Auburn Hills-based Plex Systems Inc., provider of the No. 1 rated ERP software for manufacturers, Tuesday announced that Plex Online supports open database connectivity for simplified data access. The enhancements make the software compatible with a range of standard reporting tools in widespread use.
The new feature enhances the robust reporting capabilities available within Plex Online. The system offers especially powerful native reporting functionality related to inventory tracking, production tracking, financials, and other areas.
With this new capability, users simply access business, production, financial and other data from their manufacturing operations through an ODBC connection, and combine the information with data from other sources as required to generate custom reports through third party reporting tools such as Crystal Reports, Business Objects, Cognos, Hyperion or MS Access.
Users benefit from an easy-to-use gateway to a production database which tracks critical manufacturing information such as machine downtime, inventory levels, production schedules and other areas. Users then build custom reports or leverage their existing reporting tools using a simple interface.
“This new feature lets Plex Online users access their manufacturing data in an easy, custom report using the same reporting tools that they’re using for other systems,” said Patrick Fetterman, Plex Systems vice president. "This enhancement enables manufacturers to combine data from multiple sources to create key performance metrics, and helps manufacturers operate efficiently and cost-effectively.”
