Ross ERP is built from the ground up for process manufacturers who rely on recipe or formula specifications to run their production. Beyond supporting financials, manufacturing and distribution, Ross ERP uniquely addresses process manufacturing concerns, such as quality, lot track and trace, safety, regulatory compliance, shelf life, by-products and co-products, multiple units of measure and conversions, and product costing—all with little or no customization.

With more than 100 documented "critical needs" in process manufacturing, Ross ERP enables customers to

increase profitability with accurate product costing (including by-products, co-products) and pricing and promotions management
protect brands with comprehensive quality, safety, and regulatory compliance functionality
scale up production with flexible multi-mode production processing and advanced yield analysis
optimize inventory and resource utilization with dynamic forecasting and scheduling
increase cash flow with integrated contracts and chargebacks management

Ross ERP offers the same functionality to small to midsized process manufacturers, whether the solution is purchased as an on-premise solution or subscribed to "In the Cloud," either in an SaaS or platform as a service (PaaS) environment.

Demand Planning and Advanced Scheduling
Business Intelligence (BI)
Contracts and Chargebacks
