Manufacturers are constantly navigating an evolving environment.
Escalating costs, labour shortages, disrupted supply chains, and the increasing complexity of technology and production processes mean that businesses need to be able to adapt and pivot in order to stay ahead.
At the same time, those same advancements in technology present numerous opportunities for growth, efficiency, and innovation.
For many manufacturers, outdated systems and manual processes are not only time consuming, but they actively prevent these businesses from further growth.
Data is often siloed across different departments, inventory management is cumbersome at best, and real-time insights are either difficult to obtain or indecipherable when they are available.
Without the right platform, a manufacturing business can find it almost impossible to scale while future-proofing for further growth.
This is where MYOB Acumatica comes in. As a modern, cloud-based ERP solution designed specifically for manufacturers, MYOB Acumatica helps businesses streamline operations, improve efficiencies, and can scale as you tackle new growth opportunities.
Here’s how it can help manufacturers thrive:
Manufacturing can be hugely complex, with multiple moving parts that need to align seamlessly. Without the right systems in place, inefficiencies — such as incorrect machine and system setups, production delays, and excess waste — can drive up costs and reduce your profitability.
MYOB Acumatica helps manufacturers eliminate these inefficiencies by automating workflows, improving production planning, and minimising material waste. Key features include:
By cutting down the errors and improving requirements planning, manufacturers can expand productivity and drive long-term growth.
It almost goes without saying, but collaboration is crucial in modern manufacturing.
Customers, suppliers, and your internal teams all need access to accurate, up-to-date data to ensure smooth operations. However, many manufacturers still rely on disconnected, siloed systems and manual communication methods, which can lead to costly delays and heightens the potential for miscommunication.
With MYOB Acumatica, manufacturers can integrate supply chain operations into a single platform. Benefits include:
By centralising critical data and improving communications, manufacturers can enhance efficiency and reduce the potential for costly supply chain disruptions.
Providing exceptional customer service is no longer just about delivering high-quality products. Customers now expect timely communication, fast turn-around times, and value-added services such as installation and maintenance. A disjointed approach to sales and customer management can result in missed opportunities and dissatisfied clients.
MYOB Acumatica enables manufacturers to enhance their customer service and sales processes by offering:
By streamlining customer interactions and improving response times, manufacturers can increase customer satisfaction and drive repeat business.
Maintaining inventory is one of the biggest expenses for manufacturers. Carrying too much stock ties up capital and increases storage costs, while insufficient inventory can lead to production delays and lost sales. It’s a constant battle to strike the right balance, especially with outmoded systems and processes.
MYOB Acumatica helps manufacturers optimise inventory with features such as:
Manufacturers looking for enhanced inventory management capabilities can also integrate Netstock, a powerful inventory optimisation tool that works seamlessly with MYOB Acumatica.
It’s a fully digital world and data-driven decision-making is critical. However, many manufacturers struggle with access to real-time insights due to siloed systems and outdated reporting processes.
MYOB Acumatica provides a comprehensive business intelligence suite, featuring:
With instant access to meaningful data, manufacturers can make informed decisions that drive profitability and efficiency.
Manufacturers need to meet strict quality standards and regulatory requirements. Managing compliance manually can be time-consuming and prone to errors, increasing the risk of losing customers and suffering reputational damage.

By automating quality management, manufacturers can reduce risk, maintain compliance, and improve product reliability.
