About QAD Adaptive ERP
QAD Adaptive ERP is an enterprise resource planning system for manufacturers, covering sales, service, manufacturing, inventory, asset management, purchasing, financials and EDI, with embedded reporting and analytics. The vendor's site also lists related applications sold alongside the core ERP, including a quality management system (EQMS) with APQP, document control, NCR/CAPA and auditing, a supply chain planning tool (DSCP), Advanced Scheduling for production sequencing, Supplier Management, Global Trade and Transportation Execution, a Connected Workforce module, Digital Commerce for B2B/B2C ordering, and a process mining tool called Process Intelligence.
The site positions these applications for global manufacturers and supply chain organizations, without naming a specific company size or industry vertical beyond general manufacturing and supply chain use cases. It describes Digital Supply Chain Planning as cloud-based and Digital Commerce as cloud-based, but does not state a deployment model for the core Adaptive ERP itself.
The vendor's site does not publish pricing for QAD Adaptive ERP or any of its related modules; it directs visitors to request a demo or contact sales instead. Details of how the various modules integrate with each other, and with third-party systems, are described only at a high level, with specific technical integration methods left unclear.
