Is your inventory out of control? Do you suffer from over-stocking, chronic shortages, high expediting costs, and late deliveries?
You don't need a costly and complicated ERP system to address these problems. With common sense MRP from DBA software, you are given all the tools you need to deliver on time using less inventory and WIP.
DBA Manufacturing is a self-contained MRP system that runs the manufacturing side of your business: meaning inventory, bills of material, sales orders, jobs, and purchasing. All transactions post to the general ledger, which handles WIP accounting with labor and overhead absorption.
Four common sense item settings - Lead Days, Job Days, Reorder Level, and Minimum Order. - generate jobs and POs on a just in time basis within a coordinated master schedule. For customized products, DBA generates jobs directly from sales order lines and job details can be modified as needed for special requirements.
The Job Control Panel and Shop Control Panel in conjunction with the Job Clock help you execute the master schedule out in the shop to help you minimize work in process and deliver on time.
On a daily basis, AR and AP vouchers are transferred to your accounting system for receivables and payables processing, and GL account totals are transferred at period end for financial reporting.
Our common sense approach also applies to our self-help sales model, which gives you the tools you need to explore the software on your own. This enables us to offer DBA for a dramatically lower product price and ongoing costs than the ERP alternative.
Our self-help sales model is based around our free evaluation system, which you can download from our website. The free system is a special version of the actual software with sample company data.
The free evaluation system includes a complete set of video presentations that provides meaning to screens and reports.
If you have product questions and are unable to find the answers among our self-help resources, you are welcome to use our "Ask DBA" service to submit questions to our support staff.
Unlike ERP systems, which require outside consultants for implementation, DBA is designed for self-implementation. The majority of our customers get the system up and running on their own, using our Implementation Planner, video training courses, data import screens, and technical support. If you choose to get outside help, the steps in our Implementation Planner can be followed by any third party and will help you get more for your service dollar.
Since the founding of our company in 1992, we've refined our sales model and product design to provide manufacturing companies worldwide with a clear alternative to ERP systems. Key to our sales model is the following policy, offered by no other company. If you order the system and for any reason DBA is not for you, return the software within 180-days, a full six months and we will send you a refund of all monies paid, including support.
DBA can be ordered through our web store or by phone and can be activated immediately by downloading the software and installing a license key.
