What is M1?

M1 is an ERP software available as a subscription in the cloud or as an on-premise solution, designed specifically for manufacturers to unify their business operations and centralize data within a single system. This platform facilitates the coordination and sharing of information across multiple business functions including sales, inventory management, scheduling, production, and shipping. Ideal for small to medium-sized manufacturers who operate with repetitive, make-to-stock, make-to-order, and engineer-to-order processes, M1 offers a robust product configurator that automates multi-level configurations derived from a BOM, encompassing all sub-assemblies. After using the configurator wizard, users can further refine their configurations by adding custom rules and formulas. In addition to these features, M1 includes MRP, BAM, complimentary "view only" licenses for users who need report access without editing capabilities, and "Smart Screen Technology" that intuitively adjusts screens based on user inputs. Furthermore, the M1 Design Studio allows for system customization without delving into the source code or needing advanced programming skills. With M1, users also benefit from integrations with unique tools like Alora Machine Intelligence, Avalara, uniPoint, KnowledgeSync, and Net1, enhancing the overall functionality and adaptability of the software. This comprehensive suite of features positions M1 as a versatile solution for manufacturers looking to optimize their operations.
