About

M1 is a subscription cloud-based or on-premise ERP software for discrete manufacturers, enabling you to tie your business operations together in one system to centralize your data. It lets you coordinate and share data across various functions within your business from estimating, purchasing, inventory management, scheduling, production, shipping, and more. The solution is suitable for small to midsize companies that manufacture via repetitive, make-to-stock, make-to-order and engineer-to-order processes. M1’s product configurator provides a multi-level, automated configuration that builds product configurations from a BOM. Users can also add additional rules and formulas after the wizard is complete. The system also offers features for inventory barcoding, shop floor control and customizable reporting through integration with Crystal Reports. Other key features include MRP, Alerts and Automation, BAM, "Smart Screen Technology", and the M1 Design Studio to customize M1

Pros from Real Users

Pros

  • Evocon product is phenomenal. We were hesitant to use this product because we it was a popular brand and the price appeared to be too good. However, Evocon team was able to implement a successful product on over 100 major pieces of equipment in a very short timeline. The team gave us superior support, and even weekly calls. Fantastic product, great leaders. Highly recommend.
  • 1. Quick installation 2. User-friendly interface for both - production floor users and admins 3. Reports within few clicks - great visualization 4. Full transparency in production - no more "hidden factory"

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • In my humble opinion, this software has some of the best drilldown capabilities I've ever seen in a Tier3/Tier2 level ERP. M1 has also solved the age old problem of custom SQL queries that tend to be daunting for standard system users. The software allows users to create custom grids simply by selecting from a list of available tables and then adding headers. Behind the scenes it automatically writes the SQL code. This ability empowers daily users to easily access the data they need.

Cons

  • No software is perfect, and unfortunately one of the areas where M1 falls down a bit is on Deposit Invoices. The software can detect when a customer has a deposit, and apply it towards the final A/R Invoice, but if the situation arises where the original Deposit Invoice has to be credited, and a new Deposit Invoice issued, it tends to duplicate the deposit lines on the final A/R Invoice. The duplicate lines can be deleted, but that is an extra step that can be missed by a careless A/R person. If ECi would nip this issue in the bud, I'd be hard pressed to find something to complain about.
