What is Role-Based ERP Software?
Our unique and innovative Aptean Industrial Manufacturing ERP software is a revolutionary application that’s assembled to the individual needs of each user.
Historically, ERP systems have been organized with a modular approach, in which functions are represented by modules (MRP, Inventory, MES, General Ledger, etc.). However, this required users to go in and out of various modules to accomplish a single task. In many systems, this also meant that the item must be re-entered into each module. This approach was slow, tedious and inefficient.
Aptean Industrial Manufacturing ERP changed all of this with its Role-Based WorkBenches.
WorkBenches are views that are configured to match each user’s role within the company. With Role-Based WorkBenches, workflow is configured for each user’s role and designed specifically for his or her job. Everything is available in one view so users don’t have to move in and out of applications. Everything they need to do is just a click away.
In this environment, our customers work smarter and faster – improving productivity and reducing costs.
Aptean Industrial Manufacturing ERP WorkWise Edition offers the following Role-Based WorkBenches:
Engineering Workbench
Our Engineering WorkBench allows engineers to design their workspace to easily maintain critical item, bill, routing and configuration data.
Financial Workbench
Gain complete control over every aspect of your cash flow – from expected shipments to credit and collections.
Manufacturing Workbench
The Manufacturing WorkBench (MWB) in Aptean Industrial Manufacturing ERP software can be utilized to plan and track all segments of inventory.
Customer Service Workbench
Get drill down access to the entire customer demand process, from quotation through shipment and invoicing.
Workbench Designer
Construct a single view that allows users to perform all job functions without having to switch from menu to menu.
The Original Role-Based ERP Software
One size does not fit all.
You can tailor Aptean Industrial Manufacturing ERP software to fit the exact needs of each and every individual in your company. With our Role-Based WorkBenches, you can assemble your own unique view in every application you need. Everything is available in one view, so you can share items of interest with multiple functions.

One of the main benefits we’ve experienced using WorkWise ERP is being able to get meaningful information we can use, versus getting data that requires more work to get the answers you’re looking for. The data is integrated and streamlined for efficient use which keeps our fixed costs lower and allows us to invest our capital into building better products.

It doesn’t take all day to do our schedule anymore. Also, the Performance Management WorkBench lets us see what information we want to see, and what time we want to see it, in a nice visual way. Item Planning is also great. It’s so easy to look up specific information related to whatever we need to see.

What’s really nice is having everything in one package. My financials are in the same package as manufacturing and customer orders. Everything integrates seamlessly. Bringing in inventory management has been a huge benefit for us. Being able to jump between workbenches and different points of data has been really nice.
