Aptean Industrial Manufacturing ERP WorkWise Edition Advantages

WorkWise Edition is designed specifically for the needs of mixed mode manufacturers with a completely integrated solution across the entire enterprise. WorkWise’s unique Role-Based Workbench increases user efficiency with tailored workbench configured according to their role.

WorkWise Edition provides deployment options and flexibility by either deploying On Premise or in the Cloud managed by WorkWise.

Aptean Industrial Manufacturing ERP WorkWise Edition Technology

Aptean’s unique and innovative Industrial Manufacturing ERP WorkWise Edition software is a revolutionary application that’s assembled to the individual needs of each user.

Historically, ERP systems have been organized with a modular approach, in which functions are represented by modules (MRP, Inventory, MES, General Ledger, etc.). However, this required users to go in and out of various modules to accomplish a single task. In many systems, this also meant that the item must be re-entered into each module. This approach was slow, tedious and inefficient.

Cloud

Workwise Edition cloud solution offers the same comprehensive suite of applications included in our on-premise ERP system, without the costly hardware infrastructure and maintenance requirements. WorkWise fully manages your IT environment, including security, updates, SQL maintenance, and regular backups. This means you can reap all the benefits of a hosted, cloud environment while still experiencing the same robust functionality WorkWise ERP is known for.

When you choose to run WorkWise Edition in the cloud, you’ll benefit from our team’s vast experience developing and implementing manufacturing software, coupled with the unmatched security, reliability, and speed of Amazon Web Services, today’s industry-leading cloud hosting provider.

We changed all of this with Role-Based WorkBenches.

WorkBenches are views that are configured to match each user’s role within the company. With Role-Based WorkBenches, workflow is configured for each user’s role and designed specifically for his or her job. Everything is available in one view so users don’t have to move in and out of applications. Everything they need to do is just a click away.

In this environment, our customers work smarter and faster – improving productivity and reducing costs.
