Founded in 1996 by Brent Barton, along with co-founder Taylor Wagen, Cetec ERP was built to give small and mid-sized manufacturers a more practical, affordable, and modern alternative to traditional ERP software. Based in Austin, Texas, the company offers an all-in-one, cloud-based manufacturing management platform that combines ERP, MRP, CRM, MES, QMS, and financial tools in one place. It helps businesses manage everything from sales, purchasing, and inventory to production scheduling, quality control, accounting, and customer relationships. One of its biggest strengths is its ability to adapt to different manufacturing workflows without requiring expensive custom coding. Users appreciate its easy-to-use interface, flexible features, barcode inventory tracking, affordable approach, and responsive customer support. It also brings different departments together, reducing manual work and making it easier for teams to manage daily operations from a single system.
