Introducing “QAD Adaptive ERP”
What is QAD Adaptive ERP? And How Useful?
Manufacturers constantly deal with change. Customers’ needs vary on any business day. Suppliers’ and trading partners’ ability to source and deliver material is too often unpredictable, along with prices. New competitors appear, old competitors adapt. Compliance requirements are seemingly always in flux and tariffs and economic conditions fluctuate. New technologies promise to add value, but it is difficult to determine the right timing and level of investment to ensure a positive return.
Increasingly, manufacturers look to ERP to help deal with change, but that requires an ERP that extends and scales easily to support a rapid response to business and technology evolution — without sacrificing dependability and performance. At the same time, manufacturers want to simplify the experience of implementing, using and operating ERP regardless of the countries and languages in which they choose to do business.
