<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Hey folks,</p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true"> I’ve been working with a few manufacturing teams trying to boost <strong>shop floor efficiency</strong> — everything from real-time visibility to minimizing downtime and better resource planning. I pulled insights from G2’s latest <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/discrete-erp"><strong>Discrete ERP Software Grid</strong></a> and user reviews to see which tools actually help streamline day-to-day operations on the floor.</p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Here’s what stood out:</p><ul>

</ul><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">I pulled this mainly from <strong>G2 satisfaction and feature-level data</strong> focused on <strong>production planning, workflow visibility, and automation. </strong>Which ERP has actually helped your team improve shop floor efficiency or cut downtime? Curious what’s made the biggest difference in real operations.</p>
