Curious how small sized businesses are doing it?

Is quickbooks good enough?

What type of manufacturing, and roughly what revenues?

A good ERP will tell you a lot more about your costs/efficiencies than QB can. But you need to be absolutely 100% confident that your ERP will be the right fit for your business. Might be worth it to use a consultant to give recommendations.

If you're in high speed manufacturing or packaging, an environment with actual production lines/conveyors, then I would instead invest in performance monitoring software before ERP. IMO it cannot be overstated how valuable that kind of info can be for understanding your efficiencies.

Worximity, Decide4Action, and Redzone are a few options that I've seen/used in the past.
