About MISys Manufacturing

Manufacturing Information Systems, Inc. is the developer of MISys Manufacturing, inventory and manufacturing management software designed for growing manufacturers.

Our Mission

To develop software that helps manufacturers thrive.

We help manufacturers:

  • Gain visibility into inventory, production, and purchasing
  • Add powerful manufacturing capabilities to the accounting software they already trust
  • Improve efficiency and profitability with enterprise-level functionality at a small-business price

Our Story

Founded in 1977, Manufacturing Information Systems was built on a simple idea: develop inventory and manufacturing software that integrates with leading accounting systems, making advanced manufacturing tools accessible to small and mid-sized businesses.

Our first product, MISys SAE, integrated with Accpac (now Sage 300) and served medium-sized manufacturers around the world through the Accpac partner network. The software was implemented in more than 40 countries and established MISys as a trusted name in manufacturing software.

As the needs of smaller manufacturers evolved, we developed MISys Manufacturing with integrations for Sage 50 US, Sage 50 Canada, and QuickBooks Desktop. Today, MISys Manufacturing also integrates with Sage Intacct and QuickBooks Online, helping manufacturers gain control of inventory, production, purchasing, and costing without the cost and disruption of replacing their accounting software with a full ERP.

Employee Owned

In 2018, the company's founders transitioned ownership to its employees through an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). As an employee-owned company, every member of our team shares a commitment to delivering exceptional software, service, and long-term value to our customers.
