After successfully creating job estimating software, Henning Software realized it would need to keep expanding their software offerings into a fully developed ERP system in order to grow in the market.
According to ProductionMachining.com:
From the early DOS days of desktop computing to Microsoft Windows 10, Henning Software in Hudson, Ohio, has been a leader in providing solutions for small and medium manufacturing shops for more than 25 years. Before starting Henning Software in 1990, husband and wife, Richard and Billie Henning, saw a void in the market for affordable software designed for small to medium manufacturing shops. Mrs. Henning, whose family owned a screw machine shop, thought that if her knowledge of the industry could be paired with her husband’s knowledge of the software industry, the two could deliver a product that could fulfill that niche. After successfully creating job estimating software, Henning Software realized it would need to keep expanding their software offerings into a fully developed ERP system in order to grow in the market.
“At the time, most of ERP software available was minicomputer based and priced upwards of $50,000, which was too expensive for smaller shops,” Mrs. Henning says, co-owner of Henning Software. “We thought we could make something better, but we needed more than job estimating software. We needed our software to manage all operational and accounting areas of a manufacturing business.”
