SUMMARY:How to Spot Gaps in Your ERP Support
DESCRIPTION:ERP systems are mission-critical to manufacturing operations—but many organizations don’t realize there are gaps in their ERP support until those gaps start impacting production\, reporting\, or decision-making. \nIn this webinar\, our Advanced Support team will walk manufacturing executives through how to identify hidden weaknesses in their ERP support model and understand the real business impact those gaps create across operations\, finance\, and the shop floor. \nRather than focusing on technical troubleshooting\, this session takes an executive-level view of ERP support—what “good” support should look like\, where it commonly breaks down\, and how reactive support models quietly limit performance\, scalability\, and growth. \nYou’ll learn how to spot warning signs such as recurring system issues\, growing manual workarounds\, risky upgrades\, and limited visibility into system health—before they turn into costly disruptions. \nWhether you are evaluating your current ERP partner or simply want to ensure your ERP is supporting the business as intended\, this session will provide practical insight and clear takeaways. \nWho should attend:Manufacturing executives\, operations leaders\, IT leaders\, and financial decision-makers are responsible for ERP performance and business outcomes. \nKey takeaways: \n\nCommon ERP support gaps seen in manufacturing organizations\nHow those gaps impact operations\, reporting\, and risk\nQuestions executives should be asking their internal teams and ERP partners\nWhat a proactive\, manufacturing-focused ERP support model enables\n\nRegister Now!

SUMMARY:EDI Simplified- Stop Manual Entry for Good
DESCRIPTION:Many manufacturers still spend hours every week manually entering customer orders\, whether they arrive on paper\, by email\, or as PDFs\, through spreadsheets\, or via customer portals. While these methods may feel “digital\,” they still require re-keying data\, managing uploads and downloads\, and fixing avoidable errors. \nEDI Simplified: Stop Manual Entry for Good is an EDI 101 webinar designed for manufacturers who want to reduce order errors\, eliminate manual processes\, and keep up with customer requirements\, without overcomplicating their ERP or IT environment. \nIn this session\, we’ll break down EDI in plain language and show how it can replace paper-based transactions and portal-heavy workflows with automated\, system-to-system data exchange. We’ll also cover common manufacturing pain points like order accuracy\, shipping delays\, and customer scorecards\, and how modern\, ERP-integrated EDI helps solve them. \nWhether you’re still dealing with paper orders or juggling multiple customer portals\, this webinar will help you understand: \n\nWhat EDI is (and what it isn’t)\nWhere manual processes are slowing you down\nHow manufacturers successfully transition from manual entry to automation\nWhat a practical first step into EDI really looks like\n\nThis event is designed to help manufacturers eliminate manual order processing with a clear\, scalable path to automation. \nRegister now!
