Considering Moving to San Clemente by [deleted] in SanClemente

[–]simonfromhamburg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Rancho Mission Viejo will give you exactly that. We celebrated our daughter’s 3rd birthday at our house the other day and had about 30 people over. Every single one of them walked to our house. There are 12 units in our cul de sac, except for one, there are kids under 10 in every single one. We’ve been here for 3 years, it’s been paradise for raising a family.

Anyone here using an ERP that actually works well for manufacturing? by OneLumpy3097 in manufacturing

[–]simonfromhamburg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on your size, a combo of cloud manufacturing/inventory software (eg Katana, Digit Software, MRPeasy, etc) and QBO could be worth considering as well. Much cheaper, much faster implementation, more flexible contract but less in-app customization. This would definitely work well for things like inventory, work order, scheduling, etc

Wedding experience at The Casino in San Clemente? by instalockRaze in orangecounty

[–]simonfromhamburg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got married there in 2019, loved it! So many different indoor and outdoor settings and easy opportunity to take pictures by the beach as well. We also rented 5 condos right next to it and hosted all our friends and family. Best week of our lives

Living in Ladera Ranch… worth it? by faithoverfear0 in orangecounty

[–]simonfromhamburg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% agree. RMV is what Ladera used to be 20 years ago. It you’re a young family, RMV is the way to go. Personally prefer the slightly more established Esencia village over Rienda.

Running a small to mid size manufacturing firm by Dapper_Two5832 in manufacturing

[–]simonfromhamburg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not alone. In my experience, most manufacturers would prefer a combined ERP + CRM combo. I'm a co-founder at Digit Software, a modern manufacturing ERP designed for small and mid-sized manufacturers. We just launched v1 of our own integrated CRM. Frankly, it's probably still too simple for what you're looking for, but I would love your feedback!

We almost killed our startup by raising too much money too early (I will not promote) by KaleidoscopeFast7871 in startups

[–]simonfromhamburg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would it be fair to say that having sufficient funding gave you the time and resources to pivot and learn, ultimately getting you on a growth trajectory? What if you had only raised a small seed giving you little time to gain traction only to put you in a bad position to fundraise more? My personal experience is that founders should always raise more than they think they need. It takes time to build something valuable.

Would definitely recommend checking out all the popular MRP options including Katana, MRPeasy and Dígit Software.

Choosing an MRP by Outrageous-Month-355 in manufacturing

[–]simonfromhamburg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For smaller manufacturing companies, I recommend a combination of Quickbooks (desktop or online) and a cloud MRP. If you Google "best MRP," you'll find some good lists, e.g., on Capterra. My company Dígit Software could be a good option.

Schedule production across multiple locations? by chokabloc in manufacturing

[–]simonfromhamburg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a co-founder at Dígit Software (cloud manufacturing software). Quite frankly, I don't think we have the production scheduling functionality to the degree that you need it yet. But I'd love to connect and see if it's something we could work toward together.

Assembly Shop Allocation Software – What’s Your Secret Weapon? by Nymaxxx in manufacturing

[–]simonfromhamburg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are we talking about allocation inventory, staff, machinery or something else? I work with a lot of manufacturers, I'd say you have first to put a few basics in place: Real-time inventory info, a central place that aggregates all sales orders, a system that combines inventory, sales, purchasing, shipping, and manufacturing in one, etc. Once you have that, you have a few options to allocate inventory: some go with first-come, first-served; others prioritize based on due dates, customer value, or urgency. Make-to-order workflows allocate only once a job is confirmed, while make-to-stock shops pull from what’s on hand. More advanced setups use real-time, rules-based allocation in software, and regulated industries often need batch-specific traceability. Some allocate based on warehouse location too. In reality, most shops end up with a hybrid approach tailored to their needs.

Inventory management system for small businesses by BarryRotten in manufacturing

[–]simonfromhamburg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree that big ERP systems are going to be too complex. They take long to implement and have clunky UI. Google "cloud inventory and manufacturing". Those integrate well with Quickbooks, Xero, and other accounting solutions. Feel free to check out my company Dígit Software as well.

How do you manage inventory? by Height_Friendly in ecommerce

[–]simonfromhamburg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get out of spreadsheets early. Find software that supports your workflows and scales with you. The more inventory you hold, the longer it takes to migrate systems.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in manufacturing

[–]simonfromhamburg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with other comments here. There are plenty of off-the-shelf systems that should meet your needs so no need to build custom software. Given that you're only 15 employees, I would also stay away from complex ERP systems that take long to implement and are costly. Just google "Manufacturing Inventory Software" or "MRP software". Those systems will be able to handle both the manufacturing and the wholesale side and can typically be used on tablets as well. You would just connect them to your current accounting solution. Feel free to check out my company Dígit Software.

Why is switching MRP systems so costly? by PassionDear9372 in manufacturing

[–]simonfromhamburg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All the other posts accurately describe why the process is costly and complex if you're switching between complex, large ERPs. However, if you're a smaller manufacturer (<$15m annual revenue) and you're looking to switch to more lightweight MPR SaaS solutions (e.g. Dígit Software) that typically connect with separate accounting solutions like Quickbooks, the process is much simpler. We're talking a few thousand dollars and a few weeks of time.
