What is end-to-end?
End-to-end describes a process that takes a system or service from beginning to end and delivers a complete functional solution, usually without needing to obtain anything from a third party. It often refers to vendors that can see a project through from beginning to end, and supply everything needed to create a workable solution—be it hardware, software, labor, written materials, and procedures. End-to-end solutions also adhere to a philosophy that eliminates as many middle layers or steps as possible, which helps to optimize the performance and efficiency of a business.
What is end-to-end ERP?
End-to-end ERP is a solution that provides visibility throughout the organization, helping manufacturers communicate internally and externally. This leads to improvements in everything from product design to process controls, and offers organizational leaders deeper insight and better control from the shop floor to the top floor.
What do manufacturers get from end-to-end ERP?
Manufacturers that implement end-to-end ERP are more likely to:
- Generate a real-time perspective into status of all processes
- Readily and precisely follow components and items throughout the purchasing, manufacturing, and sales processes
- Keep track of regulatory compliance
- Process for a mock or real recall
