Rootstock Takes Manufacturing to the Cloud

Since launching in 2008, Rootstock has been helping midsize manufacturers lower costs and improve efficiency with its powerful solution that requires minimal IT investment. Rootstock was built to be 100 percent native to the Force.com platform, the leading cloud computing platform from Salesforce.com.

As a result of being a native to Force.com, Rootstock seamlessly integrates with sales and accounting applications from Salesforce.com, along with NetSuite and other leading providers. In an effort to extend the use and functionality of its solution, Rootstock recently partnered with FinancialForce.com, resulting in an end-to-end accounting and supply chain system. With this partnership, companies can leverage a complete solution built with integrated applications that streamline supply chain processes across the organization.

In addition to being native to the Force.com platform, Rootstock is delivered via the cloud, enabling businesses to quickly deploy a fully featured system. Rootstock’s cloud offering also allows businesses to gain visibility throughout all their operations, from multiple sites to outsourced manufacturing, by allowing companies to manage their supply chain and manufacturing operations in real time and from anywhere at any time.

Rootstock is built to meet the business requirements of manufacturers who operate in a broad range of modes, including Build to Stock, Build to Order, Configure to Order, Engineer to Order, Project and mixed mode manufacturing. Standard features include Materials Requirement Planning, Sales Order Management, Lot and Serial Control, Shop Floor Control, Scheduling and Capacity Planning and more.



Rootstock is managed and run by a team with years of experience in providing enterprise solutions to manufacturers. Sensing a need in the market for a SaaS solution that could deliver deep manufacturing functionality, Rootstock CEO Pat Garrehy and his team developed Rootstock to provide midmarket manufacturers with a Cloud solution that could meet their operational requirements. Today, Rootstock serves customers such as Astrum Solar, Jawbone, P3 Medical and others.

Rootstock is unique in its market for its integration with both the NetSuite and Salesforce.com platform. In addition, Rootstock is scalable for a broad range of businesses, from just a handful of users to multi-site organizations. Thanks to strategic partnerships with leading providers, Rootstock is positioning itself to become a leader in providing cloud-based manufacturing applications that provide a strong base for organization efficiency and growth.
