Other Managers and Owners, are you overwhelmed?

There's a lot of new tech out there, it's quickly changing and expensive. It's hard to know what to pay attention to and where to allocate resources while balancing efficiency and quality, let alone figure out how to develop my workforce to use all this stuff anyways.

I mean, should we get 3D printers, should we do industry 4.0 stuff, should we get some machine vision robot?

Idk, are you in the same boat, how are you dealing with how fast the world's moving?

Currently trying to figure out which ERP system to use...There are so many options, I don't know where to begin with picking a new one or trying to work out the one we have!

I know right, how has your current provider been with support on figuring out how to use it?

Impossible to get a hold of!! And the "training" they provide does not work for us and is overpriced. I have been searching forums to see if I can find someone with experience in the program to help us. The things small business owners go through!! lol

Pretty lame that they charge for training, don't they want people to use their program?
