Comprehensive ERP Solution for the Mechanical Industry

ERP software for the mechanical engineering industry is a comprehensive solution for managing all business operations, helping improve efficiency across departments. It is a powerful tool for leaders to monitor operations and make strategic decisions. Mechanical engineering is considered a key sector in Vietnam's economy. It plays a crucial role in socio-economic development and serves as the foundation and driving force for many other manufacturing industries, as it provides the essential machinery and equipment for various economic sectors.

Challenges still remain

While the global industrial sector is stepping into the Fourth Industrial Revolution, Vietnam's mechanical engineering industry is still lagging behind other countries in the region. Specifically, mechanical manufacturing is still largely manual, lacking breakthrough products with strong international competitiveness. Many enterprises have not focused on applying technology, and integration and connectivity remain limited. Investment in IT is still in the early stages of adaptation, mainly driven by foreign-invested enterprises or those with a progressive approach. Additionally, due to the industry's demand for high precision, solutions must not only manage inventory but also fragmented production processes while ensuring optimal effectiveness. This poses a major challenge for digital transformation solution providers in addressing these specific needs.

Applying ERP to drive breakthroughs in Mechanical Engineering

In the face of global changes, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic, mechanical engineering enterprises need to adapt to stay competitive. This involves not only upgrading machinery but also optimizing business management. To tackle the aforementioned challenges, enterprises need suitable digital transformation tools to manage all resources, streamline processes, enhance productivity, and seize new business opportunities. Currently, GMO-Z.com RUNSYSTEM not only provides ERP solutions but also enhances customer experience by integrating smart products that support digital transformation such as: SmartOCR – a character recognition and extraction solution, SmartKYC – a digital customer identification process, and SmartRPA – a robotic process automation solution. ERP helps integrate all these intelligent solutions into one comprehensive, lightweight system accessible to everyone in the organization. Mr. Pham Dao Lam (ERP Project Manager at GMO-Z.com RUNSYSTEM) shared: “Implementing ERP is a major investment—not only financially but also in terms of time and human resources. Above all, the software tailored for mechanical engineering must address the industry’s unique challenges. In fact, GMO-Z.com RUNSYSTEM has ‘tailored’ and implemented an ERP solution for Ngai Cau Construction and Trading Investment JSC to resolve many lingering issues in purchasing, warehousing, and production.”

Ngai Cau Construction and Trading Investment JSC specializes in mechanical processing and hot-dip galvanizing of various steel poles, anchor bolts, equipment supports, substations, 110–500kV power lines, steel cross arms, grounding systems, substation equipment, and other steel structures. Over the years, Ngai Cau has been a trusted partner of companies such as Song Da 11 JSC, Song Da Installation and Services JSC, Hai Phong Lighting JSC, among hundreds of other enterprises nationwide. Ngai Cau is gradually implementing ERP enterprise management tools to improve internal management and enhance work efficiency, with an investment ranging from 1 to 2 billion VND. In this collaboration with GMO-Z.com RUNSYSTEM, the company realized that storing data manually using Word or Excel across departments was time-consuming and resulted in inaccurate reporting. Since implementing the ERP solution, 100% of processes and documentation have become more transparent and clearly managed. Information among departments such as purchasing, warehousing, accounting, etc., is now highly synchronized, minimizing loss and enhancing operational efficiency and competitiveness.
