MANUFACTURING

One Manufacturing Business. One Connected Set of Systems.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

Manufacturing

Manufacturing runs on a chain of processes that must work as one: planning, sourcing, shop floor, quality, delivery, payment and customer updates. When spreadsheets, paper forms and disconnected tools hold that chain together, delays, errors and blind spots creep in. 

 

SL Information Solutions has worked inside Malaysian and ASEAN manufacturing for over 30 years, with more than 30 ASEAN customers such as Lam Soon, across discrete and process manufacturing. Its portfolio now covers the full chain: two ERP platforms (Pronto Xi and Infor M3), AI-driven document and workflow automation, customer communications, e-invoicing compliance, and the infrastructure and security to run it all safely.

FAQ

Understanding Manufacturing

Do we need to replace our whole system to get these benefits, or can we add pieces at a time?

Most manufacturers start with the pain point costing them the most today — often the shop floor (MakeIT), the warehouse (StockIT), or manual AP/AR — and add other pieces over time. The ERP is the backbone, but the mobility and automation tools can often be layered on incrementally. 

It depends on scale and industry. Pronto Xi suits small-to-large Malaysian manufacturers across a broad range of sectors; Infor M3 is purpose-built for global manufacturers specifically in fashion, food & beverage, chemicals and industrial manufacturing, running across multiple countries and currencies from one instance. 

Both Pronto Xi and Infor M3 support bills of materials structures up to 50 levels deep, along with alternative routing for production flexibility. 

MakeIT and StockIT are built around barcode/QR scanning on ordinary smart devices, specifically to minimize the learning curve for shop floor and warehouse teams replacing paper-based processes. 

Yes — Mountaintop e-Invoice Middleware connects whatever ERP you run to LHDN’s MyInvois platform for compliant submission, which applies to manufacturers the same as any other business above the compliance threshold. 

That’s exactly what SmartLogic (AP) and Reclaw (AR) are for — AI-based data extraction and matching that removes manual re-keying from supplier invoices and customer collections. 

It depends on scope — number of modules, sites, BOM complexity and data migration involved. In Malaysia, a typica ERP Implementation with Manufacturing module takes at least 3-6 months.
