Abstract This paper aims to determine how specific ERPs meet the needs of custom manufacturing industries, and the implications for markets such as signage, furniture, and specialty equipment. Based on the findings, this study reveals how existing ERP systems lack flexibility in managing real-time production and scheduling, stock control, and tracking of customer orders. Drawing upon the data, it explains how features like speciality modules such as real-time scheduling, internet of Things-based inventory tracking for product availability, and the creation of customer-accessible dashboards also increase operative effectiveness and consumer satisfaction. The benefits highlighted by the cases include the cut down of lead times by at least 30 per cent, the cut down of material wastage by at least 25 per cent and an increase in the on-time delivery rate by at least 15 per cent. The study also deals with the customization issues such as cost escalation and implementation issues which are met with phased modular approaches for risk/reward optimization. The findings of this research may be useful for designers of ERP systems and other stakeholders who are interested in enhancing adaptability and competitiveness in today’s world.
