Wired for Success
ERP for the electrical industry
The control center for your processes
What our ERP system offers the electrical industry
In hardly any other industry is there so much on the table at the same time: products are manufactured to customer specifications, the number of variants is increasing, delivery deadlines are tight and technology is developing faster than it can be documented. Those who don’t lose track here have good processes – or a system that reliably guides them through the daily routine. Because only those who remain flexible can be sustainably successful in this field of tension.
APplus ensures that production, development, logistics and sales do not run side by side, but interlock. Instead of jumping between systems, you can access a central platform. Parts lists, product configuration, serial numbers, service cases: Everything where it belongs. And if something changes, everyone who needs to know will know. Without detours, without data chaos.

Warehouse optimization
Better control of material flows
Printed circuit boards, small batches, special components – in the electrical industry, stock levels have to be right or production will grind to a halt. APplus helps you to plan your stock levels with foresight. Consumption, demand and delivery times are automatically analyzed so that you can avoid bottlenecks and reduce excess stock at the same time. Serial numbers and batches can also be clearly tracked.
Your advantages:
- Optimized inventories through automated determination of requirements
- Lower storage costs with stable material availability
- Better planning security for purchasing and production
Sales and production planning
Better planning, reliable delivery
In the electrical industry, complex processes meet tight deadlines. With APplus, you can plan sales and production in a coordinated manner instead of just reacting on demand. Demand, capacities and material availability flow directly into the planning. The result: stable production planning, reliable delivery dates and fewer unnecessary rush actions.
Your advantages:
- Planning reliability thanks to coordinated demand and production data
- Flexible control in the event of quantity or deadline changes
- Stable processes despite a high number of variants
MES integration
Live data from production
When every second counts, real time is crucial. Production data flows directly back into the ERP via the MES connection in APplus. Order progress, machine statuses or feedback on rejects and good parts are available immediately. They form the basis for fast, well-founded decisions. Thanks to the close integration of planning and production, you can react faster, control in a more targeted manner and recognize early on where processes are out of sync.
Your advantages:
- Direct feedback from production to ERP
- More transparency about order status and machine utilization
- Faster response in the event of faults or deviations

CAD/PLM integration
Connection instead of double care
There must be no information gap between design and production. With CAD/PLM integration in APplus, both areas work on the same database. Parts lists, changes and drawings flow automatically into the ERP and are available where they are needed. This avoids duplicate maintenance, speeds up processes and ensures the consistency of your technical data.
Your advantages:
- Direct transfer of design data to the ERP
- Fewer manual steps and reduced risk of errors
- Standardized database for development, purchasing and production
Document management
Storage with a system
Technical projects generate new documents every day, such as design drawings, test reports, parts lists and e-mails. With the integrated document management system from APplus, you don’t store them just anywhere, but directly where they are needed. All documents can be assigned to processes, orders or projects and can be found at any time. This reduces search times and creates security for audits or customer inquiries.
Your advantages:
- Central storage with direct reference to ERP processes
- Easy to find thanks to intelligent keywording
- Better collaboration through clearly regulated access
Service management
Efficiently manage customer inquiries
Products with technical requirements often need reliable service even after delivery. APplus helps you to organize your service calls clearly. Messages, service details and customer information are recorded centrally and can be called up at any time. Repairs and maintenance can be clearly structured. Your customers benefit from reliable support that they can rely on in an emergency.
Your advantages:
- Central recording and management of all service processes
- Clear process management from initial contact to invoicing
- Improved response times and higher customer satisfaction

FAQs on ERP for the electrical industry
What are the benefits of an ERP system, especially in the electrical industry?
In the electrical industry, product diversity, short development cycles and adherence to deadlines are part of everyday life. An ERP system helps to master this complexity by bringing together information from design, production, purchasing and sales in one system and controlling processes consistently.
How does APplus support companies in the electrical industry with variant diversity?
The product configuration integrated in the ERP system makes it possible to map individual characteristics quickly and error-free, generate parts lists automatically and trigger all subsequent processes cleanly. This keeps the variety of variants manageable and economical at the same time.
Does APplus offer a connection to existing CAD or PLM systems?
Yes, our ERP can be easily linked to CAD and PLM systems. This means that design data is automatically transferred to the ERP and is directly available for production, purchasing or service.
How can manufacturing processes be monitored with APplus?
Thanks to the connection to MES systems, feedback from production flows directly into the ERP. All order progress and deviations are therefore available live so that you can intervene immediately if necessary.
Does APplus also support serial number or batch tracking?
Yes, serial and batch numbers can be tracked seamlessly across all process stages – from goods receipt to production and delivery.
How does APplus support the traceability of products?
All relevant information such as batches, serial numbers and tests are fully documented in the system. This allows you to trace which components have been installed in which product at any time. An important basis for product safety, complaint processing and audits.
Can APplus be connected to existing webshops or platforms?
Yes, APplus offers standardized interfaces for webshops, marketplaces and e-procurement platforms. Orders, customer and item data are automatically synchronized so that sales, warehouse and order processing work together efficiently.
How do purchasing and scheduling in the electrical industry benefit from APplus?
Automated order proposals, an up-to-date view of stock and requirements and a central supplier evaluation allow you to make well-founded purchasing decisions. Dispositions can be flexibly adapted, even in the event of short-term changes to quantities or deadlines.
Is APplus also suitable for companies with a high proportion of projects?
Yes, APplus supports both classic series production and project-oriented processes. Quotations, costing, production and service can be mapped on a project basis, with complete transparency regarding costs, times and progress.
How does APplus support companies in the electrical industry with sustainability and energy efficiency?
Sustainability is also playing an increasingly important role in the electrical industry. APplus makes it possible to transparently record and evaluate resource consumption such as material, energy and production times. This allows you to identify potential savings at an early stage, optimize your processes in terms of efficiency and meet regulatory requirements more easily. In addition, key sustainability figures can be directly taken into account in reports and evaluations.
