SYSPRO

SYSPRO is an ERP system aimed solely at manufacturers and distributors. The vendor says it has operated for almost fifty years and now offers a cloud-first, AI-enabled platform. Its depth lies in inventory, traceability and production control rather than in many peripheral modules.

What SYSPRO offers

• Manufacturing — discrete, process and mixed-mode production with bills of material, scheduling and shop-floor data.
• Inventory and traceability — multi-warehouse and bin control, several costing methods, lot and serial tracking forwards and backwards.
• Distribution — purchasing, sales orders, landed cost, warehouse management and returns.
• Financials — general ledger, payables, receivables, cash book and assets.
• AI tools — a co-pilot called Sidekick, and machine learning for forecasting and anomaly detection.

Who it works with

Manufacturers and distributors, notably in regulated sectors such as food and beverage, medical devices, chemicals and electronics.
