ERP provider SYSPRO Achieves TEC Certification Status

SYSPRO, a leading global provider of ERP software, announced today that it has been certified by independent software research firm Technology Evaluation Centers (TEC). To attain certified status, SYSPRO completed a product demonstration session and benchmarking analysis, covering the main functional areas of the SYSPRO ERP solution as well as other features such as user experience, interface, and workflow

The resultant TEC report highlights the experience and expertise that SYSPRO brings to manufacturing and distribution customers as well as the ability for SYSPRO ERP to be deployed in the cloud or on-premise. It specifically notes how SYSPRO is known for providing extensive support for its customers’ complex industries across an ‘impressive’ range of manufacturing types, including assemble-to-order (ATO), batch, discrete, engineer-to-order (ETO), job shop, make-to-order (MTO), make-to-stock (MTS), process, and a mix of these different modes.

According to Paulo De Matos, Chief Product Officer at SYSPRO, “As manufacturers and distributors continue to consider the reconfiguration of supply chains with an increased focus on resiliency, transparency, and visibility, they require an ERP solution from industry specialists that understand their unique vertical challenges. I am pleased that the report highlights our vertical specialization along with our strong track record and footprint in the markets we support.”

The report also benchmarks SYSPRO against the industry average within a series of TEC Focus Indicator graphs. Within the graphs, software functionality is ranked within four key zones, including the minimal support zone, the industry average zone, the competitive zone, and the dominant zone.

The functionality graphs in the TEC report indicate that SYSPRO is functionally rich primarily appearing in the dominant and competitive zones. According to PJ Jakovljevic, Principal Analyst at Technology Evaluation Centers, “The SYSPRO solution is competitive in all functional modules of the research models and has dominant functional capabilities in the inventory, purchasing and sales management areas.” Jakovljevic goes on to add “SYSPRO, unlike some other providers, continues to keep up with cutting-edge technologies and incorporates these into the solution.”

Key takeouts from SYSPRO functionality benchmark graphs

SYSPRO for Discrete Manufacturing

Discrete manufacturing refers to the production of distinct items and involves the precise orchestration between the flow of components. This type of manufacturing, therefore, requires a system to help plan, execute and control the production in high- and low-variance.

Here dominant SYSPRO functionality includes Sales Management and Purchasing Management and competitive SYSPRO functionality includes Inventory Management, Manufacturing Management, Product Technology.

*Discrete Manufacturing Functionality like Human Resources, Quality Management, and Financials lie below the industry average, as those are not currently key focus areas for SYSPRO.

SYSPRO for Process Manufacturing

Process manufacturing is a production method that uses formulas or recipes to produce goods by combining ingredients or raw materials. The end product is measured according to weight or volume, and once made, cannot be broken down back into raw materials.

Here dominant SYSPRO functionality includes Product Technology and Sales Management and competitive functionality includes Purchasing Management, Inventory Management. Other functionality such as Financials, Process Manufacturing Management, and Quality Management is on par with the industry average.
