Product
Features that support the full operational flow.
From migration to quoting, scheduling, inventory, integrations, and quality workflows, Tangle gives manufacturers the tools to run the business in one adaptable ERP.
Keep the ERP you have
Tangle Xray, which lets you see into the ERP you already have, gives a legacy manufacturing ERP new life after the vendor has stopped adapting it. It recognizes customers, parts and orders on the screen your team already uses, then surfaces mapped history, inventory, customer search and configured actions in place.
Migrations Made Easy
Switching from spreadsheets or legacy ERP systems is accelerated with AI and no-code importing and mapping tooling.
Off Ramp maps your legacy data and live-syncs it into Tangle, so your old system keeps running while you go live in stages.
