ERP forMechanical and plant engineering
Your system for successful processes
Das bietet unser ERP APplus dem Maschinenbau und Anlagenbau
A clear overview is crucial in mechanical and plant engineering. If you don’t have projects, resources and processes under control, you risk downtime. Everything must be perfectly coordinated. The APplus ERP system supports you with a powerful CRM, central project management and the seamless integration of PLM and CAD data. This allows you to manage your processes in a targeted manner and maintain control at all times.
The ERP brings all departments together so that not only the internal processes work, but also the customer service is convincing. Development, production and service work with the same, always up-to-date data. Your team can answer inquiries directly and coordinate maintenance efficiently. This strengthens customer loyalty and makes your company even more competitive.

PLM/CAD integration
Direct access to all data
If development and production do not interact perfectly, errors can quickly occur in plant and mechanical engineering. This does not happen with PLM/CAD integration from APplus. Your design data is always up to date and changes are made directly in production. No data chaos, no misunderstandings. Just do it – without reworking and duplicating work.
Your advantages:
- Current design data flows directly into production
- Duplication of work and post-processing are significantly reduced
- Sources of error due to manual transfers are completely eliminated
Growing parts lists
Flexible and adaptable
It is often a reality in mechanical engineering: the final product design has not yet been finalized, but production still has to start – whether for early procurement or for initial processing steps. This is no problem with APplus. Your parts lists simply grow with the course of the project and adapt dynamically to new information. This keeps your production agile, even if not all details are defined from the outset.
Your advantages:
- Production start and procurement possible even before final parts list
- Flexible response to customer requests and subsequent changes
- Reliable planning and production despite incomplete product data

Project management
Everything in view, everything under control
From quotation preparation to commissioning – projects in mechanical engineering are complex and require close integration of a wide variety of processes. APplus allows you to maintain an overview at all times: All relevant data and project information is available centrally and can be accessed directly by everyone involved. This allows you to react quickly, manage projects in a targeted manner and lead them safely to their goal.
Your advantages:
- Central availability of all project-related information
- Efficient coordination and control, even with parallel processes
- Fast implementation of changes and customer requirements
Calculation
Economic efficiency guaranteed
Machine builders need to keep an eye on their costs. With APplus , you can record costs precisely right from the start. The preliminary costing helps with planning, the running costing shows current values and the final costing provides information on optimization potential. The ERP solution allows you to keep an eye on your profitability and make well-founded decisions.
Your advantages:
- Seamless cost tracking across all production phases
- Informed decisions thanks to transparent data
- Identify optimization potential by comparing target and actual values
Service management
All-round support for your systems
Machines and systems have to run – and the service has to be right. APplus enables the smooth management of your systems, service contracts and much more. It offers you a powerful service management tool that covers all aspects of your service processes. The result? Efficiently managed systems, precisely tracked service contracts and perfectly coordinated maintenance work.
Your advantages:
- Central management of systems, maintenance and service contracts
- Fast response times thanks to direct access to all service data
- Greater customer satisfaction thanks to reliable, predictable service processes

FAQs on ERP in mechanical engineering
What specific requirements of mechanical and plant engineering does APplus cover?
APplus is tailored to complex manufacturing processes and project-oriented work. Among other things, it supports project management, simultaneous costing, variant configuration and CAD/PLM integration. This means that individual customer requirements can also be implemented efficiently.
Why is the scalability of an ERP system important for mechanical engineering companies?
Anyone who continues to develop needs a system that moves with them. Regardless of whether this involves growing order volumes, new locations or changing production models. A scalable ERP adapts flexibly to new requirements without disrupting processes.
Is APplus suitable for individual and series production?
Yes – particularly well, in fact. APplus offers functions such as project-related planning, flexible parts lists and individual costing. This also makes it ideal for manufacturers where hardly any two orders are the same.
How does APplus support communication along the value chain?
APplus creates transparency across departments, locations and even company boundaries. Consistent processes and centralized data ensure that everyone involved is always on the same page. This ensures successful internal and external collaboration.
Can service and maintenance orders be managed with APplus?
Yes, service and maintenance are fully integrated in APplus. Everything is managed centrally, from scheduling to spare parts invoicing. Mobile service teams also benefit from the digital processes.
How does APplus ensure end-to-end transparency in complex manufacturing processes?
All information comes together centrally in APplus – from design to dispatch. This makes complex processes not only visible, but also controllable. This allows teams to maintain an overview and react quickly if something changes.
How flexibly can APplus be adapted to individual processes?
Hardly any two machine builders are the same. That’s why the system can be modularly structured and individually configured. Workflows and masks can also be adapted without programming.
Why is CAD/PLM integration in mechanical engineering ERP crucial?
Changes to designs often have a direct impact on purchasing, production or costing. Without integration, media disruptions and errors occur. With its seamless connection, APplus ensures a continuous flow of data from design to production.
Can APplus be used on the move?
Yes – whether in the field, on the construction site or at the customer’s premises. Mobile apps and browser-based interfaces allow users to access relevant data on the move. This keeps processes moving, even when you’re away from your desk.
How flexibly can APplus be adapted to individual processes?
From the first offer to the final acceptance: a good ERP accompanies every step of the project. It links resource planning, purchasing, production and service. In APplus, this happens via integrated project management.
