Manufacturing ERP Australia Discrete, Process & MTO Systems
Manufacturing ERP for Australian discrete, process and make-to-order factories.
Manufacturing ERP Australia is about connecting the shop floor to the general ledger. SyncBricks helps Australian manufacturers — discrete, process and make-to-order — select and implement ERP software for the manufacturing industry. BOMs, routings, MRP, shop floor control, quality and traceability, integrated to Xero, MYOB and ecommerce, delivered vendor-agnostically from Melbourne.
Common manufacturing ERP pain points
- Bills of materials and routings managed in Excel
- MRP runs weekly, so purchasing is reactive and stockouts are normal
- Shop floor data entered by hand at end of shift
- Batch and lot traceability takes hours to reconstruct when needed
- Standard costs haven't been reviewed in years
- Finished goods inventory and ecommerce stock don't match

FAQ — Manufacturing ERP
What is the best manufacturing ERP for Australian mid-market?
For discrete manufacturers we most often shortlist MS Dynamics 365 Business Central, SAP Business One and NetSuite. For process manufacturers Epicor Kinetic and Infor are common. We score candidates against your BOM complexity, batch/lot needs and integration footprint before recommending.
Can you handle process manufacturing ERP software requirements?
Yes. Process manufacturing needs recipes, yield variability, co-products/by-products and regulatory traceability — we configure these in systems like Infor, SAP Business One or specialist process modules, not off-the-shelf discrete ERPs.
Do you integrate manufacturing ERP with Shopify or WooCommerce?
Yes. We build two-way stock, order and fulfilment sync between the ERP and your ecommerce stack, including 3PL handoff where relevant.
How do you handle shop floor data without expensive MES?
For most mid-market manufacturers we use tablet/barcode interfaces on the ERP's native shop floor module, plus lightweight IoT where valuable. Full MES is only recommended when throughput and OEE demands genuinely justify it.
