ERP Software and Vendors

Ultra Consultants is an independent ERP consultant firm serving the manufacturing and distribution industries since 1994. We help clients in selecting ERP Software systems and choosing ERP software. Our clients choose the best ERP software systems for their particular business based upon our proven Business Process Improvement (BPI) methodology.

Selecting ERP Software Systems by Functionality

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software applications are vital to a company’s success. From small startups to large corporate enterprises, the ability to digitally manage processes, have end-to-end data flow and analyze information from all departments and units through one ERP software system is critical to success.

ERP software accounts for all activity and transactions across all functional areas. All of this activity should be integrated ideally within one solution. The more integrated the solution, the more effective it will be in managing your organization. Customer data that can flow seamlessly through operations and populate reliable financial data creates accountability and the ability to analyze.

Operations and finances are the lifeblood of a company and data needs to be precise, accurate and reliable. Data should only have to be input once, especially master data.

Benefits of ERP Software

Enterprise Management

The fundamental benefit of selecting ERP software systems is the provision of end-to end-enterprise management. Typical functional areas within ERP software include:
  • Financial Management
  • General Ledger
  • Accounts Payable/Receivable
  • Estimates and Quotes
  • Sales orders
  • Production Management – Planning, Scheduling, Execution
  • Purchasing
  • Receiving
  • Inventory Management
  • Customer & Vendor Master Data
  • Fixed Asset Management
  • Quality Control
  • Shipping

Automation & Digitalization

Both small companies and large enterprises often find themselves relying on manual processes with multiple points of double data entry. Digitizing and automating processes in addition to having one single point of data entry will streamline operations and significantly reduce errors.

Integration

Integrated departments with full access to data can supplement business processes, allowing technology to assist in growth. Most companies moving to ERP software applications realize improvements in productivity partly due to the integration of data and workflow among departments. Additional benefits include:
  • Better access to information
  • Higher customer satisfaction
  • Increased transaction velocity
  • Improved management of assets, including customers, inventory, and production
