Providing you with all the right elements
Turning raw materials such as oil, minerals, and gas into thousands of products, the chemical industry is central to the modern world economy. The UK chemical industry adds £15.2bn to our economy and employs 105,000 people while doing so*. Chemistry is a tricky business that takes lots of time, effort and focus. This combined with tight margins and global regulations often means a superior ERP solution is needed.
Manufacturing software from SYSPRO allows companies looking upstream and downstream in their value chain the ability to reduce costs and increase margins. This is achieved via fantastic data management for inventory, bill of materials, labour / scrap management and cost control tracking. All with tailored security measures to be as simple or finely tuned as you require. SYSPRO ERP meets and excels your business needs.
