QAD : What Does ERP Enable? A Picture is Worth 1,000 Words

ERP Affects our Everyday Lives

Our customers make the products we use every day, from the moment we wake up in the morning and get ready for work to the drive home at the end of the day. With a scope that wide, you can imagine that each of these manufacturers have unique challenges and require unique solutions. If you take a look at the diagrams, you are able to see and better understand the scope of our customers' experiences.

For example, let's look at theAutomotiveindustry diagram, featuring the Bolt, Chevy's first long-range all-electric vehicle and 2017'sMotor TrendCar of the Year. We've identified 30 QAD customers that make parts specifically for the Bolt. They make everything from headlamp adjusters and rearview mirrors to the leather seats and floor mats. While the diagram only features QAD customers that made parts for the Bolt, we work with countless other automotive customers. As a matter of fact, eight out of 10 global automotive suppliers leverage QAD solutions, and50 of the top 100.

In both theConsumer ProductsandFood and Beveragediagrams, you can visualize yourself sitting in the living room with a cup of coffee or making breakfast for your family. Our customers make the snacks in your cabinets, the frozen food in your freezer and the furniture you are sitting on. As you can imagine, each of these products require unique manufacturing processes.

Now let's step outside the home and look around your yard. In ourHigh TechandIndustrialmanufacturing diagrams, you'll notice our customers' products are everywhere. If you have a pool, you can likely thank a QAD customer for the pool liner, water heater or filtration system. Our industrial and high tech customers manufacture everyday products that make our lives easier, more comfortable and more efficient.

Finally, ourLife Sciencesdiagram might be the most compelling. QAD customers save lives. Every day. It's true! We've taken some liberties in creating this diagram to illustrate the diversity of our customers in the life sciences industry. We've chosen an operating room and our patient is under the knife for multiple ailments including a retinal prosthesis implant, spinal implant and a potentially fatal heart surgery. It's amazing to see all of the products our customers make in this field.
