As technological change increases, financial management must decide whether their legacy on-premises ERP system is keeping pace or if they should select a new ERP. Cloud-based manufacturing ERPs streamline and automate workflows, save labor and IT costs, speed the financial close, and provide AI-driven business intelligence. 

This article describes the top 14 manufacturing ERP Systems in 2022. Select a software solution that matches your manufacturing business size, offers scalability for growth, provides features to improve decision-making and profitability, and fits your budget. 

What is Manufacturing ERP Software?

Manufacturing ERP software is a system with a unified database that handles business processes including accounting and finance, purchasing, supply chain, and material requirements planning (MRP) functionality, including bill of materials, master planning, and production scheduling. A manufacturing ERP system tracks raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods inventory by item. 

ERP is enterprise resource planning.  

The manufacturing ERP platform may integrate with customer relationship management (CRM), payroll, supply chain management and procurement, warehouse management, human resources software, project management, product lifecycle management (PLM), eCommerce, and third-party add-on apps, including AP automation. 

A manufacturing ERP system may be designed solely for manufacturing companies (and distributors) or part of an all-industry solution offering MRP modules and inventory management for manufacturers. 

Current manufacturing ERP solutions are cloud-based with business intelligence and smart shop floor IoT sensors, and AI/machine learning features monitoring manufacturing processes and providing alerts.
