ERP manufacturing without limitations

As manufacturing operations evolve, many businesses find themselves relying on multiple systems, spreadsheets and disconnected workflows to support day-to-day production.

This often creates duplicated processes, reduced visibility and unnecessary operational inefficiencies across estimating, production and fulfilment activities. Optimus brings these workflows together within a single operational platform, helping businesses simplify processes, improve accuracy and maintain greater control throughout the production lifecycle.

Operational reporting and workflow visibility can then be enhanced further through the Optimus intelligence  suite, including Dataflex for structured data extraction and analysis across manufacturing operations, production activities and connected business systems.

Using integrations through Dataflex and Optimus Automate Exporter 2, manufacturing businesses can analyse, visualise and present production data from multiple operational sources. Combined with RDC time collection and live production feedback, management teams gain improved reporting, operational insight and real-time visibility across the organisation.

Production scheduling, capacity planning and workflow coordination can also be expanded through the Optimus Plus suite, including integrated finite planning solutions such as Prestige Scheduler. This helps manufacturing businesses improve resource utilisation, production visibility and operational efficiency across complex manufacturing environments.

Many manufacturers assume a traditional ERP solution is the only way to gain greater control, visibility and scalability across increasingly demanding production environments.

However, Optimus combines the flexibility of the dash calculation engine with the structured operational control of the Optimus Core platform to deliver a highly configurable manufacturing environment within a single connected system.

Optimus dash enables manufacturing businesses to model estimating logic, production routes, workflow automation and operational processes specific to their own manufacturing requirements, while Core manages purchasing, invoicing, reporting, job tracking and operational visibility across the wider organisation.

The platform can then be extended further through integrated modules and connected technologies, including Mobile Stock Movements (MSM) for live inventory management, Sales Order Processing for call-off and Bill & Hold workflows, and integration with third-party production, workflow and business systems through Optimus Automate.

Together, this creates a scalable Industry 4.0-ready manufacturing platform capable of supporting highly specialised production, fulfilment and operational environments without the complexity and rigidity often associated with traditional ERP systems, while still delivering comparable operational functionality at a significantly lower investment level.
