The highlights of version 9.30 include three new standard
modules. They are Customer Relationship Management (CRM) to
integrate prospect visibility and tracking through customer
orders and service, a new Nonconforming Materials (NCM) module
to integrate quality tracking through purchasing, shop floor and
inventory and a new Engineering Bill of Materials (E-BOM) to
provide item revision control, a BOM import and BOM posting to
jobs. These new modules are included in the standard product for
no additional charge.
Version 9.30 was released on December 1, 2005. Encompix
customers Automatic Systems, Inc., and Delta Technologies were
involved in the beta testing.
In addition, there are significant changes to many other areas
of the system including enhanced Job Costing, Contribution
Reporting, and Manufacturing Part processing and Serial
Traceability. Some newer features include Alternate Item
overrides, Project Reserved Inventory and Long Lead Item (LLI)
processing. The new Automated Clearing House (ACH) functionality
processes direct payments between banks in the United States.
The user-interface has been updated with a more modern look and
feel and the system provides a mechanism for adding custom
programs and external files onto the Encompix menu.
According to Thomas R. Cutler, spokesperson for the ETO
Institute (
www.etoinstitute.org), "Encompix continues to capture
significant marketshare in the ETO environment because few other
ERP vendors truly understand the nuances and significant
distinctions of the ETO process versus the repetitive
manufacturing process. Encompix now has more than 200 of the
leading ETO manufacturing firms in North America using their ERP
Software solution."
Encompix (
www.encompix.com) has filled the manufacturing
software requirements of Engineer-to-Order companies since 1992.
The company name reflects the commitment to developing business
application solutions that encompass the complex areas of
project-based and job-based manufacturing. Encompix provides ETO
manufacturers with a competitive advantage by improving bottom
line results.
