Manufacturing Transformed: Highlights from the Acumatica Scalable Manufacturing Event
Dive into Smart Transformation, an Acumatica event for Manufacturers in Vitalizing their Businesses through Automated Acumatica ERP. Explore more with Greytrix.
- Chicago, IL (1888PressRelease) July 02, 2025 - Last week, Greytrix, in partnership with Acumatica and eWorkplace Apps, hosted an insightful event—“Smart Transformation: The Strategic Role of ERP in Modern Manufacturing”—at Fairfield by Marriott, Mumbai. The event brought together manufacturing professionals, ERP experts, and industry leaders to explore how technology is reshaping production processes, data management, and strategic planning across the manufacturing landscape.
Held in the heart of India’s financial capital, the event served as a powerful platform for dialogue and discovery around the role of modern ERP systems in enabling manufacturing scalability, efficiency, and agility. From the shop floor to the CFO dashboard, the day was packed with thought-provoking sessions, live demos, and engaging panel discussions that addressed the real-world challenges and innovations shaping the future of manufacturing.
Digitization Driving Modern Manufacturing
With rapid digitization transforming supply chains and manufacturing floors, ERP platforms are evolving to meet these demands with greater speed, flexibility, and intelligence. The event set the tone by emphasizing how cloud-first ERP systems are enabling smarter, data-driven decisions, improving team collaboration, and reducing operational bottlenecks across global manufacturing units.
Opening Remarks: Cloud ERP as a Catalyst for Change
Shine Mathew kicked off the event by highlighting how cloud-based ERP systems—particularly Acumatica—are breaking down traditional barriers in manufacturing. From enabling remote collaboration and secure data access to ensuring real-time visibility across departments, Shine illustrated how cloud ERP is becoming indispensable to modern manufacturers.
He focused on Acumatica’s robust embedded integrations, showcasing how seamless connectivity between systems can eliminate data silos, reduce duplication, and automate cross-functional workflows. These integrations, he noted, are a crucial differentiator that allows teams to stay agile and productive in today’s fast-paced market.
A Deep Dive into Acumatica Manufacturing Edition
The session moved into an in-depth overview of Acumatica Manufacturing Edition, where Shine detailed its core modules:
Bill of Materials (BOM) & Routing
Production Management
Inventory Control
Quality Management
Material Requirements Planning (MRP)
He explained how these features help manufacturers plan better, manage capacity more effectively, and reduce waste—critical components for businesses aiming to scale without losing control. With real-time data insights, teams can make faster, smarter decisions and align production with market demand.
The Importance of Role-Based Access
One of the more nuanced yet powerful features discussed was role-based access controls. Shine emphasized that many ERP implementations fail to maximize this function. By tailoring access to specific roles—be it for plant supervisors, finance leaders, or inventory teams—organizations can streamline operations, reduce errors, and enforce better accountability. Clean data access means clearer decision-making and a higher level of operational confidence.
Continuous Learning: Acumatica Open University
Shine also introduced the Acumatica Open University—a free, open-access learning portal for customers, partners, and users. With detailed documentation, interactive tutorials, and hands-on training, the platform enables companies to upskill their teams and drive ERP adoption across all levels. Continuous learning, he emphasized, is essential for maximizing ERP ROI and building a culture of tech-savviness in manufacturing.
Value-Added Solutions from eWorkplace Apps
The spotlight then shifted to Shailendra Sail, who introduced the value-added extensions from eWorkplace Apps. These purpose-built solutions are designed to complement Acumatica’s core features and cater specifically to manufacturing workflows. From compliance management and plant operation optimization to enhanced reporting tools, the apps expand what manufacturers can achieve with Acumatica.
Shailendra explained how eWorkplace solutions bridge functional gaps by delivering specialized manufacturing capabilities—allowing companies to fine-tune their operations from procurement all the way to delivery.
The Panel Discussion: Insights that Sparked Conversations
Moderated by Pooja Singh, the panel featured Shine Mathew, Shailendra Sail, and Jitendra Somani, who brought a mix of product, implementation, and industry expertise to the table. The conversation focused on:
Common ERP adoption challenges
Best practices for scaling manufacturing operations
Real-world examples of data-driven transformation
The panel underscored that transformation isn’t only about the tools—it’s about adoption, alignment, and strategic execution. The dialogue was rich with practical takeaways and reflected the diverse perspectives of ERP veterans and manufacturing leaders.
Driving Transformation Through Collaboration
For Greytrix, the event was about more than showcasing solutions. It was about building a community of innovators ready to challenge outdated practices and adopt smarter, more scalable systems. The discussions, networking, and questions from the audience revealed a clear appetite for change and a strong interest in digital transformation.
From insightful sessions to one-on-one interactions, the event highlighted that real transformation begins with meaningful conversations. And as the manufacturing landscape continues to evolve, Greytrix, along with Acumatica and eWorkplace Apps, remains committed to enabling that journey.
