  • The Internet
  • Mobile area networks
  • Genomics
  • Health information technology

Enterprise resource planning, (ERP), for medical devices is software that allows your organization to use an integrated applications system to manage your business and automate back office functions. Compliance with the Food and Drug Administration and other regulatory bodies is a challenge in the business world. Fortunately, ERP systems bring together the tools needed to meet these challenges. Some of the benefits are:

  • More efficient workflows.
  • Visibility into processes for ongoing improvement.
  • Data re-entry prevention.
  • Improved data security.

Medical Device manufacturers need customer relationship management capabilities that support relationship sales strategies, mobile field sales, service support, inventory management, marketing, and accounts planning. Two software products available are:

  • Role-Based Workbenches which increase productivity up to 50 percent. They allow workflow to be configured for each user’s role.
  • A Mobile Metrics application that gives you access to your data from a tablet or smartphone anywhere, anytime.

Being successful in the Medical Device industry depends on your company’s ability to produce high quality products faster than your competition. ERP software solutions provide excellent financial management, product management and customer relations management.

/in , /by

When choosing a manufacturing software, you have many options available. Whether you are a fresh start-up looking to lay down the groundwork for your operations or you are looking to overhaul and increase the annual profit margin of your business, whatever your situation, you know that ERP software has worked for businesses like yours. You want to find the most cost-effective, productive option. So, here’s a few key focal points to consider:

 

Manufacturing Software for Long-Term Management

You want manufacturing software that will break down the key data for management, so you know the long-term decisions you need to make. First and foremost, you need a software which will give you the comprehensive, bird’s-eye view you need.

 

Manufacturing Software for Supervisors

In addition to the bird’s-eye view, you want manufacturing software that will let you know what is really going on at any point in time. Your ideal manufacturing software should know, moment-by-moment, what you have on hand in terms of personnel and other resources, and who is responsible for handling those resources.

 

Manufacturing Software That Is User-Friendly

As has been said many times, the best software in the world is not going to do much good if you don’t know how to use it. Make sure that you have taken the chance to see live demonstrations of the software, how it works, how it tracks information, how you ask for data, how reports will be presented. Consider making a list of the kinds of data you’re looking for, information you want to make sure will be in there and reports you must have.

 

Manufacturing Software That Will Achieve Buy In

Your manufacturing software has to work for all your employees. As with any major software implementation, make sure you have notified and properly trained all who will be using it. Even if you cannot please everyone in your company, advance notification can do wonders, as well as carefully soliciting opinions.

 

Manufacturing Software That Will Suit Your Business

Last but by no means least, look for the manufacturing software that will work with your unique business model. Find an ERP vendor that you are willing to view as a business partner, working together for your needs.
