Is My Machine Shop Too Small for an ERP System? | Machine Shop Talk Ep. 88
Have you ever considered implementing an ERP system in your business, but thought that your shop was too small to benefit? ERP systems are just for huge corporations, right?
Ian Sandusky from Lakewood Machine certainly had that thought, but Steve Michon from Zero Tolerance LLC is here to tell him why he might want to reconsider. Steve recently implemented @ECiSoftwareSolutions JobBOSS² in his 14-person shop, and over the last six months has been familiarizing and getting up to speed on the process. Remarkably, he has found that benefits are tangible already and is here to help dispel some myths people may hold about ERPs – and to speak to some of his biggest challenges getting up and running.
Have YOU implemented an ERP system in your shop yet? How did you choose which route to take? What were some of your biggest challenges in the process? Let us know in the comments below!
