Intuitive Manufacturing Systems Empowers Remote ERP Users
Increasing competition among small manufacturers is driving the need for immediate access to critical business information. By providing MRP9000 remote users with real-time, Internet access to the enterprise, Intuitive Manufacturing Systems creates an e-commerce infrastructure that improves the flow of information and lowers operating costs.
Remote users experience the same intuitive interface and reports whether on-site or in the field. Sales representatives can easily access information such as order value and status, shipments, billings and invoice detail while away from the office. Additionally, executives or managers who are visiting a customer, vendor, or are simply working from home, use it as a vital link to critical business information.
"By adding web-based remote access capabilities to MRP9000, Intuitive Manufacturing Systems has moved to a lead position with small manufacturers," said Vic Muschiano, director of enterprise applications at ARC Advisory Group, a global market research company. "MRP9000 provides a strong backbone for the business infrastructure and this new capability clearly provides the most cost-effective way for remote users to gain access to the system."
The release of remote access functionality follows an agreement with FirstwaveÒ Technologies, Inc., to integrate their web-based relationship management solution with MRP9000. Together, remote access and CRM, are the first of several product enhancements that Intuitive Manufacturing Systems will release during the next few months. All of which empower the enterprise by increasing access to critical business information for customers, business partners and employees.
"The e-commerce capabilities we are adding today are just the beginning of the rapid evolution of our ERP system," said Chuck Gillam, president of Intuitive Manufacturing Systems. "We are developing self-service applications that will further extend the reach of MRP9000, giving users more choices and more control. This improves customer satisfaction and actually lowers their operating costs."
