Aptean Made2Manage ERP

Made2Manage (M2M) has been used as our company ERP for a number of years now. It's used by purchasing, engineering, production, and customer service as the main company database. Purchasing utilizes the PO functionality, engineering creates the new part numbers and bills of material (BOM) for our equipment, the production uses it for restocking parts and BOM information, and finally, customer service uses it for selling parts to customers and for technical support.

For parts sales, M2M is not a good program. There are too many glitches that happen between the sales order process and the shipping process. At the same time, we have to work with outside vendors to make certain functions work in the program. Or it has to work outside the program and communicate back to the main software. Way too clunky.

Made2Manage is being used across our company as our manufacturing ERP solution. It is used for time tracking, labor, GL/accounting, sales orders, quotes, COGS & inventory.

It does work if you have years of experience with it so you know how to make it work. I cannot recommend this software to anyone. I never thought much of it to begin with, but after using it for 10+ years, I have an even lower opinion of it.

We use M2M for every aspect of business at our company. Each department uses it for separate functions. Accounting, manufacturing, shipping, sales and customer service all utilize M2M on a daily basis. It is an integral part of what we do and our systems. It solves multiple needs for us across all platforms.

It is good in manufacturing. It helps with planning and scheduling. Also, employees can clock on and off jobs simply to see what each job actually entails in regards to time, quantity and dollars. Shipping and receiving also utilize multiple functions inside of M2M heavily. I think it is less suited for anything outside of manufacturing.

We used Made2Manage ERP in our daily business. It integrated customer information with RMA, sales, and parts transactions. It also allowed for detailed reports.

It worked well in production but needed some work in RMA management.

Made2Manage is being used across the whole organization including finance/accounting, purchasing, shipping, and production. We are a make to order manufacturing company so it allows us to track orders by creating jobs for the production process.

I believe Made2Manage is a good ERP for manufacturing companies.
