We're looking at ERP software for our very small proto and small batch shop. Manex is a name that crops up as being specifically designed for CEMS rather than all the rest which are modified from a universal base. The other is DBA Manuafcturing whi

Aegis always told me that they wouldnt go into the full MRP thing believing that this was not their core speciality even though it would make sense but last I heard was that they were talking to Manex about making the two systems interact - this was

Peter, Need a new hire? I'm up for moving . Considering the size...I'd guess that DBA or something similar is more along the right lines for you. xERP (Manex) may be way more than what you need. We were using it in a $20 mil company, and had a l

DBA tried to re-write thier software at least twice and failed. They ended up buying/partnering with EZ-Jobz from I think Austrailia. The new product and the old product are not the same at all in any way. Manex was originally based on FoxPro. We are

Peter, I've used both systems, and can offer the following: Manex (xERP, last I knew) is a pretty inclusive set of manufacturing, inventory, accounting, and planning set of software. I used mostly the manufacturing side of things, and found that,

Well apart from us being in the UK and I suspect you are over the pond, you wouldnt want to work with me for what I can pay! I am looking for a partner though......! We do punch above our weight already in that we must be Aegis's smallest customer

Peter, Doesn't Aegis offer an MRP solution? I'm even rustier on my knowledge of Circuit CAM than I am on the the old versions of Manex and DBA that I've used; but I thought I recalled that Aegis was trying to offer a fully integrated solution, that
