QuickTake Summary:

Born in the automobile industry and designed by manufacturing engineers, Plexus Systems, Inc.'s, SaaS service, Plexus Online, delivers next-generation ERP functionality in an easy-to-use, easily customized, integrated set of modules.

Unlike older generation ERP systems such as Oracle and SAP, which were built around accounting systems and which have problems, therefore, capturing shop floor information in a timely manner, Plexus Online starts with events on the shop floor and populates information up from there. Thus it works the way manufacturing companies work.

One of its chief features is complete traceability – if a defect turns up in a part or subsystem, Plexus Online can trace the defect back to its source, determine what lots are affected and then identify any finished products containing pieces from those lots and any remaining pieces from them in inventory, allowing the manufacturer to correct the problem. This is vital in high-precision, high-liability industries such as automotive and aero-space, where a defective part can be deadly.
