What it is
Cetec ERP is a web-based manufacturing system for managing work from quoting through accounting. Its tools cover CRM, purchasing, supply chain and inventory control, production tracking and scheduling, quality control, accounting, and financials. The company describes it as serving small and mid-sized manufacturers and distributors, including businesses in cable and wire harness, electronics, machine and job shops, medical devices and life sciences, industrial equipment, and aerospace and defense. The standard user subscription is $50/user/mo, with a five-user minimum. It includes all modules, standard reports, weekly backups, up to 1,000 API requests per month, and 2 GB of document storage per standard user. A 30-day free trial is available. Standard SaaS hosting runs on Google Cloud; ITAR-compliant hosting is offered through Microsoft Azure GovCloud, and customer-managed resident and air-gapped deployments are supported.
