Plex offers several options for Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) to ensure that ERP and business data is accessible to other programs. Interfaces include a variety of endpoints including customer orders, customer shipping, and just-in-sequence parts delivery that ensure the customer can identify the best API to suit their business needs. Utilization of these APIs saves time, money, and effort since the development and integration work is already done for you.

Integration Flexibility

Improve the overall functionality of your ERP business applications by extending their reach throughout the organization into quoting, fulfillment, and shipping APIs that are developed specifically by designated partners. The developer portal is also available for creating unique APIs driven by your company’s business demands and geared toward your future goals.

Increased ROI

Maximize flexibility by using the best-fit API solutions for increased ROI of your existing capital IT investments. Remove the boundaries from your capital expenditures and explore new functionality for your business in the ever-changing customizable landscape of technology.

Leverage

Leverage specific functionality of unique applications from setting up shop on an e-commerce platform to finding the best rate for an already planned shipment. Reduce fulfillment costs by expanding the value of Plex to other systems or community-built applications through APIs to the core Plex applications.

Two-Tier ERP and MES Benefits

Product quality is the price of entry to comply with consumer demands and regulatory requirements in today’s global markets. As products and processes become more complex, continuous efforts to reduce cost, increase transparency, and support stringent compliance demands, make it more challenging to maintain high quality. Though initiated by the automotive industry, today’s advanced quality methodologies are quickly gaining adoption in other industries.

Enhanced Quality Management

Improve your overall performance,
reduce the cost of quality, and
mitigate the risk of recalls by
making quality management
a real-time, proactive process
that is integral to your ERP
and Manufacturing Execution
systems. As an active member
of the Automotive Industry Action
Group (AIAG), Plex follows the
guidelines of this industry leading
organization.

Standards Compliance

Quality control plans and
compliance documentation
are embedded in Plex to help
you achieve and retain quality
certifications important in your
industry (ISO, TS, QS). You can
provide your customers with
best-in-class quality certification
and provide auditors with instant
access to proof of compliance so
their audits take hours instead of
days.

Supplier Quality

Supplier scorecards managed

end-to-end visibility of your entire
supply chain. Your Plex-enabled

out checksheets in your system
to automatically validate quality
in real time before materials get
