QAD Adaptive ERP Reviews and Ratings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our company's ERP system is QAD Adaptive ERP. Everything from part number, supplier information and work order goes through QAD Adaptive ERP.

QAD Adaptive ERP is very useful, especially for a contract manufacturer company because it's fairly easy to use.

Likelihood to Recommend

I think QAD Adaptive ERP is well suited for a company with many locations such as ours. I can view which part was purchased and which location it was shipped to.

QAD Adaptive ERP can be less appropraite for smaller companies that don't have as much information.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

The organization used QAD as an ERP system to manage the inventory of components, current builds, and finished goods. We also used it to track current orders of raw materials and field inventory. We also used it to track cost of product and scrap costs for the finance department. It was used across the operations part of the business (supply chain, manufacturing, and sales). The business problems that QAD addresses are inventory management, costs held up in inventory (from raw components to finished goods), supplier management, and financial management. I personally used QAD to manage manufacturing scrap rates and tackled high costs operations where we had high-cost scraps.

<div>If you're setting up operations where you have to manage manufacturing builds from raw components to finished goods, I would recommend QAD. It's nice to have subassemblies part numbers for your builds and enter in the number of accepted quantities and rejects. QAD is very helpful if you have a lot of parts floating around. I would not buy QAD if you only have to manage less than ~20 parts... just use Excel.</div><div>

The strong points about QAD is it is easy to manage, reliable, offers good transaction traceability, has a good compliance model.

Likelihood to Recommend

Suited very well for small to medium sized organizations as it provides you everything you can expect from an ERP (without any fancy bells and whistles that SAP and some of the other ERPs provide).

Works well with a lean IT organization, as the configuration and ongoing maintenance and/or analysis is pretty straightforward.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

QAD is used across the whole company, and QAD as any ERP when you do the correct setup will give you the tools to manage the range full company data, It helps a lot with centralizing AP &amp; AR, and its easy to follow up with the automotive standards EDI, cumulative orders, etc. The problems appear when you don't make a correct setup it could become painful just as with any ERP.

Likelihood to Recommend

The full product overall is better that expected, it is easy to use and it helps the company to handle different locations, control inventory, cost and requirements this provide the needed data on all the time, but when something goes odd, the help desk is behind the sale.
