E-Max ERP

E-Max ERP is a cloud-based ERP developed by E‑Max Systems for small to mid-sized manufacturing businesses.

 It is generally suited to organisations that want a manufacturing-specific ERP from a specialist provider, rather than a large, multi-industry enterprise platform.

The system focuses on helping manufacturers manage core operational processes like production planning, inventory control, and job costing.

Its structure reflects the day-to-day realities of discrete manufacturing, where visibility across jobs, materials, and costs directly affects delivery performance and margins. Companies that operate make-to-order or engineer-to-order workflows are a common fit.

E-Max ERP allows users to access the system remotely without managing on-premise infrastructure. This can be relevant for manufacturers with multiple sites or managers who need operational insight away from the shop floor.

Core capabilities:

• Production management: Supports work orders, routing, scheduling, and shop floor visibility to help teams track progress and bottlenecks.
• Inventory and materials control: Helps manufacturers manage stock levels, purchasing, and material availability in line with production demand.
• Job costing and estimating: Links labour, materials, and overheads to individual jobs, enabling more accurate cost tracking and quoting.
• Sales and order management: Connects customer orders to production and inventory, reducing manual hand-offs between departments.
• Financial integration: Provides accounting and reporting tools aligned with manufacturing operations, rather than standalone finance modules.

Implementation and usability

E-Max ERP is generally implemented with support from the vendor, with configuration tailored to the customer’s manufacturing processes.

The system places emphasis on structured workflows rather than extensive customisation, which may appeal to businesses looking for defined processes over highly bespoke development.

User feedback often highlights the importance of initial setup and training, particularly for teams transitioning from spreadsheets or legacy systems.
