ERP software for SMEs: effectively mapping growing requirements for
customer-oriented production effectively

With VlexPlus, manufacturing companies are able to sustainably optimize and cost-effectively organize complex sales, calculation, planning, production and procurement processes along the value chain. A system full of efficiency, flexibility and investment security!

Customized products mean a clear competitive advantage - but only if they can be realized quickly, efficiently and in a commercially viable manner. Intelligent data management of variant configurations, images, product descriptions, work plans and variant parts lists is essential in order to manage the balancing act of decreasing vertical integration while at the same time increasing the number of variants and growing data volumes.

Not only because the proportion of configuration errors is drastically reduced, but also because pricing, configuration, material disposition and planning can be implemented in a self-contained environment with significantly less effort. In order to simulate and effectively manage the resulting changes of different variants on costing and resource planning, for example, the underlying algorithms and dependencies must be freely definable and stored in a central configuration set of rules.

VlexPlus: Future-proof technology, flexibility, scalability, ergonomics and extensive functionality
VlexPlus is a cloud-capable ERP software based on state-of-the-art web technologies and ensures that the balancing act between flexibility in production management on the one hand and process efficiency on the other succeeds.

Variant management in the VlexPlus ERP system
The entire variant management was deeply integrated into the business processes in VlexPlus. The advantage: all processes relating to the configuration, planning and distribution of a wide range of article variants remain under control.

Strategic controlling of the entire variant management and extended calculation options ensure that the variant costs are determined according to the source and that companies always maintain an overview when planning, controlling and monitoring their complex order and production processes.

Mapping cross-organizational business processes in the ERP system
Thanks to its multi-site capability and open interfaces for effective end-to-end processes with partner companies, VlexPlus is also suitable for complex collaboration networks. Integrated workflow management, business intelligence, archiving and a secure IoT gateway ensure process optimization throughout the entire value creation network.
