MRP Software FAQs

What is MRP Software?

MRP software, or Material Requirements Planning, is a manufacturing solution that helps companies track and calculate the types, quantities, and timing of materials needed to meet production plans and customer demand.

MRP software can help automate many manual and paper-based processes, such as purchase orders and quality assurance. This system also collects data from the shop floor, planning, and scheduling to give manufacturers a holistic view of their processes and make every part of their process more efficient. Accurate data helps manufacturers control their stock, purchasing, orders, and output.

What is the difference between MRP and ERP?

ERP is Enterprise Resource Planning software. It includes all of the functionality of MRP, but incorporates further data from sales, accounting, human resources, payroll, customer relationship management and more. MRP can be integrated with financial systems to create an ERP system. MRP is essentially a module of a larger ERP system.
