abas ERP for the metal industry: Industry specific requirements for an IT solution

Karlsruhe, April 17, 2007 - The metal industry is one of the most important industries in Germany. The abas Business Software (ERP, PPC, MRP, eBusiness) supports metal working and processing companies in order to optimize business processes.

The metal industry which is characterized by medium-sized companies, is one of the most important industries in Germany. The industry is subject to a high level of competition in all global markets: increasing raw material prices result in pressure to lower costs. Most of the time, supplier processes are very complex. Quality, reliability, delivery reliability and service are becoming more important in order to compete successfully and to secure and increase one's own market position.

By means of a flexible ERP system such as the abas Business Software, business processes can be optimized and efficiency increased. The ERP solution supports unit, small and serial production and provides an extensive production planning. Important functions for the metal industry are, for example, the "Extended workbench" and lot management.

Many companies from the metal industry are already using the abas Business Software.
