Product Description  

 

ORION Process ERP-
Going beyond an Affordable, Full-featured ERP Solution for Process Manufacturing.


The ORION Enterprise for Process Manufacturing is a comprehensive, affordable, full-featured ERP solution for the industries such as food & beverage, chemical, pharmaceutical, consumer packaged goods, and biotechnology.

In process manufacturing, the challenges are complex and constant. Process manufacturing talks about ingredients, not parts; formulas, not bill of materials; and bulk, not units. You may think that we are simply mincing words and terminology. But, there is more than a subtle difference in their impact on manufacturing. Successful manufacturers are effectively and efficiently leveraging technology to respond to these challenges and to satisfy current demands while anticipating future requirements.

What we can do for you?
