Improve Batch Planning Across the Business
Balancing account stock levels, order fulfilment and production processes are all key when creating an accurate sales and operations plan. SYSPRO’s inventory forecasting and optimization capabilities provide you with the visibility you need to identify product sales trends, including seasonality, and then determine your optimum buffer stocks and stock level profiles.
In addition, SYSPRO enables accurate production planning and scheduling with real-time data, so you can ensure the correct batch jobs are sequenced to minimize production downtime.
Control Fulfillment and Delivery
Whether you are delivering on a just-in-time (JIT) basis or making aggregate deliveries on specific customer routes and loads, the SYSPRO dispatch process provides the control you need to ensure order fulfillment. SYSPRO’s inventory-management functionality provides you with full visibility and control of finished goods in their physical bin locations, and, you can support transactions by showing physical stock in the warehouse. SYSPRO Mobile ERP, our mobility platform, enables you to record transactions in situ, and perform functions such as transfers, receipts, bin transfers and stock counts.
Enable Efficient Batch Scheduling
Whether your batch manufacturing process is a set of sequential operations in a refinement process, or in a blending/mixing process, it’s critical to orchestrate your production plan in the right sequence, factoring in planned capacity and availability of raw materials.
SYSPRO ERP features advanced scheduling functionality to help you drive the sequence of operations and jobs, making sure you have a time-phased plan that includes planned change-over, machine cleaning and setup changes. With SYSPRO ERP you can further see total capacity and materials requirements, so you can make sure materials needed at each step in the batch process are on hand.
Optimize Materials Sourcing and Replenishment
Before you start a batch run, you need the right mix and quantities of materials at the right locations. Managing the ongoing cycle of purchasing and replenishment can be really difficult without accurate information. SYSPRO ERP for batch manufacturing gives your buying department the real-time visibility they need to make the right purchasing decisions to ensure materials are available without overstocking.

The management and control of returns is often an area overlooked by ERP systems. SYSPRO’s Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) functionality helps you respond quickly to customer requests to return products and puts knowledge in the hands of customer service personnel. Plus, information can be fed back to product development to support continuous quality improvement.
