Green Circuits Strengthens Real-Time Manufacturing Control with Cetec ERP
February 23, 2026 | Green CircuitsEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Green Circuits, a full-service electronics manufacturing services (EMS) partner to leading OEMs in aerospace and defense, medical and health technology, industrial electronics, and semiconductor and AI hardware markets, has significantly enhanced real-time manufacturing visibility and operational control following its implementation of Cetec ERP nearly two years ago.
The web-based ERP platform was deployed as part of a strategic initiative to unify business systems, improve cross-functional transparency, and support the company’s continued growth in high-reliability and regulated markets.
Since implementation, Green Circuits has strengthened shop floor visibility, streamlined quoting and order processing, improved inventory accuracy and material traceability, and enhanced document and quality management workflows. The centralized platform integrates ERP, MRP, CRM, and QMS functionality into a single system, enabling departments to access consistent, real-time data across sales, engineering, manufacturing, quality, and finance.
“Implementing Cetec ERP has given us greater transparency across the organization,” said Mark Evans, Chief Operating Officer. “Real-time access to production, materials, and quality data allows us to make faster decisions, respond more effectively to customer requirements, and maintain strong process control as we scale.”
The system’s web-based architecture supports Green Circuits’ dynamic production environment, including prototype-to-production transitions, engineering change management, and strict documentation requirements. Enhanced traceability and integrated quality controls further strengthen compliance capabilities for aerospace, medical, and other high-reliability sectors.
As demand continues to grow in complex electronics manufacturing, the ERP platform provides the infrastructure necessary to scale operations while maintaining discipline, accountability, and process consistency.
“Our investment in Cetec ERP was about building a stronger operational foundation,” added Evans. “It allows us to improve efficiency internally while delivering greater predictability and responsiveness to our customers.”
Green Circuits provides end-to-end electronics manufacturing services, including design support, PCB fabrication, assembly, testing, and box build, supporting both prototype and full-scale production programs.
