Overall Satisfaction with Encompix ERP
Once we win a project, Encompix is used by our Accounting, Engineering, Materials and Manufacturing teams. Accounting use it to track the billing milestones. Engineering team will add the job structure and the bill of materials to the system. Purchasing team uses for all material purchases, receipts and returns.Manufacturing team uses for monitoring the material status.
- Materials or purchasing module is good
- Accounting and milestone payments are easy to use
- Purchases are very detailed, and we can see when any line item has been ordered or received
- Scheduling module - we had initially expected this ERP system to handle the scheduling part for us, but it is not easy to do customization to the extent needed for us.
- Technical or the implementation team support can be improved, as it is not up to the standard.
- Not well suited for Engineer to Order / custom product manufacturing companies.
- We had to spend lot of time and effort in making it work for our company.
- Scheduling still needs to be fixed, we are trying beta version of the system now.
Materials module in Encompix ERP is more robust over the Abas ERP. We had previously used Abas before Encompix, and the reports are more robust in Encompix, and custom reports were possible. Bill of Materials can be uploaded in Encompix, unlike Abas. Item Masters feature was available. Vendor cross reference and performance tracking are some good features as well.
