What is ERP / MES?

Let’s keep it simple. In one sentence: an ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system automates your business processes (logistics and administration), while an MES (Manufacturing Execution System) aims to make your production process itself more efficient.

The advantages of custom software

You can opt for a standard software solution, which is usually cheaper and implemented faster compared to developing a whole new custom solution. And although off-the-shelf software often already means an enormous improvement, you will reap greater gains from custom software – especially in the long run. Here’s why:

Specific

Your business processes are unique, so the chances are slim that off-the-shelf software that perfectly matches your needs already exists. Custom software includes everything you need, without unnecessary features you don't use.

Scalable

It's an investment with the goal of making the best use of your time and resources. It is also a return on that investment is almost inevitable. Custom software grows with your business. There is less clutter and better performance (with clarity on top).

Flexible / independent

You integrate (or improve) the business processes you already use and look for what your company/production process specifically still need. A custom developer will make use of the resources (hardware and devices) that you already have.
