Manufacturing Information Systems, Inc. (dba MISys, Inc.) was formed in 1977 with the charter to provide PC-based solutions to users who were not technically involved with their computers.

In the course of many successful installations, the company developed a nation-wide reputation for its in-depth knowledge of business accounting applications, particularly in the area of manufacturing.

The newfound expertise in PC-based accounting systems, led MISys to develop a manufacturing software product as an add-on to the Accpac Plus accounting series from ACCPAC International (AI), a division of Computer Associates International (CA). CA, headquartered in Islandia, New York, is the second largest independent software company in the world. CA's accounting products, Accpac Plus for DOS and Accpac Advantage for Windows are the best selling accounting packages worldwide.

In 1983, MISys released its first version of MISys/DOS Manufacturing Inventory which provided multi-level bills of material, inventory control of raw materials and resources, and integrated purchasing capabilities.

In 1985, MISys moved its corporate offices away from the Massachusetts minicomputer beltway to the Green Mountains of Vermont where it performs all of its software development, technical writing, production, training, sales, and support.

Since that time, MISys has continually refined its MISys/DOS Manufacturing System and its strategic relationship with Accpac International. In 1996 MISys was selected as ACCPAC Developer Of The Year for its products which make Accpac Advantage accounting the preferred solution for small- to medium-sized manufacturing firms.

In 1992, MISys introduced a major new product called MISys/DOS Manufacturing Scheduling which added full MRP/MPS capabilities to MISys/DOS Manufacturing Inventory. Using an innovative interactive approach to Material Requirements Planning (MRP) and Master Production Scheduling (MPS), MISys provided small- to medium-sized manufacturing firms with tools that were previously available only in complex and expensive minicomputer-based products.

In 1995, MISys added Serial/Lot Tracking to the MISys/DOS Manufacturing System. This product allows users to track the serial or lot numbers of raw materials and finished goods. MISys/DOS Serial/Lot Tracking and the extensive reporting capabilities of the MISys/DOS Manufacturing System allow manufacturers to comply with many of the requirements of ISO 9000.

Since its inception, MISys has sold over 6,500 copies of the popular MISys/DOS Manufacturing System. This system is sold and supported through a network of 1,700 resellers and installers in 38 countries. Resellers purchase the products through MISys' 18 distributors worldwide.

In early 1995, MISys started development of the MISys Manufacturing System for Windows based on Accpac for Windows accounting from Accpac International. MISys received the 1996 Developer Of The Year award for this development from Accpac International.

In 1997 MISys, Inc. released MISys Level 2, revealing it's multi-level approach to marketing MRP software which appeals to less sophisticated end-users with the low-end Level 1 product and offers an attractive upgrade path to Level 2. MISys Level 2 maintains Manufacturing Orders Production and performs Master Production Scheduling and Material Requirements Planning (MRP I).

In 1998, MISys, Inc. released MISys Level 3, which provides comprehensive Shop Floor Control functionality to those users who demand MRP II capabilities.

The MISys R&D Department began the development of a Microsoft .NET-based manufacturing system based on the proven functionality for the Accpac version (now called MISys SAE) in the Fall of 2005. After two years of intensive development and testing, MISys Small Business Manufacturing (MISys SBM) was released in March 2007. Since then, a number of product enhancements as well as additional function modules have been released.

MISys Small Business Manufacturing was identified as an "Awesome Add-on" for QuickBooks by the Sleeter Group at Sleeter's annual QuickBooks Partner Conference in October 2007.

From its headquarters in Woodstock, Vermont, MISys continues to develop its product line and its international marketing efforts as part of AI's Accpac Advantage accounting series (now Sage Accpac ERP). New and accessory products are being developed to compliment the popularity of its Windows-based MISys Manufacturing System.

Product brochures and fact sheets are available on the MISys Manufacturing System. A self-running demo is available from MISys, Inc. directly or downloaded from this Web site.
