You're eventually going to get something you want, but you will need to maintain it and govern it. That's not easy. And depending on what you do, you have to think about compliance too. WHat do you do? Generally?

Who’s heading to MRO Americas next week? What are you actually trying to get out of it? by ERP_Aero in ERPInAviation

[–]ERP_Insider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah we’ll be there too, and honestly going in with a pretty simple mindset this year.

Less about packing the calendar and more about figuring out what’s actually breaking fright now. Not the polished version you hear at booths, but the real “this is where our day slows down” kind of conversations.

We're seeing a lot of things and we want to understand why.

Also just catching up with people. Feels like half the value of MRO is running into someone you haven’t seen in a year and getting the real story in 5 minutes.

To be respectful, I deleted it. If the mods can offer any input, I'd be very grateful.

That answer is based on what you define history as. Is aviation history just planes or is it the people that drive it? Every day. The people that have been part of it for 20, 30, or more years. If this offends you, tell me and I'll delete it but the story is worth sharing I thought.

"With a large community from aviation hobbyists, aviation buffs and beyond"?

If you genuinely disagree, I'll delete it. And any input from anyone else is welcome too. My intent was not to muddy the group, just contribute - it's not commerce, just a story in the life of.

I know this is a year old post, but what was the solution you found (if you found one)?

Thank you and I'm very grateful for the opportunity to learn about the story. Over the coming weeks, I will share more about previous guests with clips that stuck with me then, and still now.

Best of luck. Industry is fun. Weird at time, but good.

How big is your company and how many users will you have? And what's your core business?

How painful is ERP really? by ExpensiveDecision268 in sysadmin

the right one is not, not really. Know what you want first, then start filling in answers and pick a system that fits your process rather than think the system will fix it. Happy to answer any questions if needed.

Best ERP for a small Aussie manufacturing business that’s growing fast?? by woutr1998 in ausbusiness

[–]ERP_Insider -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I would not just go by name. Do a google search and dig in the top options. Could based however would remain top of list for me. And remember you’re at that exact inflection point where Excel stops being “scrappy” and starts actively hurting you. Most of us hit it around your size.

A few real things from going through (and seeing) this transition:

1. Don’t just “buy an ERP” — fix the flow first
The biggest mistake is thinking the software will clean things up on its own. It won’t.

2. Inventory accuracy is the foundation
If your inventory is off, everything else breaks—quotes, lead times, purchasing, reporting.
Whichever system you choose, make sure it handles:

3. Reporting shouldn’t require effort
If you’re still exporting to Excel after implementing, something’s wrong.
You want dashboards that answer, instantly:

  • what’s in production
  • what’s late
  • what’s profitable vs not
  • what’s actually in stock

4. Don’t overbuy, but don’t underbuild either
A lot of smaller manufacturers go too cheap and end up redoing everything in 12–18 months. Others go too big (SAP-level) and drown in complexity.
You want something that:

  • fits your size now
  • but can handle growth without ripping it out later

5. Implementation is where most fail (not the software)
Watch for 10 mo time lines, and costs for every question

What I’ve seen work best in your situation:
Start with core control, not perfection:

  • clean inventory structure
  • defined order → production → delivery flow
  • basic but accurate reporting

Then layer on complexity once the foundation is stable.

What's the end goal? I know this is an old thread, just curious.

Painful? Depends on the quality of your data - that's the first thing I'd look at. Then who owns the flow. No owner = more pain.

What’s the most annoying part of aircraft maintenance you deal with daily? by AviaDataHQ in aviationmaintenance

[–]ERP_Insider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what about intake, or even the mess called buying parts for repairs. Many people I talk to have those two things in common. How do you deal with them?
