The world of manufacturing has been innovating since its start of machine use in the the 18th century. Since then, this industry has been on the cutting edge of harnessing new technologies to always be increasing efficiency and productivity.
The manufacturing industry is one that touches and impacts each and every one of us, as Americans, and has connections and supply chains running across the whole globe.
It might be a little cliché to say, but the manufacturing industry today is running like a well oiled machine and continues to get better with the continuous improvements and advancements in technology.
As we stated before, once manufacturing switched from everything done by hand to the use of machines in the 18th century, the world has never looked back. Today, the manufacturing industry is reliant on this technology which has helped it rise with great success.
As experts in technology, however, we know that when you rely on technology for much of your operation it can be especially detrimental when technology fails.
While it may not happen often, technology is vulnerable to a number of flaws, human error, and cybersecurity concerns. These risks apply to manufacturing in the same way they apply to any other industry or business.
At Expedient Technology Solutions we have harnessed our IT expertise to partner with manufacturers and support their technology infrastructure in invaluable ways, saving them time and money in the long run.
How Can We Support Your Manufacturing Business?
Enterprise Resource Planning Support
We know there are a multitude of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solutions available for your manufacturing company to choose from. These services are utilized for most of your day to day operations from managing finances to warehouse inventory.
ERP’s have been one of the biggest advancement in “smart manufacturing” and are usually cloud based programs.
As your managed IT service provider, we will act as a vendor liaison with your ERP support team. When issues arise within these systems we will work with your ERP provider to detect and mitigate any problems efficiently to reduce any loss your company could endure as a result.
We have experience working with most of the top rated and commonly used ERP Systems below:
- Epicor
- Global Shop
- JobBoss
- IQMS
- E2
- Sage
- ProfitKey and more
Shipping and Label Printing Services
Another large portion of a manufacturing company revolves around shipping and printing. Again, this is an area that can be automated through a multitude of different programs. When these programs fail, your whole supply chain could be in jeopardy.
We have experience in working with the following shipping and printing software and can support you when issues arise.
- UPS WorldShip
- FedEx Toolbox
- Nice Label
- BarTender and more
What makes Expedient Technology a Great Match For Manufacturing Support?
Today, there are a lot of IT support companies out there. What makes Expedient Technology different? What makes us a great partner to manufacturing companies?
We are glad you asked. At Expedient Technology, we have the skills, expertise, and experience to help manage even the biggest of manufacturing IT systems but we operate differently than the other guys.
We view each manufacturer we do business with as a partner. We support you for a fixed, predictable monthly rate, which makes us more an extension of your team rather than hiring outside professionals to fix problems.
We are constantly working for you with 24 hour availability and 1 hour response times. This also means we consistently monitor your systems for cybersecurity threats, updates, and any other bugs that may occur.
