Build helps the product development and production departments to manage requirements and specifications for new products, plan and keep track of progress of relevant development tasks, and add finished products into your ERP system.
KEY ISSUES
Requests for products are often handled manually outside the ERP solution, leading to no real-time overview, input errors and delays.
Adding products to an ERP system is often seen as the greatest hurdle in the product development process; getting a product ready for production can be a complicated, manual task.
Communication between departments is essential to ensure the right materials and production methods are used, but this process is often managed manually, leading to mistakes and lost production time.
Aimed primarily at Production & Product Development, Build removes this issue by providing a clear framework for each department, guiding them through each step in the process, and ensuring that products are added to the system efficiently and correctly.
