Yes. Invoicing handles Minnesota sales tax (6.875% state rate plus local taxes) and the other states where you have nexus. If you or your customers want it, a custom ERP can connect to DBNAlliance through an accredited provider.
For English and Spanish, yes: current language models handle them well, including mixed-language messages. Support for Hmong is more limited, so we test with real customer messages before committing to it, and route anything the agent is unsure about to your team.
Usually one module that fixes the most expensive problem first. For manufacturing that is often bill of materials & routing and production planning (MRP). It goes live early, and the rest of the system follows in two-week increments while your team is already using it.
