Roadmap Themes 2025

Improved Control of Internal Operations

As globalization continues and access to world markets becomes easier, manufacturing industries are under pressure to remain competitive and improve efficiencies while reducing costs, and being able to deliver their product anywhere in the world at short notice.

These expectations require improved internal controls throughout the manufacturing business. To support this, a number of capabilities are being developed to offer the manufacturing business the required level of internal control.

We have leveraged existing document services to seamlessly transform a purchase order into a fully digitalized sales order. This capability enables businesses to automate and streamline the entry process, converting purchase orders (in PDF or JPG format) into digital SYSPRO sales orders with minimal manual intervention.
