IT in Manufacturing
Arcflow has on offer a next-generation, AI-enabled ERP system purpose-built for SME manufacturing, distribution, and project management firms. This delivers the depth and functionality of an enterprise-grade ERP while remaining intuitive and simple for SMEs to adopt and use effectively. Arcflow goes beyond software. We aim to de-risk your digital adoption as an extension of your team. By taking the time to fully understand your workflows and operations, we ensure that your ERP system delivers the most meaningful benefits across your business.
Arcflow brings enterprise-grade ERP capabilities to SMEs, with a strong focus on automation and efficiency. The system streamlines manual processes, improves resource utilisation, and leverages AI-driven insights to enhance forecasting and decision making. The result is a robust, scalable ERP foundation that enables businesses to grow using their existing resources.
One of Arcflow’s key features is its AI-powered Warehouse Analysis, bringing intelligence and forecasting to procurement. The system uses historical data to suggest ordered items and respective quantities within a specific timeframe. The suggestions can be executed seamlessly through a Centralised Order Plan Engine, along with suggested optimal suppliers based on their KPI score.
This transforms procurement from a reactive and manual process into a predictive, data-driven and highly automated workflow, efficiently managing order suggestions, suppliers, RFQs and purchase orders.
The operational impact of the Warehouse Analysis and Centralised Order Plan Engine is best demonstrated through real-world results. According to Microcare Solar Energy, for example, using the Order Plan function as a single source for RFQs and POs has cut their procurement cycle time by up to two months in certain instances.
