About
Built by people who fix how businesses run.
Amplify ERP is made by Amplify, a business improvement consultancy that works across people, systems and technology. We spend our days inside growing businesses, finding what makes the work harder than it should be. In machine shops it was nearly always the same thing.
Why we built it
We did not set out to write an ERP.
-
Chapter 1
We kept meeting the same problem
An ERP nobody trusted, spreadsheets that had quietly become business-critical, and a plan that lived on a whiteboard. Good shops, held back by the tools round them.
-
Chapter 2
It started on a real shop floor
The first version was a capacity planner, built with an aerospace machining firm because nothing they had could tell them what was going to be late. It worked, so we kept going.
-
Chapter 3
Then it grew into the whole job
A plan is only as good as what feeds it, so quoting, orders, materials, quality, shop-floor capture and costing followed, each built the way the shop floor said it should work.
What that means for you
Software, and the people to make it stick.
Most ERP projects fail on the change, not the software. Because Amplify also does process, people and IT work, you can have as much or as little of that help as you need, from one firm.
Process before software
We map how the job really flows before anything is configured. Automating a bad process only gives you a faster bad process.
Your data, made ready
Customers, parts, routings and stock cleaned up and loaded with you, not handed back as a template to fill in.
Your people brought with you
Change only works when the people doing the job come too. We help with training, roles and adoption on the floor and in the office.
The IT under it
Tablets at the machines, Wi-Fi on the shop floor, Microsoft 365 and security, from the same people if you want it.
Commercial first
Every recommendation has to make commercial sense for a business your size, including the ones that involve us.
Use what already works
We do not replace systems, suppliers or people simply because we can. Your accounts package is the obvious example.
How we work
Understand the business first, build the answer second.
-
Step 1
Understand
Learn how the business works today and find where the friction really is.
-
Step 2
Design
Shape the answer round your objectives, your people and what you already have.
-
Step 3
Deliver
Bring the right expertise together and put the change in, properly.
-
Step 4
Grow
Measure what changed, and keep improving as the business does.
People. Systems. Progress.
