[Webinar August 22] SME Manufacturers’ Government Funding Options for ERP
Canadian SME manufacturers strive to scale profitably while coping with global economic shifts, trade rules, and constantly morphing competition. A common obstacle to profitable growth is inefficiency caused by error-prone data entry, paper-based tracking, inaccurate inventory, quality challenges, and unnecessary waste.
The situation is compounded by multiple combinations of disconnected or outdated systems – and problems multiply as limited resources are expended to fix unintended and costly errors.
Most manufacturers fully understand the need to invest in technology to improve their ability to compete in a global market and are also acutely aware of the risks associated with major technology investments. For these reasons, Mentor Works has partnered with Plex, who offers industry-leading manufacturing ERP software to improve ROI across your business. This webinar will provide insight into how an ERP can be financed and how you can best utilize on-site and third-party training. Whether you are scaling up and getting into ERP, modernizing, or replacing legacy ERP systems, this webinar is for you!
