Flexible job structures that match the project
Congratulations! You won the bid. Now the challenge of executing a profitable project lies ahead. Whether you're an engineer-to-order, make-to-order, custom or project-based manufacturing operation or custom manufacturer, Encompix ERP software will help you effectively structure your projects and jobs. By organizing the required work into groups of tasks, and scheduling your resources more efficiently, you'll have visibility into the project progress and costs at multiple levels.

Encompix ERP offers a job structure as flexible and varied as your projects. More importantly, Encompix provides visibility to the total project's actual cost on a job-by-job and/or total project basis.

A scheduling solution for every level of complexity
Many custom manufacturers purchase materials as needed. This reduces the need for material planning, but increases the demand for effective resource and capacity scheduling. Encompix ERP software better matches changing production and customer requirements by providing better visibility to orders, capacity and bottleneck resources.

Designed for and by ETO engineers, Encompix ERP is a natural fit for your specialized operation. Within the core suite, simplified scheduling is available on a first come, first scheduled basis, either backward by due date, or, forward by start date, and in either infinite or finite mode.

With the addition of the Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS) module, true finite scheduling is available using simulation rules based on user-defined conditions. Any rescheduling results in performance metrics and a customer order scorecard to analyze the effect and determine the "best" schedule.

Encompix ERP Software, a perfect fit with Microsoft Project®
To track projects, many Encompix customers’ use Microsoft Project® to setup their initial structure and measure progress. Microsoft Project is integrated with the core Encompix ERP system allowing the creation of routings directly from the MS Project plan. Production updates recorded in Encompix are posted back into MS Project ensuring that plans are always synchronized. Many organizations use MS Project as the vehicle to communicate the progress of the project with their customers
