New Enterprise Resource Planning from Sescoi

By DE Editors

Sescoi (Macon, France & West Midlands,  UK) released WorkPLAN Enterprise, an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system for custom manufacturers and companies that work on a project or engineer-to-order basis. A successor to the WorkPLAN industry solution,  WorkPLAN Enterprise offers functionality and tools to meet the specific requirements of the mold, die, tool, model, pattern, prototype, and special machine making industries.

WorkPLAN Enterprise brings quotation, purchasing, stock, planning, sales processing,  quality, time, and performance management into a single ERP system. The user-friendly interface is common for all modules and enables the integration of tasks, and elimination of duplicate data entry. The result is greater visibility across the whole manufacturing process, allowing companies to be more reactive and operate at optimum efficiency.

By completely re-engineering the original software and basing it on a MySQL database, Sescoi’s ERP system offers fast operation, reliability, and an open structure capable of linking with external systems. Microsoft Office products such as MS Excel, MS Word, and MS Project, CADCAM systems, accounting packages,  and other ERP systems can all interface with WorkPLAN Enterprise.

WorkPLAN Enterprise’s intuitive interface includes a centralized data tree, drag and drop capability, and uncluttered screens. The system includes an integrated CAD data analyzer and a direct interface to CAM software; the quality management module enables ISO compliance, monitors nonconformance, ensures traceability, and enables supplier evaluations.

Scheduling,  Gantt charts, and time management provide real-time shop-floor reporting,  throwing up alarms for deviations from delivery or cost targets. Business key performance indicators are also continually updated from live data held in WorkPLAN Enterprise.
