Are your systems letting you down?

Manufacturers across Australia and New Zealand (ANZ) are facing increasing pressure: tighter margins, complex supply chains, labour shortages and stricter compliance requirements. Legacy or one-size-fits-all systems make it harder to respond with speed, accuracy and consistency, and many manufacturing companies are impacted by the same outcomes.

Fragmented systems

Old or mismatched tools create silos between systems and teams that decrease productivity. Manual workarounds for legacy technology and visibility gaps slow decision-making and increase risk on a number of fronts.

Unpredictable production

Limitations to scheduling within existing platforms, weaker quality controls and less transparent oversight, and reactive rather than proactive maintenance can lead to costly downtime and missed deadlines for manufacturing operations.

Growing compliance demands

As well as needing to meet complex Australian and New Zealand manufacturing standards, manufacturers operate in a space often targeted by hackers. They are now faced with the challenge of highly complex cyber security threats, and an obligation to not only safeguard their processes and operations, but also their data.

Rapidly obsolete practices

Systems designed and built for a more traditional approach to manufacturing can fail to meet the requirements of AI-enabled and cloud ERP advancements in the field, reducing the output and the competitiveness of any business.

As an authorised Epicor partner in Australia and New Zealand, SoftLabs delivers Epicor Kinetic ERP to help manufacturers overcome these challenges, running a more stable, connected and efficient operation. 

Purpose-built for manufacturing

A modern ERP for manufacturing, Kinetic supports a range of environments, from food and beverage to metal fabrication, automotive, electronics and more, across both discrete and process manufacturing. With real-time production data, automated workflows and integrated supply chain management, you gain the visibility and control needed to operate with confidence.
