Last week, industry leaders, ERP experts, and manufacturing professionals came together at Fairfield by Marriott, Mumbai, for an engaging session hosted by Greytrix in collaboration with Acumatica and eWorkplace. The event, Smart Transformation: The Strategic Role of ERP in Modern Manufacturing, was designed to spark deeper conversations around how technology is reshaping manufacturing workflows, from shop floor to CFO dashboards.

In the heart of Mumbai, Greytrix, in collaboration with Acumatica, hosted a vibrant gathering of manufacturing professionals, ERP consultants, and industry leaders. The event, Smart Transformation: The Strategic Role of ERP in Modern Manufacturing, centered on how technology can address the evolving operational challenges faced by manufacturers while guiding their businesses toward greater scalability and automation.
As digitization continues to reshape supply chains and shop floors, the event delivered timely insights into how modern ERP platforms are adapting to meet these growing demands with agility and precision.

Kicking off the session, Shine Mathew outlined how cloud-first ERP systems are transforming the way manufacturing teams collaborate, especially across geographies. He emphasized Acumatica’s ability to support remote teams, ensure data security, and enable mobility which is the key pillars for modern manufacturing environments.

He also introduced embedded integrations as a core strength of Acumatica, explaining how seamless connectivity across systems reduces data duplication and accelerates workflows across departments.

Manufacturing Edition Deep Dive: Core Features That Matter
Shine went on to explore the Acumatica Manufacturing Edition, highlighting its most impactful modules from Bill of Materials and Routing, to Production Management, Inventory Control, and Quality Management. He emphasized how manufacturers can leverage these features to gain real-time control over operations, minimize waste, and better plan capacity and demand.

Access with Intent: Role-Based Controls in Manufacturing
Another key point Shine addressed was role-based access, a feature often underutilized in ERP setups. He explained how properly defined access ensures the right people have visibility over the right data, whether it’s plant supervisors, finance heads, or inventory managers. This allows for cleaner decision-making and improved accountability.

Learning Without Barriers: Acumatica Open University & Training
Recognizing the need for continuous learning, Shine also mentioned Acumatica Open University, a free and open-access platform designed to upskill users and partners alike. From product documentation to hands-on courses, he stressed how training is vital to unlocking the full potential of ERP software and improving adoption rates within manufacturing organizations.

Shailendra Sail took the stage to highlight the added value that eWorkplace Apps bring to the Acumatica ecosystem. Designed specifically for manufacturers, these solutions enhance core ERP capabilities by streamlining plant operations, supporting compliance, and improving end-to-end visibility—from procurement through to delivery.

Panel Insights: Conversations That Moved the Room
Moderated by Pooja Singh, the panel discussion featured Shine Mathew, Shailendra Sail, and Jitendra Somani. The session delved into practical strategies for ERP adoption, the challenges manufacturers face when scaling operations, and how data-driven visibility is transforming everyday decision-making.
