What benefits can I expect from using Xperdyte in my business?

Xyperdyte Manufacturing integrates seamlessly with Sage Evolution, consolidating the control of your manufacturing process and helping you stay on top of your business. This accounting software package also provides insight into every facet from material requirement planning to production scheduling, and streamlines every component of the manufacturing process. Xperdyte has been based on the principles of lean manufacturing, avoiding unnecessary waste and boosting profits.

Xperdyte Manufacturing assists in planning, tracking and recording your output on a daily basis. Downtime means output is compromised, which can lead to a loss of income, but this tool ensures you have adequate resources for every project, keeping the production process running smoothly and minimising downtime.

How does Xperdyte integrate with Sage Evolution?

Xperdyte integrates with Sage Evolution accounting software by extracting information from the Inventory and Bill Of Materials module, managing the calculations across the production process, before returning these finished items at various costing methods into Sage Evolution. If there are any variations between Standard and Actual, Xperdyte will post these differentiations into a manufacturing variance account.

What functions does Xperdyte perform?
