Send us Fan Mail Configure-to-order manufacturing has unique ERP requirements because product configuration sits directly between the sales and production processes. Unlike make-to-stock, make-to-order, or engineer-to-order environments, CTO manufacturers rely on configurators to translate customer requirements into products that can actually be manufactured. These configurators may be used internally by sales teams or exposed directly to customers, but the resulting configurations must ultim...

2026/09/16

Send us Fan Mail Most ERP systems are effective at generating dashboards, alerts, exception reports, and operational signals, but they often stop short of helping organizations execute the required response. This creates a persistent gap between identifying an issue and taking action, resulting in operational latency across planning, approvals, and execution. To answer these questions, we examine how Taco, Inc. addressed this challenge using data from Epicor ERP and explore the limitations of...

2026/09/14

Send us Fan Mail Engineer-to-order manufacturing creates some of the most complex ERP requirements because engineering is deeply embedded in the order lifecycle rather than completed before production begins. Products are typically highly customized, high value, and associated with longer sales and delivery cycles. Even after an order is won, engineering changes may continue while procurement, production, costing, and project activities are already underway. As a result, ETO manufacturers nee...

2026/09/09

Send us Fan Mail ERP implementations rarely fail because of limitations in core functionality. Instead, they tend to break down in the final stages, where industry-specific workflows, company-specific processes, and complex edge cases drive extensive customization that can cost several times more than the ERP platform itself. This last mile is often where organizations lose control of project scope, budgets, and implementation timelines. AI-native ERP strategies are beginning to change this d...
