Our Process Manufacturing Assessment is an interactive decision-making tool designed specifically for manufacturers who produce goods through:

  • Chemical reactions or biological processes
  • Mixing, blending, or heating operations
  • Batch production rather than discrete assembly
  • Highly regulated industries requiring strict compliance

This specialized assessment helps manufacturers determine whether they need dedicated process manufacturing software or can manage with enhanced ERP functionality combined with real-time monitoring platforms like Shoplogix.

Who Should Use the Process Manufacturing Assessment Tool

This tool is designed for:

  • Automotive manufacturers dealing with coatings, adhesives, or chemical treatments
  • Food & beverage producers managing recipes, batch tracking, and FDA compliance
  • Packaging companies producing materials through extrusion or other continuous processes

How to Use the Process Manufacturing Assessment Tool

1. Check relevant criteria  

Review the 12 statements across three categories (Production Characteristics, Compliance Needs, and Operational Challenges) and select those that apply to your operations

2. Get your personalized recommendation  

Click “Evaluate My Needs” to receive one of three possible outcomes:

  • Specialized Software Needed (for complex batch processes with compliance requirements)
  • Hybrid Approach Recommended (combining Shoplogix with ERP enhancements)
  • Specialized Software Not Critical (maximize existing tools like Shoplogix)

Key Benefits of Completing the Assessment

  • Clarify your software needs: Understand whether you require specialized solutions or can enhance existing systems.
  • Identify compliance gaps: Discover potential regulatory risks in your current operations.
  • Avoid unnecessary expenses: Prevent investing in solutions that don’t match your operational reality.
