Notable for ease-of-use, fast navigation, tailored views and tight security, Made2Manage ERP applications deliver the functionality without the fuss – solid applications that make users’ jobs easier, not more cumbersome.

Made2Manage provides full ERP capabilities for custom manufacturers centered on a “casual” bill-of-material for making complex products, while continuing with design and engineering activity. Active product support and enhancement deliver the capabilities and technologies that customers want and need in their specific industries, including ERP, BI, CRM, APS, MES and configuration from one supplier.

Made2Manage ERP software products are designed to bring the entire company together by offering broad application coverage that allows all departments to use the system effectively, including management, sales, engineering, purchasing, operations, manufacturing, quality, customer service, finance, accounting, and human resources.

Product Development

Consona focuses 100% of the Made2Manage product development efforts on the needs of our customers. We listen closely to customer input and offer multiple forums for providing input on product development including:

• Best practices for product definition

• Access to our Expert support site to directly request changes and/or enhancements

• Beta testing opportunities

• Participation in user group meetings with Made2Manage product experts

Consona invests R&D on product enhancements to address the needs of our engineering and enterprise resource planning customers. Made2Manage software is designed solely for the unique requirements of the manufacturing industry.

Made2Manage software products are released after stringent quality metrics have been achieved. At Consona, delivering a quality product with robust functionality that meets our customers’ needs takes priority over meeting an arbitrary target release date.

Since product development decisions are not governed by the needs of the sales team, we are not under the same pressures as other software vendors that may rush applications to market and sacrifice quality in the process. We take the time to fully scope out customer requirements, build deep functionality, and thoroughly beta test our products, to ensure Made2Manage customers receive reliable software.
