ECi M1 ERP v8.0 enhances manufacturing business intelligence

Features that help discrete manufacturers to streamline operations are among enhancements to eCommerce Industries ECi M1 ERP solution, now at v8.0.

"With new dashboards and business intelligence tools, ECi M1 equips managers to make more informed business decisions," states says Daniel Noonan, managing director of ECi M1. Noonan says that the new system enhancements are meant to help manufacturers "reduce operating costs and delivery cycles." He says, for example, that the business intelligence dashboards are now even more intuitive, with easy integration giving users better insight into manufacturing performance, as well as customer buying habits. He also points to the addition of Google Maps, which allows users to see the distribution of sales by location. And he cites ECi M1 v8.0's new Design Studio wizards, which, he says, make it easier to design and deliver customised products to meet demand.
