Extending Microsoft Dynamics GP Manufacturing: Six Add-Ons for Process and Industry Needs
Microsoft Dynamics GP's Manufacturing module is best known for its discrete manufacturing capabilities and does an admirable job of meeting the requirements of discrete manufacturers in mid-market to enterprise-level organizations. Although I've seen it used in process manufacturing industries such as food, cosmetics, and life sciences, application in these industries is not in playing to the Manufacturing module's strengths.
If you're a process manufacturer or a discrete-mode manufacturer using Dynamics GP with specific industry requirements, it is worth understanding how different 3rd party add-on manufacturing solutions can work with your GP solution to provide more value to your organization.
The list of solutions below, all of which integrate with Dynamics GP, is in no particular order and I have no preference for or relationships with any of the ISVs' (Independent Software Vendors) whose products are listed.
