Precision Engineering ERP questions.
What does a precision engineering ERP typically cost in Singapore?+
A custom-scoped system covering quoting, job costing, and subcon coordination typically runs S$15,000-S$25,000 for a 10-week build. Off-the-shelf alternatives (SAP B1, Syspro) run S$80,000-S$250,000 with 6-18 month implementations.
Can a custom ERP handle customer-specific requirements?+
Yes — customer-specific pricing, tolerances, material specifications, and documentation requirements are modelled per customer. The system flags when a job deviates from the customer's specification before production starts.
How does the system handle subcontractor management?+
Subcon work orders are created from the production schedule, sent to the subcontractor (with optional portal access), tracked through completion, and costed against the job. No more WhatsApp follow-ups.
