System Overview:

The system creates an Intranet for your internal use and an Extranet for your customers? use, with differing access for each. You control levels of access through simple password protocols and security settings in the myWebMaster system maintenance section.

eManex is web based. With access to an internet connection you will get real time information. You can log in and get real time updates wherever you are and whenever you like.

eManex combines all the important functions from among today's most advanced and effective types of business software: CRM, business intelligence, SFA, Product Document Management, Automated Customer Service, MES, Collaboration & Workflow, and ISO/QS 9000 Quality Management. The result is a very affordable and effective system that makes running your manufacturing process easier, more cost effective, and more profitable.

By making use of the Microsoft .NET technology, eManex is able to combine the powerful functionality of these other systems into an easy to use application that lets you leverage the convenience and speed of the Internet. Continuous improvement and new functions will ensure your company always has the latest and best manufacturing software technology.

eManex is intended for the non-technical business person. No IT or Accounting expertise is required.

Navigation is conducted through simple and familiar dropdown menus and point-and-click choices.

Specialized features make eManex the ideal system for Electronic Contract, Design-to-Order and Cable and Harness Manufacturers. And you can bet that if a software system meets the rigorous requirements of this unique industry niche, it will also fill the needs of most all other manufacturers. For CM's, who build other companies' products, the process of manufacturing is their product. Theirs is a time-compressed world that exaggerates many of the customer service, production, and quality issues manufacturers typically face. eManex meets this challenge with new specialized software tools.

Regardless of the type of manufacturing your company does, the eManex system provides the tangible, easy-to-use solutions you need to run your business with optimal efficiency. If you have an accounting or ERP system, this truly is the only other manufacturing software you'll ever need.

eManex History : When we first set out to design eManex in late 1999, we took a long look at the needs of small and midsize manufacturers, particularly contract manufacturers. We then examined many of the powerful new software applications developed in recent years that were intended mostly for larger companies. These included business intelligence, CRM, sales force automation, product document management, eProduction, automated customer service, and ISO/QS 9000 quality management. We found that each of these types of software provided tremendous new solutions that could significantly benefit small and midsize manufacturers. But they were generally far too expensive and complex for the needs and budgets of small and midsize companies. In part this was because such systems are designed to accommodate such a wide variety of different types of companies and so had to include all the functions all of these different companies might need. They also had to be built with the complex technology required for integrating the multiple operating platforms, numerous locations, and wide variety of types of software that large companies typically employ.

In other words, these software applications provide a great deal of functionality and complexity that small and midsize manufacturers simply don't need and will never use. Yet to get the functionality they required, small and midsize manufacturers would have to pay for the whole package for each of these different and expensive systems---which obviously isn't realistic.

The solution to this Catch-22 soon became obvious to us: we would design a system that takes those only those capabilities that small and midsize manufacturers need from these other complex applications and forget about all the redundant bells and whistles and big-company complexity.

With this end in mind, in 1999 we set about designing a new software application. Right from the start we knew that the Internet offered the best means to deliver the tools we wanted to provide our customers. We were well into the project when Microsoft introduced their .NET technology. It didn't take us long to realize that this provided the perfect platform we needed to create the simple-to-use yet powerful functionality we were after. 1-degree of separation was definitely for us!

The end result is a powerful yet easy to use new system that fits the specific needs of small and midsize manufacturers, offered at a very affordable price.
