If your business has several geographically dispersed manufacturing or distribution facilities or facilities that vary operationally with different production capabilities, you may need multi-site functionality in your ERP system. abas ERP provides a variety of convenient features and functions that assist in serving multi-site manufacturing organizations.
One of these features is distribution requirements planning, or DRP, which allows you to automate tasks across multiple locations, including multiple steps in the manufacturing and distribution process, creating a true supply chain. For example, if you are running a production facility in Los Angeles and a distribution center in North Carolina, you could use abas to automate the replenishment of low inventory.
abas’ extensive set of mobile apps for sales, warehouse management, and time keeping – all of which automatically sync with the master data in abas – help make multi-site organizations run smoother. Our mobile apps cover a wide spectrum of ERP activities and include mobile versions of delivery, CRM, cycle count, inventory management, time clock, point of sale, and service, giving your staff the ability to interface with your ERP system from wherever they are.
Within one abas ERP instance, you have the ability to define multiple sites. This groups together key data or processes such as inventory, production and purchasing, so that you can keep track of everything for that site in one place without running a separate ERP instance. For more details on this, see Inter-Company Planning.
