SAP Business One
A complete ERP solution for small and medium capital goods manufacturers and engineering firms. Covers project-based manufacturing, production planning, BOM management, procurement, inventory, job costing, quality checks, sales, finance, warranty tracking, after-sales service, and spare parts management with fast deployment and easy scalability.
Cloud ERP (Private, Public Cloud & On-Premise)
Flexible and scalable ERP deployment options tailored for capital goods manufacturing. Choose Private Cloud for dedicated infrastructure and enhanced data security, Public Cloud for cost-effective SaaS deployment with automatic updates, or On-Premise for full control, deeper customization, and seamless integration with CAD/PLM systems, shop-floor machinery, IoT platforms, and legacy applications.
Key Challenges in the Capital Goods Industry
Complex Multi-Level BOM Structures
Capital goods require assemblies, sub-assemblies, machining, and fabrication.
Engineering to Production Coordination Issues
Design changes must sync with production instantly.
Long Lead Times of Components
Delayed procurement increases project delivery timelines.
Dependence on Job Work & Subcontracting
Critical machining is often outsourced and needs tracking.
Quality & Compliance Documentation
Testing, approvals, and certifications are mandatory for machinery.
After-Sales Service & Warranty Handling
Customers need installation support and service scheduling.
