LogixPath Operations Management

One system from product design to sales orders to production

LogixPath Operations Management is business software that follows a product or service from research and development through sales orders to manufacturing or service delivery, and on to customer care. The vendor's stated goal is intuitive software with wide coverage of business functions, so a company can manage most of its daily operations in one place and improve productivity, quality, on-time delivery and profitability. It is reached from computers, tablets and mobile browsers, and through a mobile app.

The modules

The main modules are arranged along the product life cycle:

• Product and bill of materials management for products, BOMs along with the product development and production methods they involve.
• Sales management for customers, selling prices and sales orders, including configurable or customized products.
• Purchasing management for vendors, purchase prices and purchase orders.
• Inventory management for stock movements and cycle counting.
• Production management for job orders, production and service execution, produced batches and traceability.
• Asset and equipment management for equipment and its servicing.
• Project management for tasks, costs and related business elements.
• A customer portal with a product catalog and document sharing, tied to the company website.

Access control, alerts for critical events, approval processes and collaboration tools are built in. The vendor compares the whole to an orchestra, with every subsystem integrated.

What teams get from it

Managers can follow an order to fulfillment, watch costs, quality and problems during production, and see material, equipment and workforce demand against capacity. Traceability supports regulatory and ethical compliance as well as customer requirements. Reports, statistics and dashboards show the state of operations.

Who it is built for

Target users are product creators and manufacturers, research and development engineers, production engineers, operators, inspectors, supervisors and managers, service providers, and staff who look after assets and equipment. The interface is meant to be learned without computer science training or IT help. It is sold in Business Central, Business and Manufacturing editions.
