Send us Fan MailManufacturing ERP remains one of the broadest and most misunderstood categories in enterprise software. Before evaluating the top manufacturing ERP systems in 2026, organizations must first understand that manufacturing is not a single industry—it is a collection of highly specialized micro-verticals with unique operational, engineering, compliance, and supply chain requirements. Consequently, manufacturing ERP platforms differ significantly in their process models, data architectures, and industry alignment. Some systems are designed to support multiple manufacturing modes through broad and flexible capabilities, while others are purpose-built for highly specific operational environments. This makes context critically important when comparing ERP systems, especially across different company sizes, business models, and levels of manufacturing complexity.In this episode, our host Sam Gupta discusses the top manufacturing ERP systems in 2026. He also discusses several variables that influence the rankings of these ERP systems.
