What OptiProERP is

Some vendors build a manufacturing ERP from scratch. eWorkplace Manufacturing took the other route: it embeds its manufacturing functionality into SAP Business One, SAP's ERP product for smaller companies, and sells the combination as one system. Buyers get the SAP accounting, inventory, purchasing and sales core plus production planning, shop floor control and quality modules written for discrete manufacturing. This is a distinct offering from the plain SAP Business One product covered elsewhere in this directory.

Company and product background

eWorkplace Manufacturing, Inc. sits in Irvine, California, and belongs to the privately held eWorkplace group. The SAP relationship is unusually close: the firm is SAP's strategic industry partner for manufacturing and distribution and was SAP's first North American OEM partner in the PartnerEdge program, an agreement both sides have extended across multiple contract cycles. The same vendor owns BatchMaster ERP, a process-manufacturing product likewise built on SAP Business One. Between them the two lines serve more than 3,000 customers worldwide, OptiProERP on the discrete side and BatchMaster on the formula-based side.

Functional scope

The manufacturing layer delivers material requirements planning (MRP), production orders and routings, capacity planning and scheduling, shop floor data collection with labor and machine tracking, quality management with inspection plans, engineering change control, and lot and serial traceability. Warehouse functions add barcode-supported receiving, picking and cycle counting. The SAP Business One foundation contributes general ledger and financial accounting, receivables and payables, purchasing, sales and CRM, and reporting. Preconfigured dashboards and industry process flows are meant to shorten projects for smaller manufacturing organizations.

Who buys it, and how it is sold

Target buyers are small and midsize discrete manufacturers: industrial machinery and equipment, electronics, medical devices, metal fabrication, automotive components. Wholesale distributors that need light manufacturing capability form the second group. Customers exist in the United States, Mexico, Europe and Asia, with North America as the primary market. Deployment is cloud or on-premises. Pricing is not published; licensing follows the quote-based model typical of SAP Business One solutions and depends on user counts, modules and deployment choice, with implementation, training and data migration costs on top. Model the whole project rather than the license line; our ERP cost guide lists the usual blocks.

Our take

For a midsize discrete manufacturer that wants SAP technology without an enterprise-suite project, the bundle is coherent: SAP's small-business core plus the manufacturing depth Business One lacks natively, from one vendor holding an OEM license. Two dependencies remain. The roadmap rests on both SAP's kernel and eWorkplace's extension layer, and the vendor is small beside the suite providers it competes with. Process manufacturers should head to sister product BatchMaster instead. Establish early whether a quote covers plain Business One or the OptiProERP bundle; they are not the same product.

Frequently asked questions

How is OptiProERP different from a standard SAP Business One installation?

The manufacturing layer ships inside the product instead of arriving as third-party add-ons. Production planning, shop floor control, quality management and engineering change control are embedded in SAP Business One and sold as one system, whereas a plain Business One installation covers financials, inventory, purchasing and sales and leaves deeper manufacturing to the add-on market. Companies already on Business One can adopt the OptiProERP layer without replacing their core.

Who is the company behind OptiProERP?

eWorkplace Manufacturing, Inc., privately held and headquartered in Irvine, California. Its SAP credentials run deep: strategic industry partner for manufacturing and distribution, and SAP's first North American OEM partner in the PartnerEdge program. The firm also owns BatchMaster ERP for process manufacturers, and the two product lines together count more than 3,000 customers.

Can OptiProERP run in the cloud?

Yes, and on-premises as well. Choosing cloud spares you operating SAP Business One infrastructure yourself, while strict data-residency or validation regimes can argue for your own servers. The decision affects the quote, so settle it before requesting numbers.

What does OptiProERP cost?

There is no public price list, which is standard for SAP Business One-based products sold through direct and partner channels. Expect the figure to move with user counts, modules, deployment model and services, and treat implementation, training and data migration as first-class budget lines rather than afterthoughts.

Is OptiProERP suitable for process manufacturers?

No. OptiProERP is written for discrete production, goods assembled from parts and bills of material. Formula- and recipe-driven producers in food, chemicals or pharma are pointed at BatchMaster ERP, the sister product on the same SAP Business One base. Sorting out which line you are evaluating up front spares you a functional mismatch no configuration can repair.

Which industries does OptiProERP focus on?

Industrial machinery and equipment, electronics, medical devices, metal fabrication and automotive components on the manufacturing side, plus wholesale distributors that need light production capability. The preconfigured dashboards and process flows aim squarely at small and midsize organizations; enterprise-scale manufacturers are outside the design point.

Is OptiProERP available outside North America?

Customers run the product in the United States, Mexico, Europe and Asia, but North America is the center of gravity. Buyers elsewhere should confirm local implementation partners and support hours during evaluation instead of assuming the North American footprint carries over.
