EMSNOW queries Andrew Larkam, Customer Support, Cetec ERP about what makes this platform ideal for the small to medium sized EMS companies that are looking to implement a solution to replace Excel spreadsheets. Cetec ERP was designed with this customer in mind, Andrew explains. Their solution is accessible for companies of this size because, among other things, they have demystified the implementation process, specifically the data formatting and training process, which is key to success. Andrew advises companies considering an ERP to carefully vet vendors to ensure the solution has the features they need. He cautions against a solution not designed for the shop floor, which is where all the data challenges usually arise, including inconsistent inventory part numbering systems and so forth. Cetec ERP’s team gets into the weeds in this area with data templates, extensive on-site pre go-live help and after-sales support. This is a must-listen conversation for SMEs thinking about implementing an ERP system.
