Generic ERP packages like SAP might be good. I learnt lately that Danisco (a danish gaint in flavours and food manufacturing) has implemented Navision. Navision is built on VBA and integrated with Microsoft office and its running is pretty smooth. Microsoft recently bought out Navision and you can check the same at their site. They usually modify their product to suit the requirement.

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
As for system generated forcasting is something i am not sure GP supports at the moment. However you can use the KPI features of the business portal might be a way around that.
Hello jakyll,
I think you should take a look at Oracle ERP. Not only have they been voted best ERP by various outside research groups, but they also have manufacturing and industry specific verticals. For more information visit http://www.oracle.com or http://www.oracle.com/industries/consumer/index.html?content.html
You might also want to look at this: http://www.gcn.com/cgi-bin/udt/im.display.printable?client.id=gcndaily2&story.id=25988
which came out today. That is one amazing ERP screw up.

Hi,
You may go for second tier ERP software-iScala. Please find out more on www.scala.net.
It also provides scalability to external sources via XML and various gadgets.
iScala also cut short your time of implementation. I have implemented it for client within 110 mandays for Financial, Logistic and Manufacturing Control.
I hope this will helps.

I would second the nomination for Microsoft Navision - very fast, flexible, SQL based, easily modified and excellent report-building.
Secondly, I would recommend checking out Epicor. I just finished implementing Vista in 3 months at a small manufacturer in Oak Park, MI. Very clean and flexible.

Most definitly Epicor. We use Epicor's Vantage. You are going to pay quite a bit for licenseing. My companies has 50 licenses, and it ran us nearly 200,000 grand for the software, however, we have every module Epicor offers for Vantage. For those of you that are familier with Vantage, Vista, or Manage, whats the word on the new Sonoma?
Can any body help me technically in iscala?
