Mini Enterprise
Mini Enterprise Edition allows you to handle the advanced processes that experienced manufacturing managers expect. An advanced cloud system that is easy to implement.
Standard Processes
Quick Implementation
Proper business control is now accessible to smaller companies using manufacturing ERP and cloud systems.
Mini Enterprise is designed with the experience we have from hundreds of manufacturing ERP implementations.
There is support for the key manufacturing processes such as make-to-order or make-to-stock, full traceabliity and many other features that can only be expected in large company ERP systems, but with a focus on quick implementation, and “out-of-the-box” functionality in a single factory.
