Season 4 launches June 11

This is our biggest season yet - more sit-down interviews, on-site recording at game nights and conventions, Jake and Reilly playing games together, custom music, and some big experiments. Our guests continue to be ridiculously thoughtful and interesting. Reilly is hard at work editing out Jake's incoherent tangents and Jake is hard at work tracking down all the games our guests mention offhand so that we can link to them in the show notes.

Our show is entirely produced, owned, and operated by the two of us. We've kept the show independent so that we can ensure our guest's privacy, our guests can speak openly about sex and drugs and piracy and other corporate-unfriendly topics, and we can have control over the advertisements. If you're enjoying Campaign Spotlight, and you want to support us as we keep paying the production bills and putting in the hours to make this show for all of you.

Subscribe and leave a review

Our show is a lot of unscripted audio-only long-form conversations, which is not optimized for virality. We'd like more people to keep finding the show, because that's how we find out about cool new campaigns and find more guests for subsequent seasons. Help feed the various algorithms by liking, subscribing, leaving a review, or whatever the options look like on whatever platform you're using.

Tell a friend about the show

If you've already done all of that, tell another human in your life about Campaign Spotlight! We're pretty much everywhere you find podcasts, including Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube - or even straight from the RSS feed. (If your friend is listening to podcasts on a platform that doesn't have Campaign Spotlight, let us know, because Jake needs to fix that.)

Call in and tell us about your character

Why not support Campaign Spotlight by actually coming on the podcast yourself? We've set up a hotline (724 320 2020) where you can call in and tell us about your cool character (or even about your campaign!) and we'll feature it on the show. If calling in and leaving voicemail seems daunting, you can send it to campaign.spotlight@gmail.com instead.

Subscribe to our Patreon

If you're in a position to help pay for our hosting expenses, the con day passes, and all the software Reilly uses to make the show sound great, the best way to do that is supporting us on Patreon. It's $3 a month, and having that recurring financial support is invaluable in letting us plan out the show. We also have a Ko-Fi which does pretty much the same thing.

Advertise on the show

Have you published your own game? Are you a professional GM looking for clients? Do you have some other cool creative project you want people to know about? Advertise it on Campaign Spotlight! Our rates are reasonable, our audience is great, and your support will absolutely help us keep the lights on around here. Send us an email at campaign.spotlight@gmail.com for more information.

If you have any questions about any of this, feel free to DM us or email us at campaign.spotlight@gmail.com or send us an ask. Thanks so much for listening to the show. This project has become a huge part of our lives and it's sincerely such a joy to share it with all of you.

CDA 230 bans Facebook from blocking interoperable tools

I'm touring my new, nationally bestselling novel The Bezzle! Catch me TONIGHT (May 2) in WINNIPEG, then TOMORROW (May 3) in CALGARY, then SATURDAY (May 4) in VANCOUVER, then onto Tartu, Estonia, and beyond!

Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act is the most widely misunderstood technology law in the world, which is wild, given that it's only 26 words long!

https://www.techdirt.com/2020/06/23/hello-youve-been-referred-here-because-youre-wrong-about-section-230-communications-decency-act/

CDA 230 isn't a gift to big tech. It's literally the only reason that tech companies don't censor on anything we write that might offend some litigious creep. Without CDA 230, there'd be no #MeToo. Hell, without CDA 230, just hosting a private message board where two friends get into serious beef could expose to you an avalanche of legal liability.

CDA 230 is the only part of a much broader, wildly unconstitutional law that survived a 1996 Supreme Court challenge. We don't spend a lot of time talking about all those other parts of the CDA, but there's actually some really cool stuff left in the bill that no one's really paid attention to:

https://www.aclu.org/legal-document/supreme-court-decision-striking-down-cda

One of those little-regarded sections of CDA 230 is part (c)(2)(b), which broadly immunizes anyone who makes a tool that helps internet users block content they don't want to see.

Enter the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University and their client, Ethan Zuckerman, an internet pioneer turned academic at U Mass Amherst. Knight has filed a lawsuit on Zuckerman's behalf, seeking assurance that Zuckerman (and others) can use browser automation tools to block, unfollow, and otherwise modify the feeds Facebook delivers to its users:

https://knightcolumbia.org/documents/gu63ujqj8o

If Zuckerman is successful, he will set a precedent that allows toolsmiths to provide internet users with a wide variety of automation tools that customize the information they see online. That's something that Facebook bitterly opposes.

Facebook has a long history of attacking startups and individual developers who release tools that let users customize their feed. They shut down Friendly Browser, a third-party Facebook client that blocked trackers and customized your feed:

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/11/once-again-facebook-using-privacy-sword-kill-independent-innovation

Then in in 2021, Facebook's lawyers terrorized a software developer named Louis Barclay in retaliation for a tool called "Unfollow Everything," that autopiloted your browser to click through all the laborious steps needed to unfollow all the accounts you were subscribed to, and permanently banned Unfollow Everywhere's developer, Louis Barclay:

https://slate.com/technology/2021/10/facebook-unfollow-everything-cease-desist.html

Now, Zuckerman is developing "Unfollow Everything 2.0," an even richer version of Barclay's tool.

This rich record of legal bullying gives Zuckerman and his lawyers at Knight something important: "standing" – the right to bring a case. They argue that a browser automation tool that helps you control your feeds is covered by CDA(c)(2)(b), and that Facebook can't legally threaten the developer of such a tool with liability for violating the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, or the other legal weapons it wields against this kind of "adversarial interoperability."

Writing for Wired, Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University speaks to a variety of experts – including my EFF colleague Sophia Cope – who broadly endorse the very clever legal tactic Zuckerman and Knight are bringing to the court.

I'm very excited about this myself. "Adversarial interop" – modding a product or service without permission from its maker – is hugely important to disenshittifying the internet and forestalling future attempts to reenshittify it. From third-party ink cartridges to compatible replacement parts for mobile devices to alternative clients and firmware to ad- and tracker-blockers, adversarial interop is how internet users defend themselves against unilateral changes to services and products they rely on:

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2019/10/adversarial-interoperability

Now, all that said, a court victory here won't necessarily mean that Facebook can't block interoperability tools. Facebook still has the unilateral right to terminate its users' accounts. They could kick off Zuckerman. They could kick off his lawyers from the Knight Institute. They could permanently ban any user who uses Unfollow Everything 2.0.

Obviously, that kind of nuclear option could prove very unpopular for a company that is the very definition of "too big to care." But Unfollow Everything 2.0 and the lawsuit don't exist in a vacuum. The fight against Big Tech has a lot of tactical diversity: EU regulations, antitrust investigations, state laws, tinkerers and toolsmiths like Zuckerman, and impact litigation lawyers coming up with cool legal theories.

Together, they represent a multi-front war on the very idea that four billion people should have their digital lives controlled by an unaccountable billionaire man-child whose major technological achievement was making a website where he and his creepy friends could nonconsensually rate the fuckability of their fellow Harvard undergrads.

Hey, kid. Yeah. You. You want free movies and TV shows?

Well, first of all, Internet Archive. Yes, the Wayback Machine people. They have a lot of movies and shows 'n shit you're gonna have a hard time finding elsewhere. (Also, the Alien movies?????) So if you're looking for something weird or niche or old, you might wanna start your search there.

Second of all: In order to get free goodies ✨elsewhere✨, you need three (3) things.

A VPN (virtual private network)

qBittorrent (or some other torrent client, but this is really the go-to these days.)

Places to go, y'know, get stuff.

First: the VPN

This unfortunately is probably going to cost you money. Free VPNs typically collect data, are extremely slow, and/or don't even allow peer to peer downloading in the first place. Beyond that, they're more likely to turn tail and rat you out to your internet service provider (ISP) and get you in trouble. You then get a nice little DMCA letter in the mail threatening you. Get enough of those, and your ISP will kick you out of your plan with them. That's why you need the VPN in the first place--to avoid that.

Be careful to choose a VPN that won't sell your data, allows peer to peer downloading, and won't rat you out to your ISP. There are plenty of discussions about that, and recommendations you can find. Just don't blindly go for the ones you see advertised everywhere (NordVPN, for instance) as those are more likely to sell your data, which is like... antithetical to why you would be using a VPN anyway. Just read the ToS. Personally, I use Mozilla VPN, and I'm very happy with it.

Mozilla VPN, if you buy a full year, is $4.99/mo, billed annually for $59.88. As far as I can tell, this is pretty average as far as cost goes for VPNs. As opposed to spending two or three times that a month for one (1) streaming service... you're gonna save some money.

(Also, as a bonus, if you live in a state where porn websites have started requiring age verification or have completely stopped functioning, you can use this to get around that by making the website think you're in another state! Region locked youtube video? Not anymore! Nervous about being on a public network at the airport or in a coffee shop? Worry not my friend! There are many benefits to having a VPN. Just be aware that some websites and applications do not like VPNs and will flag as suspicious activity (i.e. your bank, paypal, Netflix...) and you're going to be filling out a LOT of captchas and Cloudflare might not like you. But it is what it is.)

You can also host your own VPN, but that's pretty technical, even for me, so... idk, do what you will with that information.

Second: qBittorrent

Idk man, it's qBittorrent. Just download it.

(for real tho, it's free, it's open source software (yay!) and it's not stealing your data or shoving ads down your throat. It's THE torrent client at this point.)

Third: Places to, y'know, get stuff

I gift unto you the r/Piracy megathread. Enjoy.

Frankly, most information you need, recommendations, etc. is gonna be on r/Piracy. They're a godsend. I also recommend this website for a more detailed guide on all the stuff I just put forward. I would tag the user here I got it from but it looks like they deactivated.

Also for the love of god just switch to Firefox and install ublock origin already. Trust me. Just do it. You'll be so much happier. I promise.

Okay thanks bye! Enjoy your free stuff!

On June 11th, the Cybernews research team discovered an unprotected Amazon S3 storage bucket associated with the WebWork Tracker application, operated by a software company based in Yerevan, Armenia.

The company provides multiple services to organize the workforce, such as tracking remote workers' time and productivity and billing services.

Clients using the company’s service include San Francisco-based remote hiring giant Deel, as well as businesses in Austria, the Netherlands, India, and the US. According to the WebWork Tracker website, the platform has over 140,000 users and serves over 15,000 businesses worldwide.

The company’s time tracking application takes screenshots of the users' screens to show the employer what the remote worker has been working on. The screenshots were uploaded to the company’s cloud, which was misconfigured and lacked authentication.

Colorado's governor vetoes landmark ban on rent-setting algorithms | AP News

Democratic Gov. Jared Polis has vetoed a bill that would have made Colorado the first state to ban landlords from using rent-setting algorithms, which many advocates have blamed for driving up housing costs across the country.

RealPage is the target of a federal lawsuit filed last year that accuses the real estate software company of facilitating an illegal scheme to help landlords coordinate to hike rental prices. Eight other states, including Colorado, have joined the Department of Justice’s lawsuit, though RealPage has vehemently denied any claims of collusion and has fought to have the lawsuit dismissed.

Critics say RealPage software combines confidential information from each real estate management company in ways that enable landlords to align prices and avoid competition that would otherwise push down rents. RealPage’s clients include huge landlords who collectively oversee millions of units across the U.S.

The Colorado bill, which recently passed the Democratic-led Legislature along party lines, would have prevented the use of such algorithms.

In a veto letter Thursday, Polis said he understands the intent of the bill but that any collusion among landlords would already violate existing law.

ok since i've been sharing some piracy stuff i'll talk a bit about how my personal music streaming server is set up. the basic idea is: i either buy my music on bandcamp or download it on soulseek. all of my music is stored on an external hard drive connected to a donated laptop that's next to my house's internet router. this laptop is always on, and runs software that lets me access and stream my any song in my collection to my phone or to other computers. here's the detailed setup:

my home server is an old thinkpad laptop with a broken keyboard that was donated to me by a friend. it runs yunohost, a linux distribution that makes it simpler to reuse old computers as servers in this way: it gives you a nice control panel to install and manage all kinds of apps you might want to run on your home server, + it handles the security part by having a user login page & helping you install an https certificate with letsencrypt.

***

to stream my music collection, i use navidrome. this software is available to install from the yunohost control panel, so it's straightforward to install. what it does is take a folder with all your music and lets you browse and stream it, either via its web interface or through a bunch of apps for android, ios, etc.. it uses the subsonic protocol, so any app that says it works with subsonic should work with navidrome too.

***

to listen to my music on my phone, i use DSub. It's an app that connects to any server that follows the subsonic API, including navidrome. you just have to give it the address of your home server, and your username and password, and it fetches your music and allows you to stream it. as mentionned previously, there's a bunch of alternative apps for android, ios, etc. so go take a look and make your pick. i've personally also used and enjoyed substreamer in the past. here are screenshots of both:

***

to listen to my music on my computer, i use tauon music box. i was a big fan of clementine music player years ago, but it got abandoned, and the replacement (strawberry music player) looks super dated now. tauon is very new to me, so i'm still figuring it out, but it connects to subsonic servers and it looks pretty so it's fitting the bill for me.

***

to download new music onto my server, i use slskd which is a soulseek client made to run on a web server. soulseek is a peer-to-peer software that's found a niche with music lovers, so for anything you'd want to listen there's a good chance that someone on soulseek has the file and will share it with you. the official soulseek client is available from the website, but i'm using a different software that can run on my server and that i can access anywhere via a webpage, slskd. this way, anytime i want to add music to my collection, i can just go to my server's slskd page, download the files, and they directly go into the folder that's served by navidrome.

slskd does not have a yunohost package, so the trick to make it work on the server is to use yunohost's reverse proxy app, and point it to the http port of slskd 127.0.0.1:5030, with the path /slskd and with forced user authentification. then, run slskd on your server with the --url-base slskd, --no-auth (it breaks otherwise, so it's best to just use yunohost's user auth on the reverse proxy) and --no-https (which has no downsides since the https is given by the reverse proxy anyway)

***

to keep my music collection organized, i use beets. this is a command line software that checks that all of the tags on your music are correct and puts the file in the correct folder (e.g. artist/album/01 trackname.mp3). it's a pretty complex program with a ton of features and settings, i like it to make sure i don't have two copies of the same album in different folders, and to automatically download the album art and the lyrics to most tracks, etc. i'm currently re-working my config file for beets, but i'd be happy to share if someone is interested.

that's my little system :) i hope it gives the inspiration to someone to ditch spotify for the new year and start having a personal mp3 collection of their own.

how did you get into game writing and VNs and such?? i did one freelance job a while back and loved it but since then its been so hard to get into the industry…. i keep getting rejected despite having writing experience/publication in other areas 😭

(omg I didn't realize I have a bunch of messages in my inbox oops) Unfortunately, my game industry work that pays the bills is mostly as QA director, for which we are contracted by other studios. I do writing for our own studio, but I tend to not pursue contract work for writing because I don't want the creative pressure. (Though I was spontaneously offered work on that by another studio recently, so who knows, maybe I'll cave XD) But I will tell you what I tell people who ask me how to get into the games industry. Sorry if you already know some of this, I can't tell from your profile how much experience you already have in the industry! >.< 1. Build a portfolio of game work. You can do this by participating in game jams, itch.io has tons of them running all the time. If you can find in-person game jams (such as the Global Game Jam), even better! They'll help you build connections. If you can show you have strong skills in branching narrative, that's a massive plus. (yeeeeah, this involves basically doing a lot of unpaid work in your free time. but hey, nobody else is getting paid for it either! game dev notoriously pays like shit anyway. XDDD as the joke goes, if we wanted to make money, we'd work in software dev.) 2. Go to where the game developers are. In person. I can't stress this enough. If you want work in the games industry, the best/easiest/quickest way to do it is to meet devs in person. Some people may argue this is not necessary and that you can find work online--in my opinion, those people are either very lucky or very hopeful. You can maybe find some work by hanging out in game dev spaces online, but from personal experience, every client our studio has EVER HAD was either someone we met in person or someone we were introduced to through someone we met in person. Every single one. Here's a list of ideas of places to meet developers: - IGDA meetups, see if there's a chapter in your area. (Or if there isn't and you have the time and ambition, maybe you could start one!) - Local non-IGDA dev groups, you can sometimes find these through Meetup or Facebook - If there are colleges in your area that offer game dev degrees, you could try asking their professors if they know of any local events - See if there are any local game studios in your area that would be able to point you toward the community. Game dev studios aren't just in big cities!! It's not necessarily comprehensive, but you can check out https://gamecompanies.com/map - Game conventions/expos such as PAX - Game developer conferences/events, such as GDC or language/engine-specific conferences such as PyCon (GDC is WAY more worth it than PAX, but extremely expensive. I don't advise going to either until you have a solid game plan of what you're looking for there. There are also organizations that are willing to sponsor people with less means and underrepresented perspectives to attend GDC, so make sure to investigate that!) (And if you do go to a major event like PAX or GDC, make sure to google the afterparties list) And final protip for attending any sort of in-person event: We don't use the word 'networking'. It is a cursed word. We are not networking. We're meeting new friends and like-minded creators. <3

I Hate Seeing Writers Not Making MoneySo Here Are 8 Ways to Make More as a Writer

Here’s the truth: great writing alone doesn’t guarantee great income.

I’ve seen too many talented writers underpaid, undervalued, or stuck in passion projects that don’t pay the bills. And it frustrates me — because writing is a skill that’s in demand everywhere. You just need to know how to position it, sell it, and scale it.

If you're ready to stop writing for exposure and start earning what you're worth, here are 8 practical, proven ways to make more money as a writer.

Freelance for High-Paying Clients (Not Content Mills)

You don’t need to accept \$20 blog posts when there are companies and entrepreneurs willing to pay \$300–\$1,000+ per article. The secret is targeting niches that need content to drive business, like:

SaaS and tech

Personal finance

Healthcare

B2B services

Pitch directly, build a niche portfolio, and learn how to charge by value, not word count.

✅ Pro Tip: Start by rewriting your services to focus on outcomes — like “I help SaaS brands attract customers with SEO content” vs. “I write blog posts.”

Offer Ghostwriting Services

Ghostwriting is one of the highest-paying forms of writing — and most clients don’t care about you getting credit; they care about results. You can ghostwrite:

LinkedIn thought leadership

Executive blogs

Nonfiction books

Email newsletters

It’s creative, lucrative, and repeatable.

✅ Rates: Ghostwritten LinkedIn posts can earn \$200–\$500/post. Books? Thousands.

Sell Digital Products

Turn your knowledge into scalable income with digital products like:

Ebooks

Notion templates

Writing guides

Pitching scripts

Once created, they can sell indefinitely with no ongoing labor. Perfect for writers with an audience or niche expertise.

✅ Tools: Use Gumroad, Payhip, or Podia to start selling fast.

Start a Paid Newsletter

If you love writing essays, storytelling, or niche commentary, why not monetize it with a paid newsletter? Services like Substack or Beehiiv let you build free + paid tiers.

You don’t need 10,000 subscribers — just 100 people paying \$5/month = \$6,000/year in recurring income.

✅ Best Niches: Personal finance, creator economy, niche analysis, industry trends.

Teach What You Know (Courses & Workshops)

Writers often forget — the way you write, think, and communicate is a teachable skill.

Package it into:

Online courses (e.g., “How to Write Better Cold Emails”)

Cohort-based workshops

Private coaching for new writers or business owners

✅ Platforms: Teachable, Circle, Maven, or even Zoom + Stripe to start.

Monetize with Affiliate Writing

If you write product-based content or reviews, affiliate marketing is a great passive income stream. You write once, and earn commissions every time someone buys through your link.

Best niches: Software, writing tools, education products, lifestyle gear.

✅ Pro Tip: Focus on high-ticket or recurring commissions (like SaaS tools).

License Your Writing

You can earn money by licensing your existing content to brands, newsletters, or websites. If you’ve written a high-performing article, offer a non-exclusive license to republish it for a fee.

Also consider:

Licensing quotes or content to marketers

Offering a “writing bundle” to creators or agencies

✅ This works well for evergreen, data-driven, or inspirational content.

Write for Yourself — Then Monetize It

Blogging, storytelling, or journaling can become income if you build a brand around it. Writers like Morgan Housel and Anne-Laure Le Cunff built huge audiences through consistent, personal writing — then monetized with books, speaking, courses, and sponsorships.

✅ Just start: Build your platform. Even 1,000 loyal readers can turn into six figures over time.

Final Thoughts

Writing is not a dead-end job. It's a high-leverage skill that can create freedom, income, and impact — if you treat it like a business.

If you’re a talented writer struggling to make money, it’s not a lack of skill. It’s usually a lack of strategy.

Pick one or two methods from this list. Go deep. Get paid.

And never again write “just for exposure.”

Medical Billing Services in Florida: 2024 Guide to Boost Revenue

Florida’s healthcare providers encounter a perfect storm of difficulties with the hurricane season, aging patients, and the intricate rules of Medicaid. Clinics lost over $4.7 million a year due to billing mistakes in 2023 alone, which is enough to hire more than 50 nurses throughout the state. This guide explores how medical billing services in Florida mitigate these issues through expert knowledge and advanced technology to stop revenue loss and streamline profits.

What Are Medical Billing Services? (And Ohio’s Reasons For The Need)

They are the financial lifeline of a clinic. Medical billing services in Florida manage the coding of the diagnosis and the appeals for denied claims. In Florida, it is more than just a contracting firm; it is a matter of survival.

Why Florida?

Medicare Mayhem: One of the most bizarre situations in America is that 32% of people living in Florida use Medicare Advantage plans, each with its own billing rules.

Hurricane Headaches: Correctly coding claims is a difficult task. After Hurricane Ian, clinics reported using ICD-10 code Z04.1 (disaster-related care) for more than 3000 claims.

Legal Landmines: The “Balance Billing” law in Florida means that a single coding mistake could incur a loss of more than $10,000 in fines.

5 Ways Florida Medical Billing Services Boost Revenue

Slash Denial Rates

AI software, like Claim Genius, is helping Miami clinics decrease denial rates. Denials due to discrepancies such as telehealth visit Cand PT code mismatches are flagged. These tools help reduce denials by 40%.

Speed Up Payments

If correctly coded, the Staywell program of Florida Medicaid processes case management claims (HCPCS code T1015) 15 days earlier than the stipulated payment period.

Ensure Compliance

By outsourcing coding to AAPC-certified specialists, Sunset Medical Group mitigated $250,000 in anticipated AHCA fines.

Cut Costs

HealthFirst Clinic of Orlando saves $67k a year by contracting billing out to Specialized-Billing.com.

Disaster-Proof Billing

Fort Myers clinics adopted cloud-based systems for billing and were able to submit 95% of claims on time after Hurricane Ian.

How to Choose the Best Medical Billing Partner in Florida

Ask These Questions:

“What is the ‘1115 Waiver’ rule and do your coders know Florida Medicaid's version?”

“Are claims manageable during the oncoming hurricane?”

Avoid These Pitfalls:

Companies with no local client references, like Jacksonville or Tallahassee clinics,

No HIPAA-compliant data centers are located in Florida.

Case Study: Tampa Clinic Recovered $220k in 6 Months

The Problem:

A primary care clinic in Tampa encountered a 45% denial rate because the practice used incorrect Medicaid codes for chronic care management (CPT 99490).

The Solution:

Engaged Specialized-Billing.com for:

In-house coding audits.

Training workshops on Florida Medicaid’s “Episodes of Care” program.

The Result:

Denials were reduced to 20% within three months.

Revenue of $220k recovered, funding two additional exam rooms.

Future Trends in Florida Medical Billing

RevCycleAI denial prediction tools forecast Medicaid denials for submission and AI-driven denial predictions are now possible.

Telehealth Boom: New modifiers like 95 for real-time telehealth are mandated by Florida’s Senate Bill 1606.

Blockchain Security: Unity Health of Miami hospital network securely shares patient data across more than 10 hospitals using blockchain technology.

Conclusion

Nothing illustrates the ever-changing Florida billing landscape better than an unpredictable summer storm. However, the chaos can be transformed into seamless cash flow with the right medical billing partner. Specialized-Billing.com utilizes AI-driven technology with on-the-ground knowledge to ensure Florida clinics flourish, even during hurricane season.

How to Choose the Best ERP for Engineering and Manufacturing Industry

In today’s fast-paced world, engineering and manufacturing companies face increasing pressure to deliver high-quality products while maintaining efficiency and cost-effectiveness.  Implementing the right Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software can significantly enhance operations, streamline workflows, and boost productivity.  However, with numerous options available, selecting the best ERP software for the engineering and manufacturing industry can be challenging.  This guide will help you navigate this decision-making process and choose the most suitable solution for your business.

Why ERP is Crucial for Engineering and Manufacturing

ERP software integrates various business processes, including production, inventory management, supply chain, finance, and human resources.  For engineering and manufacturing companies, ERP solutions are particularly vital because they:

Facilitate real-time data sharing across departments.

Enhance supply chain management.

Optimize production planning and scheduling.

Ensure compliance with industry standards.

Reduce operational costs.

Partnering with the right Engineering ERP software company ensures that your organization leverages these benefits to stay competitive in a dynamic market.

Steps to Choose the Best ERP for Engineering and Manufacturing

1.  Understand Your Business Needs

Before exploring ERP solutions, evaluate your company’s specific requirements.  Identify the pain points in your current processes and prioritize the features you need in an ERP system.  Common features for engineering and manufacturing companies include:

Bill of Materials (BOM) management

Production planning and scheduling

Inventory control

Quality management

Financial reporting

Consulting with a reputed ERP software company can help you match your needs with the right features.

2.  Look for Industry-Specific Solutions

Generic ERP software might not address the unique needs of the engineering and manufacturing sector.  Opt for an ERP software in India that offers modules tailored to your industry.  Such solutions are designed to handle specific challenges like multi-level BOM, project costing, and shop floor management.

3.  Check Vendor Expertise

Choosing a reliable vendor is as important as selecting the software itself.  Research ERP solution providers with a strong track record in serving engineering and manufacturing companies.  Look for reviews, case studies, and client testimonials to gauge their expertise.

4.  Evaluate Scalability and Flexibility

Your business will grow, and so will your operational requirements.  Ensure that the ERP system you choose is scalable and flexible enough to accommodate future needs.  The top 10 ERP software providers in India offer scalable solutions that can adapt to changing business demands.

5.  Assess Integration Capabilities

An ERP system must integrate seamlessly with your existing tools, such as Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software, Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems, and IoT devices.  A well-integrated system reduces redundancies and enhances efficiency.

6.  Prioritize User-Friendliness

A complex system with a steep learning curve can hinder adoption.  Choose an ERP software with an intuitive interface and easy navigation.  This ensures that your employees can use the system effectively without extensive training.

7.  Consider Customization Options

No two businesses are alike.  While standard ERP solutions offer core functionalities, some companies require customization to align with specific workflows.  A trusted ERP software company in India can provide custom modules tailored to your unique needs.

8.  Focus on Data Security

Engineering and manufacturing companies often deal with sensitive data.  Ensure that the ERP solution complies with the latest security standards and offers robust data protection features.

9.  Compare Pricing and ROI

While cost is an important factor, it should not be the sole criterion.  Evaluate the long-term return on investment (ROI) offered by different ERP software.  A slightly expensive but feature-rich solution from the best ERP software provider in India may deliver better value than a cheaper alternative with limited functionalities.

10.  Test Before You Commit

Most ERP software companies offer free trials or demo versions.  Use these opportunities to test the software in a real-world scenario.  Gather feedback from your team and ensure the solution meets your expectations before finalizing your decision.

Benefits of Partnering with the Best ERP Software Providers in India

India is home to some of the leading ERP software providers in India, offering state-of-the-art solutions for the engineering and manufacturing sector.  Partnering with a reputable provider ensures:

Access to advanced features tailored to your industry.

Reliable customer support.

Comprehensive training and implementation services.

Regular updates and enhancements to the software.

Companies like Shantitechnology (STERP) specialize in delivering cutting-edge ERP solutions that cater specifically to engineering and manufacturing businesses.  With years of expertise, they rank among the top 10 ERP software providers in India, ensuring seamless integration and exceptional performance.

Conclusion

Selecting the right ERP software is a critical decision that can impact your company’s efficiency, productivity, and profitability.  By understanding your requirements, researching vendors, and prioritizing features like scalability, integration, and security, you can find the perfect ERP solution for your engineering or manufacturing business.

If you are looking for a trusted ERP software company in India, consider partnering with a provider like STERP.  As one of the best ERP software providers in India, STERP offers comprehensive solutions tailored to the unique needs of engineering and manufacturing companies.  With their expertise, you can streamline your operations, improve decision-making, and stay ahead in a competitive market.
