Optional ERP Modules for Specific Business Needs
ERP modules can help businesses extend their software as operational requirements change. Aquilon ERP offers optional modules for specialized accounting, purchasing, manufacturing, and administrative needs. As a result, businesses can select additional functionality that supports their specific processes.
Available options include Fixed Assets Management, Landed Cost Tracking, Contact Management, Estimating for Manufactured Products, and Canadian Payroll. Businesses can add these modules during implementation or consider them later as their requirements evolve.

Fixed Assets Management
Fixed Assets Management supports companies that want to track business assets within their ERP environment. Therefore, businesses can evaluate this module alongside their existing financial and accounting processes.
Because asset management requirements can vary, we recommend reviewing your specific needs during an Aquilon demonstration.
Landed Cost Tracking
Landed Cost Tracking can be particularly useful for importers and distributors that want a clearer understanding of the costs associated with obtaining inventory.
For example, distributors may need to evaluate costs beyond the original purchase price of a product. Landed Cost Tracking can support this process within the broader Aquilon ERP environment.
In addition, distributors may choose to use this module alongside Purchase Order Management and Inventory Management.
Contact Management
Contact Management helps businesses organize information about their business relationships.
Depending on your company’s processes, this information may support sales, purchasing, administration, or other business activities. Therefore, reviewing your contact management requirements can help determine whether this optional module fits your workflow.
Estimating for Manufactured Products
Manufacturers that produce custom items may need to prepare estimates before production begins. Aquilon’s Estimating for Manufactured Products module supports this part of the manufacturing process.
In addition, manufacturers can evaluate this option alongside Product Definition, Work-In-Progress, and Production Requirements and Planning for Manufactured Items.
Together, these ERP modules can support different stages of the manufacturing process, depending on how your business estimates, produces, and manages its products.
Canadian Payroll
Canadian Payroll is another optional Aquilon module. It is available for businesses evaluating how payroll fits within their Canadian operations.
However, payroll requirements can vary significantly between businesses. Therefore, we recommend reviewing your specific payroll needs and the module’s current functionality before deciding whether it is appropriate for your organization.
Choose ERP Modules That Fit Your Business
Optional ERP modules should support the processes your business actually needs rather than add unnecessary functionality.
For example, a distributor may prioritize Landed Cost Tracking alongside Purchase Order Management and Inventory Management. Meanwhile, a manufacturer may consider Estimating for Manufactured Products together with Product Definition and Work-In-Progress.
A company that combines distribution and manufacturing may need a different mix of modules. Therefore, module selection should consider the processes you want to manage, the information employees need to enter, and the reports managers need to review.
Extend Aquilon ERP as Your Needs Change
Business requirements can change over time. Consequently, the ERP functionality you need today may differ from what you need as your company grows or your processes become more complex.
Aquilon’s optional modules connect with its broader range of financial, distribution, and manufacturing functionality. This gives businesses the opportunity to evaluate additional capabilities as operational requirements develop.
