Why Customers Select Apriso

More than 150 customers worldwide have selected Apriso to power more than 550 operations execution installations worldwide. Why? Because we are passionate about three things: our product innovation; our deep manufacturing operations execution expertise; and our continued focus on what our customers need most – adaptive manufacturing.

Apriso helps manufacturers adapt quickly and easily to market changes and unexpected events in three ways: First, by helping our customers integrate and coordinate the entire breadth of their manufacturing operations to increase return on assets, reduce cost of goods, decrease work-in-process inventory and cost of labor while maintaining or improving product quality. Second, we enable our customers to extend the value of their ERP investment by leveraging the link between management of the business with the execution of their operations, across the enterprise. Lastly, we help them coordinate, control and manage operations execution for their global enterprise, ensuring production efficiencies are achieved across each location, while providing real-time, actionable and embedded feedback of key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure efficiency on a worldwide basis.   

Beyond Silos to Operations Execution

Today, it is no longer sufficient to rely on a collection of hybrid, ‘silo’ execution systems, each addressing one component of your overall operations plan. Systems should be linked to cross communicate, share best practices and provide the ability to optimize processes. Best-in-class manufacturers understand that processes are typically cross-functional and must be managed and optimized as such, not as separate individual components. Only then can Lean and other continuous improvement programs contribute to meaningful operations improvements and sustainable competitive advantages. 

Extending the Value of ERP

The decision to implement an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system is a substantial one. One that impacts future IT systems and architecture design. Once that decision has been made, opportunities to enhance the performance and capabilities of these systems can produce substantial rewards, helping to accelerate your return on investment while improving overall operations performance. With Apriso, customers extend the value of their ERP systems by filling the “white space” gaps between business planning and automation, helping to leverage ERP and Operations Execution together to improve operations performance across their enterprises. Apriso’s FlexNet platform integrates enterprise applications all the way down to the shop floor to help you:

• Increase return on assets by optimizing production processes
• Enhance business and operations planning to reduce cost of goods sold and decrease inventory
• Improve operations performance by decreasing work-in-process inventory and cost of labor
• Integrate and maintain product quality across disparate operations, throughout the enterprise

Making the Global Enterprise a Reality

In order to compete in today’s global marketplace, it is necessary to leverage whatever competitive advantage you can, from the sourcing of raw materials and labor to the production of your final product or service. When customers select Apriso, they are choosing a vendor and product capable of supporting worldwide operations, providing for consistent data collection and measurement, KPI metrics that are embedded and actionable, as well as support for multiple locations across any time zone and local language.
