LAGUNA HILLS, Calif., Jan. 23, 2020-- OptiProERP Software, Inc., a leading global provider of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solutions for manufacturing and distribution and SAP's strategic industry partner, announced today that Schmitt & Ongaro Marine Products is launching its cloud ERP solution. The global manufacturer and distributor of premium marine products serves OEMs and distributors in the boating industry.


Schmitt & Ongaro's growth and global supply chain demanded a move away from fragmented spreadsheets and QuickBooks® accounting software.

By adding modern cloud ERP technology for manufacturing and distribution, Schmitt & Ongaro gains the agility to support its growth, adopt new revenue streams and deliver a best-in-class customer experience to strengthen its competitive edge. The platform also delivers real-time visibility across its operations and a single version of truth to help the company connect and streamline its business functions.

"We're a growing global operation with lots of moving parts to track and manage. We need full real-time visibility and a platform for growth. OptiProERP's all-in-one system in the cloud and quick implementation will allow us to focus on growing our business," commented Tim Schmitt, owner, CEO and third generation family executive. "We looked at several other ERP solutions, like NetSuite, Odoo, Epicor, Bizowie and ECi M1. OptiProERP is the right-fit answer to carry us into the future."

"Schmitt & Ongaro, like many of our manufacturing and distribution customers, has outgrown fragmented solutions and data. They're ready to move to a full-fledged enterprise management solution that's industry-focused and easy to implement," stated Sahib Dudani, founder of OptiProERP. "OptiProERP gives customers the tools they need to compete in a global market."

To gain visibility and real-time intelligence, Schmitt & Ongaro's first phase of implementation includes adding a customer portal and credit card integration and deploying warehouse management functionality in addition to core manufacturing ERP features to streamline planning, purchasing, sales and financials. The company will also add eCommerce functions over time.
