Re: [U2] U2 Application / Solutions providers list? "PICK / U2 Hits"? Any "ERP Light" applications out there?FabMan
Hi Scott, We offer a our FabMan fabrication and manufacturing software package that can be installed for Build-to-Stock/Build-to-Order manufacturers, Job-Shops or Machine Shops, to provide any combination of functionality. It includes the basic business modules that you listed below (Sales Orders and Sales History, Inventory Control, AP / AR Financials ) plus modules for Estimating, Shop Floor Control, Finite Scheduling, Statistical Process Control, Tools Management, Payroll and EDI. These modules can be installed in any selection and combination you wish to provide the "other basic MFG type related applications" that you're looking for. We include all the source code in every installation so it can be easily customized. FabMan runs on most generic Pick databases and on Universe and QM. I'll be glad to discuss the features of FabMan, your client's specific needs and how we match up with those needs. I look forward to hearing from you, Dave Dave Taylor Sysmark Information Systems, Inc.

Norman, I don't know anything about Ohmart but Google brings up an Ohmart/Vega manufacturing co. in Cincinnati. I don't think OHM Systems has any connection to it but it's possible since I've heard that it was converted from Cobol way back when. OHM was called Mandata in the 70's or 80's. The president is Suresh Anbil. They have a number of modules for a range of manufacturing companies.

Scott, If you aren't aware of OHM systems, give them a look. I'm not sure I would call it "light" but that is for you to decide. http://www.ohmworld.com/ Yes, there was a "Pick hits" book, I just threw away a early 90's copy. I haven't seen anything like it for a long time. Maybe Spectrum could/should do one. I know of another package (not mine) that is available on a sort of "one of a kind" basis, contact me directly at donr_w...@yahoo.com if interested.

RE: [U2] U2 Application / Solutions providers list? "PICK / U2 Hits"? Any "ERP Light" applications out there?
I have to defend Epicor products. We run Avante, an Epicor product. I have been in manufacturing for 25 years as an end user of various ERP systems. I find our Epicor product to be superior to the other systems I have used. I am not an IT person, but I have assumed responsibility for maintaining our ERP system due to the needs of a small company and aptitude. I also have time to manage our quality system. You may have an opportunity to save your prospective employer a lot of money, by looking at their current Epicor product and solving a few root problems. I am not a programmer, but with help from the people in this group and Epicor tech support I have been able to cobble together enough SB+ and Unidata knowledge to develop custom features and keep the system up 100% of the time. If an Epicor product didn't fit the bill, I don't know how an 'ERP Light' application is going to solve the problem.

Check out DDI System. We are running a legacy 9.1 version of green screen software from them, but the current software they sell is nothing like our ~12-year-old customized Linux-based solution. I believe their current app is totally U2 objects or ODBC based and runs solely on Windows now. Adam Waller is the guy to talk to: www.ddisys.com.
