F61: Planning & Implementing Technology for the Job Shop!

Cut down on Weekly Process Meetings by Implementing Technology
Cloud computing has become more prevalent in our daily lives and the ability to access the internet nearly anywhere at any time has allowed for manufacturers to become more able to view real-time shop data across all departments. By utilizing cloud-based business systems, such as MES and ERPs, you can not only track where orders are in different phases of production, but also have full visibility of who worked on what. With this built-in visibility comes higher accountability of each staff member in turn leading to more autonomous decision-making. Join the presenter to find out how you can cut out the long weekly meetings that fill up the day with status reports and finger-pointing by utilizing internet-based and cloud applications for manufacturers.

The downside is, the ERP and CRM don’t often communicate with each other. This session will teach you how to plan a successful integration between HubSpot and your ERP system.
