Having a system track inventory and what stage it is in has been incredibly helpful. It also has helped our team have a more clear delineation of the order of operations for each product in our catalog.”

Assembly manufacturing software FAQs
In simple terms, assembly manufacturing software is a computer application. It helps manufacturers manage and monitor the production process of their products. Assembly line operators use it for assembly planning and to make products correctly while keeping track of quality control.
A manufacturing ERP – acronym for Enterprise Resource Planning – is software that helps businesses manage and streamline their manufacturing processes. ERP system gives users a live visual look at all their business components — inventory management, order management, sales, and beyond.
Simply put, you can do significantly more with an enterprise resource planning system besides controlling your assembly lines and managing production. ERP software commonly has more features for inventory or warehouse management, and with the aid of intelligent integrations, you can significantly upgrade several processes, such as your manufacturing accounting.
Above all, ERP software helps businesses lose the siloed data as they can finally manage all departments from a single software solution, no matter the company size.
Assembly lines enable firms to mass produce products swiftly and more efficiently. Kitting involves bundling two or more similar items to create one ready-to-ship kit. Those bundles are usually sold as a single item. Also, unlike pre-assembled products, the end consumer usually assembles the items in kits by themselves.
Be prepared that even if those two words have slightly different meanings in manufacturing, some people still prefer using kitting and assembly interchangeably.
Bill of materials (BOM) software is designed for managing the bill of materials for every product. This can include tracking inventory levels, managing vendor relationships, and creating accurate production schedules.
ERP software goes beyond this to provide a complete view of your business operations and ERPs also come with BOM software features. Besides managing your bills, it tracks financial data, customer information, and monitors your supply chain data. ERP gives you a more complete picture of your business.
