Manufacturing Software System E-Z-MRP Announces New Pricing and Product Structure

Written by Rocky Smolin


E-Z-MRP,repparttar leading manufacturing software system for small manufacturers, announces that a new pricing and product structure is in effect as of April 15.

According to Rocky Smolin, founder of Beach Access Software, makers of E-Z-MRP, “We see a distinction between those small manufacturers with less than five hundred parts in material resource planning, and those with a need for unlimited part numbers.”

Smolin noted that some manufacturers will start withrepparttar 136071 under 500 parts version of E-Z-MRP, priced at $2,995, and grow intorepparttar 136072 new unlimited version, priced at $9,800. Beach Access Software creditsrepparttar 136073 $2,995 for customers who later choose to upgrade. Other small manufacturers who presently have more than five hundred part will start right away withrepparttar 136074 E-Z-MRP Unlimited version.

To accommodaterepparttar 136075 new pricing structure, E-Z-MRP offers a leasing program that ensures a rapid Return-on-Investment.

*Lease E-Z-MRP with two full years of support for just $169.96 per month. *Lease E-Z-MRP Unlimited with two full years of support for just $495.00 per month.

Small manufacturers with more than one hundred parts can no longer managerepparttar 136076 manufacturing process on an Excel spreadsheet. Since more than 84 percent of all manufacturers have less than 50 employees, there is a remarkable opportunity for cost-effective manufacturing systems like E-Z-MRP. Despiterepparttar 136077 extensive media coverage regarding ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), in most cases these small manufacturers do not require allrepparttar 136078 functionality offered, nor can many affordrepparttar 136079 price point.
