Proalpha Presents ERP Release 9.5
Setting a new benchmark for innovation, integration and sustainability in the manufacturing industry
Weilerbach, 25 June 2025 – The Proalpha Group, one of the leading providers of ERP and business applications for mid-market companies, presents the latest version of its Enterprise Resource Planning solution Proalpha ERP. Release 9.5 set a new benchmark in the integration of production and quality management, the use of artificial intelligence (AI), ESG reporting, and collaboration with customers and partners in implementing industry-specific and best practice solutions.
The new release 9.5 seamlessly integrates Proalpha's manufacturing execution system (MES) and quality management system (CAQ) into the Proalpha Business Application Suite, taking production control to a new level. Companies benefit from end-to-end processes that range from production planning to quality management and enable production managers to monitor work orders in real time, optimize cycle times, and process high-quality process data directly.
Thanks to the innovative integration strategy and open architecture of the Proalpha Business Application Suite, applications can be operated in hybrid mode, offering maximum flexibility. Customers can flexibly operate hybrid IT landscapes, for example by running the MES solution on-premises while using the CRM system in the cloud. Thanks to open interfaces, existing systems can be integrated flexibly, enabling the implementation of custom integration scenarios.
AI and sustainability – Proalpha is actively shaping innovation
In the field of artificial intelligence (AI), the Proalpha Group offers a wide range of AI-powered apps that automate and optimize processes and add significant value. For instance, it is possible to identify and eliminate inefficiencies in production processes by analyzing and comparing planned and actual production times. This leads to a considerable reduction in production cycle times, providing a clear competitive edge for manufacturing companies.
Sustainability is also becoming increasingly important for manufacturing companies from a regulatory perspective - both directly and indirectly. With new ESG features in Proalpha ERP companies can now calculate the Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) for each component and every manufacturing process directly within the system at the push of a button. The energy and carbon footprint of a component are made fully transparent and traceable. This marks an important step toward consistent sustainability in manufacturing and dependable fulfillment of legal reporting obligations.
Enhanced collaboration and even more intensive exchange with customers
As part of the new ERP release 9.5, the Proalpha Group is also expanding its active collaboration with customers in discrete manufacturing. Within the Proalpha User Group (AWK), active knowledge exchange with customers is specifically encouraged through work groups, visitor programs and idea workshops, promoting solutions that are precisely tailored to the needs of the industry.
"For many of the new features in release 9.5, we have developed tailored solutions for our cus-tomers' specific requirements through close collaboration." Otmar Zewald, Senior Vice President Product Management, Proalpha Group |

Zewald emphasizes: "This customer-centric philosophy forms the foundation of a profound understanding of our customers’ needs. It enables us to consistently create solutions that best support our customers and provide them with a competitive edge in the long term."
"Many requirements and ideas developed together with users in AWK work groups have been implemented in the new Proalpha release," adds Thomas Schmidt, managing director of the Proalpha User Group. "Customers benefit from more efficiency, transparency and sustainability while playing an active role in shaping the digital transformation. Together with about 150 customers organized in the User Group, Proalpha develops industry-specific solutions and promotes the exchange of best practices, roadmaps and developments through numerous events and new formats. This ensures targeted customer involvement and strengthens active dialog."
