VERTICENT ERP is a business software solution targeted for companies needing to manage the attributes of the inventory they provide. Whether the inventory attributes are dimensional, physical, or chemical, VERTICENT helps to optimize the utilization of each tag of inventory to help reduce scrap and improve profitability.

VERTICENT targets four key industries: Metal Service Centers, Metal Fabrication, Configure-to-Order (CTO), and Virtual/Outsourced Manufacturers and Distributors.

The benefits derived from implementing an enterprise resource planning system? To answer that question you must understand what an ERP system is. ERP solutions tie the whole enterprise together by capturing and moving data harmoniously throughout the ERP software package in a real-time or near real-time manner. Transactional activity is very efficient because it can be entered once and used in many different ways throughout the ERP system and the departments in your organization. It puts everybody on the same page improving operational efficiency throughout. That is a key benefit.

ERP systems are very good at capturing transactions as they occur. To take advantage of what an ERP system captures, the data needs to be transformed into information. This can be accomplished in many ways. In fact, many organizations have benefited from Business Intelligence reporting solutions to help them with information metrics to monitor their business and properly execute in their supply chain. Verticent's Business Intelligence solution turns data from our enterprise resource planning system into decision support information to enable change and improvement. Digital dashboards and key performance indicators can be deployed. Simple ad-hoc reporting can be developed accomplished by most users within Verticent's ERP suite enabling end users to get the information needed when it's needed.

Classic ERP solutions tie manufacturing, distribution, and finance together to work in an integrated manner. Typically, sales force automation (SFA) and customer relationship management (CRM) applications are provided by 3rd party partners via some sort of interface. Verticent's ERP system is different. Our MANUFACTURING, DISTRIBUTION and FINANCIALS modules are seamlessly integrated with Verticent SFA and SUPPORT (CRM) modules. The entire organization operates from one system…one sheet of music.

Global business is more important than ever. The Internet is the tool to help today's manufacturing or distribution entities expand their reach and become a global supplier. With Verticent's ERP software solution we deliver the web via our eSeries self-service applications for business-to-business (B2B) or business-toconsumer (B2C) sales management. Developed and fully integrated to the enterprise resource planning system from one provider...Verticent. These applications are quick to deploy and can take advantage of the look and feel of your website while securing data (within the ERP system) and access down to the user level. Users (customers, manufacturer representatives, distributors, or employees) will have the benefit of 24X7 access to their order information. Users can enter quotes or orders and construct proper configurations with the built-in web based configure-to-order module. Real-time, secured transactions or inquires, to-and-from the ERP system.
