We are quickly discovering that HighGear has become a viable and very cost-effective alternative to ERP, MRP, MES, and Factory Floor systems for small, medium, and large manufacturing companies (especially those with high complexity and low volumes).
It's been really intriguing and personally encouraging for me to see just how much time, money, and frustration we've been able to save the manufacturing teams that have already adopted our platform. It's one of our newest emerging sectors (our platform was built serving the needs of Financial Services, Energy, and Government titans), but it also feels like coming home.
We have deep roots in manufacturing as one of my previous technology companies (as well as a good part of the team that crossed over to HighGear with me) was also focused on the manufacturing sector. Working in Manufacturing Technology was also an early (and very enjoyable) part of my own IT career.
It's just taken us a while to realize what was happening here. Our truly configurable platform has reached this level where the agility is so high and our end-to-end capabilities are so complete that we are also empowering these innovative small to mid-sized manufacturing companies to handle things on their own that they used to have to spend a lot of money getting outside developers or ERP vendors to do for them. Even if they could afford it, they weren't always happy with the results.
Our clients are doing things like Complex Quote Development, Automated Routing and Conditional Scheduling, Shipping Management, QA Processes, Warranty, Design Changes and Approval processes, Production Exception Management, Equipment Maintenance, and much more - and the exciting thing is that each one can tailor it to the exact way that they want to do business, integrate with other systems, and even expose key portions to their clients or business partners through intuitive and secure portals... all without writing a single line of code.
As I said, it is intriguing and personally encouraging. I love manufacturing businesses, and it's exciting to be able to provide them with such a meaningful relief valve when compared to some of the options they've been stuck with in the past.
Don't be left with buyer's remorse after spending valuable time and money implementing the wrong software platform. With low-agility BPM solutions, manufacturers often see higher costs than expected, slow deployment times, and a rigid interface that lacks desired functionality.
Avoid all of these obstacles with a comprehensive, fully configurable no-code workflow platform. Learn more here: www.HighGear.com
