Ross ERP is in multiple areas of our company. From accounting, finance, inventory management and manufacturing. It is a critical application throughout the organization due to the involvement of so many areas. It solves short dated ingredients, material handling and our MRP for the procurement departments. I am not a everyday user of Ross but when I need a data set it is easy to find.
  • Management short-dated ingredients FIFO.
  • Ease of pulling past production material handling information.
  • Managing of inventory needs MRP.
  • More cross functionality with Factory MES.
  • Ease with material issue.
Inventory management for a fast paced company. Report writing for almost every area utilized with easy to access / drill down menus. Material handling on the production floor.

  • Ross was implement over 14 years ago for us and that is when I started. I know Ross was a blessing to our company at the time of implementation.
Ross by and far has the most features and support for what is out there. Where most ERP systems everything is add ons, Ross builds those for the most part directly into their applications
