Cetec ERP was founded by seasoned ERP specialists with a desire to help businesses run their operations more efficiently. This desire led to a cloud-native platform with innovative features, available at a fraction of the cost of the typical ERP system.
Cetec ERP provides a web-based, fully integrated business suite for manufacturers and distributors. We believe that ERP systems can be delivered in a practical, logical, and lower cost manner that will dramatically help small and mid-sized companies. We are committed to working closely with manufacturing companies around the world who want to take advantage of a completely full-suite platform. Our platform includes supply chain and inventory control, CRM and purchasing, production tracking and scheduling, quality control, accounting and financials. With a platform that is at once enterprise-caliber and extremely user friendly, Cetec ERP aims to become a trusted standard for both financials and operations excellence on behalf of manufacturers old and new looking to be smart about business software.
Our Austin, Texas team has grown to include accounting, operations, and manufacturing veterans. Our goal is to help customers streamline their day-to-day tasks and grow their businesses without the hassle and cost associated with traditional ERP systems.

In the past decade, Jordan has helped companies use the new Cetec ERP platform to scale their finance and operations, and is eager about the future of Cetec ERP and the value that this new and extremely practical platform can bring to growing companies. His greatest accomplishment was convincing his high school sweetheart Kayla to marry him and spawning four whipper-snappers in the time since.
