Cetec ERP

Customer/Vendor Portals

Cetec ERP software supports the configuration of portal access for your customers/vendors to have direct access to order status, account information, part/build information, PO forecasts, part pricing, and more. Customer/vendor portals may be set up by setting up the account with a​“username” in Cetec ERP with the appropriate portal setting on the user profile so that their access is appropriately restricted to only display information pertinent to their account. Customers/vendors may log in to their portal account from anywhere in the world due to Cetec ERP’s modern cloud deployment.

Lot & Serial Traceability 

Capture lot/heat information upon receipt of material. Upload certification documents and/or packing slips to the purchase order receipt. Serialize raw material, serialize finished goods, print barcoded serial labels for products to store in inventory, and ultimately pick for orders. Cetec ERP achieves maximal product traceability with less effort and paperwork.

Supply/Demand Forecasting Module

• Material Requirements Planning (MRP) delivers suggested buy quantities based on supply/demand forecasting and ROP kanban levels.

Identify real-time shortages of material based on work order component and subassembly requirements.
• Automatic POs per material requirements supply/demand analysis (i.e., queued for approval and PO placement)
• Real-time material shortage reporting to identify work orders that will be​“short” or​“late” as of the Ship Date for that order (due to unavailability of components or subassemblies that comprise the top-level part for the order). Drill into why a work order will be late, given the current supply/demand forecast.
