## The gaps legacy ERP can't close.

Most ERP wasn't designed for your shop floor. It was adapted from something else. Here's what that costs you.

speed

### Legacy ERP Is Slowing You Down

Your production floor moves fast. Your ERP does not. When schedules change, orders shift, or a machine goes down, your team is juggling spreadsheets alongside a system that cannot keep pace. You lose time. You lose visibility. You lose margin.

### You Are Flying Blind on Costs

You know what a job should cost. Knowing what it actually costs, material variances, labor hours, overhead allocation, only becomes clear at month-end. By then, the margin is already gone and the decisions have already been made.

analytics

### The CFO Wants ROI. You Need Data.

Every capital investment needs a business case. But if your ERP cannot show a clear before-and-after on productivity, cost accuracy, and capacity utilization, making the case for change is harder than it should be. And the cost of staying with the status quo keeps climbing.

## Purpose-built. Not adapted.

Syspro is purpose-built for discrete manufacturers, not adapted from a generic platform. Every feature is designed for the complexity of your production environment.

01

### Real-Time WIP Tracking

See exactly where every job, batch, and order stands, from raw material receipt to finished goods despatch. Live dashboards give your operations team the data they need to act, not react.

02

### True Job Costing

Syspro captures actual labor, material, and overhead costs at the job level in real time. Your CFO gets accurate production P&Ls before month-end, not after. Know what a job costs while you can still act on it.

03

### MES Integration Built In

Connect your ERP to your Manufacturing Execution System without custom builds. Syspro's open API architecture and pre-built connectors bring shop floor data into the business system without manual entry or batch syncing.
