By tailoring effective planning solutions to your specific manufacturing needs, you can operate more proactively and effectively.
	Real-Time Production Data Lack of real-time production data can lead to delayed issue resolution on the shop floor, lower productivity, increased costs, and missed delivery deadlines. With real-time data insights and mobile technology, you can optimize operations, increase productivity, and make better, faster decisions toward your manufacturing goals.
	Comprehensive Quality Control Comprehensive quality control solutions can minimize waste and improve product quality. We can help implement tailored measures, including process controls and document control, to identify defects early, minimize waste, comply with industry regulations, and enhance customer satisfaction.

	Cost Controls and Tracking Effective cost control and tracking are critical for profitability in manufacturing by optimizing production processes. Implementing a modern ERP solution provides detailed cost measurements without burdening your team. With advanced tools and best practices, you can achieve profitability and stay ahead of the competition.
	Optimizing Shop Floor and Warehouse Integrating shop floor and warehouse solutions can be challenging due to their historical separation. Traditional ERP systems may not address real-time needs while dedicated WMS solutions may not handle manufacturing complexities. We understand these challenges and can deploy an integrated ERP solution that effectively addresses inventory, financial, and manufacturing needs while optimizing information availability.
	One Source of Truth Efficient manufacturing operations rely on consistent and detailed information. Integrated solutions that provide a single source of truth are necessary. Implementing ERP solutions that address all aspects of manufacturing and simplifying business intelligence solutions will allow for the delivery of valuable information to enhance decision-making capabilities.
	Flexibility To thrive in the dynamic manufacturing industry, flexibility is key. With a specialized ERP solution, businesses can quickly adapt to changing customer needs and supply chain disruptions. Our implementation methodology emphasizes flexibility at every level, enabling companies to stay agile and optimize their operations in today's ever-changing marketplace.

Manufacturing Industry Success Stories

Expertise in Multiple Manufacturing Methods

Blytheco specializes in software solutions, implementations, and support for manufacturing. With over 5,000 implementations, we have solved even the most complex challenges for a variety of manufacturing businesses.

DISCRETE MANUFACTURING

Manufacturing companies that operate in this space often face unique challenges related to supply chain management, production planning, and inventory control. An effective ERP solution can help streamline operations, improve visibility into their supply chains, and optimize their production processes. We have expertise in tailoring solutions specifically to the needs of discrete manufacturers, offering robust functionality and customizable workflows to help businesses of all sizes achieve their production goals.

MAKE-TO-ORDER MANUFACTURING

With an effective ERP solution, manufacturers can streamline their make-to-order processes and better manage their production workflows with tools and functionality to generate work orders directly from sales orders. This seamless integration enables manufacturers to quickly and efficiently translate customer orders into actionable production plans, reducing the risk of errors and delays. Additionally, real-time visibility into production progress enables the sales team to stay up-to-date on the status of customer orders and respond promptly to customer inquiries. By improving collaboration and communication between sales and production teams, manufacturers can deliver high-quality, customized products on-time and on-budget.

CONFIGURE-TO-ORDER MANUFACTURING

With the right solution and expertise, manufacturers can easily configure components and bill of materials based on customer requirements, generate work orders, and track production progress. This quickly enables and efficiently translates customer orders into actionable production plans, reducing lead times and improving customer satisfaction. Real-time visibility into production progress enables the monitoring of inventory levels, tracking orders, and managing production schedules. This visibility also extends to the sales team, who can monitor the status of customer orders and respond promptly to inquiries. Optimizing production workflows allows enhanced collaboration and communication between sales and production teams.

ENGINEER-TO-ORDER MANUFACTURING

Our expertise in implementing and supporting solutions for ETO manufacturing provides powerful tools and functionality to streamline the design and production process. Integrating with CAD design software will enable on-the-fly bill of materials (BOM) creation based on custom designs. This seamless integration eliminates the need for manual BOM creation, reducing errors and speeding up the production process. Additionally, this offers monitoring of costs, managing project timelines, and tracking production in real-time. This enables optimized production workflows and improved management of customer expectations throughout the production.

CONTRACT MANUFACTURING

The right ERP solution offers a comprehensive suite of tools and functionality that enables contract manufacturers to streamline their production processes, improve collaboration with third-party suppliers, and maintain high-quality standards. Real-time visibility into production progress and comprehensive quality management functionality reduces costs, reduces errors, and allows for high-quality products to be delivered to customers on-time and on-budget. The ability to monitor production and track delivery times extends to the third-party supplier, enabling them to provide updates on production progress and respond promptly to any issues or concerns. Comprehensive quality management functionality enables manufacturers to maintain stringent quality standards and ensure that products meet customer requirements. Our solution includes tools to manage quality control checks, inspection records, and non-conformance reports, enabling manufacturers to identify quality issues early and take corrective action to prevent them from recurring.

PROCESS MANUFACTURING

We understand that consistency and quality are paramount in process manufacturing. The right tool and the right functionality will streamline the production process recipe and formulation management for products accurately. ERP solutions that offer backward and forward traceability and lot tracking functionality allow manufacturers to track materials and components from suppliers through to final assembly. This enables manufacturers to ensure quality and safety throughout the production process. Additionally, comprehensive quality management functionality allows for maintaining stringent quality standards and ensure that products meet customer requirements. This includes tools to manage quality control checks, inspection records, and non-conformance reports, enabling manufacturers to identify quality issues early and take corrective action to prevent them from recurring.
