ERP vs MRP? Most manufacturers already rely on these systems to plan production, manage resources and track inventory. But planning is only half the picture. Real efficiency happens when those systems connect directly to the people and processes doing the work.
That’s where WorkfloPlus bridges the gap between planning and execution.
ERP vs MRP: What’s the Difference?
ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) and MRP (Material Requirements Planning) are often used together, but they serve different purposes.
- ERP manages company-wide processes, including finance, procurement, HR, and supply chain operations.
- MRP focuses on production scheduling, material usage, and stock control to ensure resources are available when needed.
Both are essential for keeping operations running smoothly. However, neither captures the full picture of what actually happens on the factory floor or in the field.
The Missing Link: Connecting Planning to Real-World Execution
ERP and MRP systems depend on accurate, timely data from daily operations. Yet, much of that data still relies on manual entry or disconnected spreadsheets. This creates a gap between what was planned and what really happened.
WorkfloPlus closes that gap by capturing real-time operational data directly from the frontline. Whether your teams are completing inspections, maintenance checks or training, every step is automatically recorded and linked back to your ERP or MRP system.
