Overall Satisfaction with M1

M1 is our primary ERP for our organization. We run all of our quotes, sales, manufacturing planning, purchasing, manufacturing execution, shipping, and all the associated accounting through M1. We do not use if for payroll, and we use a separate QMS and maintenance tracking system.
  • Open access DB makes it easy to customize the on-prem solution
  • Lots of built in data analysis and data retrieval that the average user can access
  • We use the 'lot tracking' ability for detailed material traceability
  • No alternate materials or operations concepts
  • Plant scheduling is hard to achieve in a dynamic manufacturing environment
  • There is no built in maintenance or quality systems
  • M1 has provided us with a single ERP that we are able to run multiple business units and a corporate parent.
  • By having a single ERP it allows easy access of information between business units.
Once you get used to it the interface is very straight forward. Very "Outlook like". I find it very intuitive to use the dashboards and grids to really understand what is happening inside my business.
The dashboard feature allows you to develop a custom snapshot of the business that can be customized for each individual user. Very helpful for each role inside your company.
We tried to implement Abas, complete failure. M1 works, period.
