APS (Advanced Planning and Scheduling) revolutionises industrial planning through collaborative solutions that optimise finite capacity resources. This means it takes into account all your real constraints: human, machinery, processes, trades... and even the available space to produce!
The result?
Perfect synchronisation of flows, from raw materials to finished products, for maximum productivity.
In contrast, ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) is limited to infinite capacity planning, ideal for managing data but often insufficient for precise and realistic scheduling.

To summarise: ERP sees broadly, but APS sees accurately.
Together, they are the key to industrial performance!
