The event, Smart Transformation: The Strategic Role of ERP in Modern Manufacturing, was designed to spark deeper conversations around how technology is reshaping manufacturing workflows, from shop floor to CFO dashboards.
Opening the Floor: Smart Transformation in Focus
In the heart of Mumbai, Greytrix played host to a dynamic gathering of manufacturing professionals, ERP consultants, and industry leaders, in collaboration with Acumatica, the event Smart Transformation: The Strategic Role of ERP in Modern Manufacturing focused on how technology can solve evolving operational challenges for manufacturers and aiding their manufacturing businesses towards scalability and automation
With digitization accelerating across supply chains and shop floors, the event brought timely insights into how ERP platforms are evolving to meet these demands head-on.
Keynote by Shine Mathew: Cloud, Collaboration & the Future of ERP
Kicking off the session, Shine Mathew outlined how cloud-first ERP systems are transforming the way manufacturing teams collaborate, especially across geographies. He emphasized Acumatica’s ability to support remote teams, ensure data security, and enable mobility which is the key pillars for modern manufacturing environments.
He also introduced embedded integrations as a core strength of Acumatica, explaining how seamless connectivity across systems reduces data duplication and accelerates workflows across departments.
Manufacturing Edition Deep Dive: Core Features That Matter
