editor's note: Now an Aptean product, confirm current roadmap and support commitments, as Aptean's portfolio brands vary in investment level.
Long-established job shop ERP with a loyal installed base in custom and mixed-mode manufacturing. Now owned by Aptean. Strong quoting, job costing, and shop floor tracking for make-to-order environments. The Windows-heritage architecture shows age but Aptean has invested in cloud delivery.
