Application designer software takes manufacturing ERPs to new heights

 ·17 Oct 2024

No-code and low-code application designers have become increasingly popular tools in manufacturing ERPs, as they help manufacturers streamline key processes and increase employee productivity.

They are available in the best ERP systems – such as those offered by SYSPRO – and help businesses implement, update, and deploy applications rapidly.

Additionally, no-code and low-code application design systems don’t require extensive coding expertise to use – allowing employees to code important applications with minimal training.

We highlight the key benefits of choosing an ERP system with a built-in application designer, below.

Advantages of application designers

ERP systems with application designers allow you to build apps that digitally interconnect your operators, machines, and sensors.

The potential apps you can develop are diverse in nature, and include:

  • Custom user interfaces – Create customised dashboards and user interfaces that cater to different users’ roles and needs.
  • Custom workflows – Build workflows to automate complex business processes.
  • Custom e-commerce integrations – Create integrations that link your e-commerce site with your ERP system.
  • Custom forms and data entry screens – Create forms and screens when standard ERP forms are insufficient.
  • Employee self-service portals – Create a self-service portal that integrates with your ERP.
  • Third-party applications – Enable seamless data exchange and integration between applications and ERP systems.
  • User experiences – Enhance user experiences by identifying pain points in the current ERP system and redesigning elements accordingly.
  • Implement IoT and smart manufacturing solutions – Design applications that integrate IoT devices with your ERP system.
  • Automated compliance tools – Create tools that help your organisation comply with industry regulations.
  • Improved security – Improve data protection systems by creating role-based access controls.

SYSPRO Application Designer

The SYSPRO Application Designer offers all of the benefits listed above, while providing additional functionality specific to manufacturing businesses.

It supports improved user productivity, by allowing employees to create new interfaces for key manufacturing processes in minutes – such as interfaces that make it easier to storyboard prototypes for approval.

Program development and implementation with SYSPRO Application Designer is also simple to use, as a single test file can describe an entire app and be deployed to a target machine quickly.

Using the SYSPRO Application Designer comes with a guarantee that this tool is well-tested, too. In fact, it is used by SYSPRO’s own development team to build many of its standard applications.

Manufacturers needing a highly-scalable and flexible application designer should therefore look no further than the SYSPRO Application Designer.
