Plex ERP

The Plex Advantage

Plex powers modern manufacturing with the first ERP cloud built from the plant floor up. Businesses that use Plex ERP run smarter, leaner, more efficiently and are always ready for what’s next.

ERP for the ​“always-on” world

We live in a fast-paced world – always on, always moving, always changing. Legacy systems were born in a bygone area. Manufacturers need technology to manage all aspects of plant operations – systems that automatically improve alongside their business to meet current and future challenges. The bottom line is the legacy ERP systems are the asbestos of the enterprise software world. They’re too dangerous to rip out and need to be contained so they don’t any more damage than they already have done. With Plex, the most complete cloud ERP, manufacturers deliver at the pace of customer demand.

We are what’s next

Nearly 500 companies run their manufacturing operations on the Plex Manufacturing Cloud. From camshafts to craft beers, from high-performance diesel engines to aircraft parts, the Plex Manufacturing Cloud helps companies automate the shop floor and inform the top floor. We designed our ERP solutions literally from the ground up to connect suppliers, manage materials, control machines and deliver the accounting and business intelligence manufacturing organizations need. Whether your goal is to be more competitive, drive efficiencies, introduce innovation, or be more responsive to customer needs, Plex can help you deliver what’s next.

ERP from the cloud means you avoid disruptive updates and the hassle of version control. You’ll better manage and streamline your operations and realize key achievements such as:
 

• Increased productivity
• Reduced inventories
• Reduced scrap
• Reduced lead time
• Full compliance with ISO, QS-9000, TS-16949, Honda and other mandates
• Improved decision-making through timely and accurate information

Integrated Manufacturing Software

Easily and automatically collect and fully integrate plant floor data such as production scheduling, real-time inventory control, tool tracking, production tracking, and part genealogy, and more with enterprise resource planning (ERP) functions, customer relationship management (CRM), manufacturing execution systems (MES), and supply chain management (SCM) functions such as supplier quality and traceability. Manufacturing data is collected as it happens and flows throughout the solution for streamlined operations, reduced costs, and better decision-making.

The Plex Manufacturing Cloud does away with the traditional ​“waterfall” development schedule (version 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, etc.) in favor of an agile development methodology or ​“rapid application development” methodology. This means that Plex users never face the hassles of an upgrade. Users always access the most current version.

Plex ERP is delivered as a Software as a Service (SaaS) solution with comprehensive manufacturing ERP software functions that cover the total manufacturing enterprise.

Manufacturers need only a web browser to securely access all of the analysis and management functions of a full-featured manufacturing ERP system designed to meet the requirements of all departments within a quality-driven manufacturer. No hardware or software installations are required.

Manufacturers are no longer burdened with the time-consuming and costly tasks of managing an enterprise-class application infrastructure: no more backups, no more patches, no more software upgrades, and no more purchases of additional disk space and CPU power.

Lastly, Plex doesn’t simply view the cloud as a technology option but as a fundamentally different business. Plex users vote with their dollars every time they renew, so Plex has developed an unyielding passion for customer success.

Plex even includes customer support as part of the subscription, unlike legacy vendors that charge upward of 20% of the license fee every year. Plex only succeeds when our customers succeed, not when the check is cashed.

Plex ERP Technology: Built for Smart Manufacturing

Plex ERP is a pioneer in cloud technology for manufacturers, offering one of the only 100% pure SaaS solutions in the industry. Unlike legacy systems adapted for the cloud, Plex was designed from the ground up to connect the entire manufacturing enterprise in real time.

With Plex, manufacturers eliminate the cost and complexity of traditional on-premises ERP. There are no servers to manage, no costly upgrades, and no software to install. A simple web browser provides secure access to critical systems anytime, anywhere. The subscription-based model ensures predictable costs while delivering continuous innovation.

At its core the Plex Smart Manufacturing Platform is a unified, cloud-native solution that integrates ERP, MES, quality, supply chain, and industrial IoT. By connecting people, systems, machines, and data, Plex gives manufacturers visibility and control across every operation, from the plant floor to the supply chain.

Key advantages include cost-effective deployment, rapid onboarding, always-current functionality, and actionable insights powered by real-time data. Manufacturers gain the agility to adapt quickly, maintain compliance, and improve productivity while focusing on growth rather than software management.

Plex ERP delivers more than cloud ERP — it provides a complete smart manufacturing foundation built to help modern manufacturers compete and win.
