Digital Transformation

As the manufacturing industry enters the third decade of the 21st century, enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions are increasingly becoming the backbone of modern manufacturing. 

The construction industry has undergone significant transformation over the past twenty years. Speedpanel, a leading Australian manufacturer of lightweight, fire-rated, and acoustic wall systems, made a groundbreaking entrance in the early '90s, revolutionising the Australian construction landscape.

For business leaders in the Australian manufacturing industry, digital transformation is not just a buzzword—it is a necessity to stay ahead and maintain a competitive edge in operational efficiency. 

With a rapidly evolving market, Aussie manufacturers are faced with the urgent need to adopt the latest technologies to optimise their operations and stay competitive. One critical element in this digital transformation journey is the use of advanced Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems.

Manufacturers are responding to the low-growth environment by focusing on digitisation, ESG and portfolio reshaping, transforming into more digital, resilient, and sustainable organisations.

As innovations transform today’s global industrial landscape, it is becoming more apparent to Australian manufacturers that they can no longer afford to be caught off guard by emerging trends or technological breakthroughs. The ability to adapt to manufacturing’s “next big thing” is no longer a competitive advantage but a survival necessity.
