EFACS E/8 is a fully comprehensive and integrated software solution. It was developed back in the 1980’s where initially it was created as a tool for production planning. Since then, it has evolved with the manufacturing industry to become a fully comprehensive ERP solution which is widely used across the industry today. But why have companies in the manufacturing sector been making the switch to implement EFACS across their business? We will explain this in todays blog and highlight the main reasons why you should choose the EFACS E/8 ERP Solution in 2024.

EFACS E/8

As EFACS is a fully comprehensive ERP solution this means that when implemented, each department in an organisation can work together in unison under the one solution. As standard EFACS comes with a full accounts module, customer relationship module, stock control module, material requirements planning, hundreds of different reports and much more. This is a huge advantage for businesses as efficiency of day-to-day operations can increase and any remaining inefficiencies at the company can then be reported on.

EFACS also has been developed with a user-friendly interface in mind. This is especially useful for businesses that may not have prior experience in using an ERP system. Implementing an ERP system that is easy to use means that it is much simpler to get buy in from other team members. Do to how easy it is to use the software employees do not have to spend large amounts of time learning how it works. Yes, there is always a learning curve with new software, but with Profitsflows experienced team providing training users will be up and running in a timely manner. This often means that there is less time required to implement the software as well.

Another key reason why EFACS has been heavily used in the manufacturing sector is due to the continued development of the software. The solution is constantly updated with the latest technologies to ensure businesses can stay ahead of their competitors. Better still, existing users of EFACS can install these upgrades for free.

The EFACS E/8 Implementation Process

If companies are looking to implement an ERP solution in 2024 one of the key questions that comes up is what is the implementation process like? Well, when implementing EFACS we follow a simple 5 – step process to ensure each project is rolled out smoothly. The steps are as follows:

Step 1) Start-Up

The process begins with a planning meeting where the companies project team Leaders are identified. Profitsflow dedicates an experienced project manager for the entire duration of the project to liaise with this team. In this first initial phase, we will get a full understanding of what you want in your ERP system and set a Go-Live date which is when you want your system to be up and running.

Step 2) Training Workshops

Once we have a full understanding and grasp of what your system is going to be like we can begin the process of organising training workshops. Our ERP experts will work with you, department by department to train users, determine your data migration requirements and with your input, configure your ERP solution to your exact requirements.

Step 3) Consolidation

Once we have reached this stage your team will have a much better understanding on how to use the software effectively and we will have brought every part of your business into one fully integrated solution that is specifically tailored to you.

Step 4) Pilot

This is a crucial stage when implementing your new system that is completed approximately 6 weeks out from your Go-Live date. The Pilot stage will help uncover any anomalies in the system that can be addressed and fixed before Go-Live.

Step 5) Go-Live

The final data transfer is completed, and we work closely with you to address any user issues on the day. The system is then signed off as operational and you can now celebrate and enjoy using your new system.
