Industry ERP Guides
Turn how your sector works into ERP requirements
HYP ERP Industry ERP Guides explain how ERP functions apply to different operating models, from retail and manufacturing to projects, trading and real estate. Use them to build your evaluation checklist so demonstrations test real workflows, not module names.

Retail and restaurants
POS, inventory and purchasing in customer-facing businesses. Retail evaluations test discounts, returns, day closing, branch pricing and multi-location stock; restaurants test table, kitchen and cashier workflows.

Production scheduling, materials, purchasing and inventory, with attention to BOM levels, production orders, material issues, routes and cost visibility.
Project-based and construction businesses
Project visibility, procurement and financial information, including WBS, cost breakdown, commitments, approvals, site progress and the link between progress and cost.
Trading and distribution
Inquiries, customer pricing, warehouses, purchasing and delivery, following each order through stock to the customer.

Industry ERP guide FAQs
Are HYP ERP Industry ERP Guides product specifications?
No. HYP ERP Industry ERP Guides are educational resources, supported by product information where it is available. They explain the evaluation criteria for each sector; the scope of HYP ERP for your business is confirmed separately.
Can an industry ERP guide replace a product demo?
No. An industry ERP guide prepares your requirement list, but business-specific requirements still need to be validated in a HYP ERP demonstration using your own processes and transactions.
What should a manufacturing ERP evaluation check first?
A manufacturing ERP evaluation should start with BOMs, production orders and material flow, then review BOM levels, routes, material issues and cost visibility against how your production actually runs.
Which industries do the HYP ERP guides cover?
HYP ERP Industry ERP Guides cover retail and restaurants, manufacturing, project-based and construction businesses, trading and distribution, and real estate. Each topic links ERP functions to the processes that sector depends on.
