Selling ERP and MRP systems is a brutally tough game. With quotas to meet, some sales reps will say or do anything to get your business. So keep in mind that resellers and sales reps are under a lot of pressure to get your business and often do whatever it takes to get the sale.

Because you only purchase a manufacturing software package once or twice in your career, you are at a complete disadvantage because the sales rep knows all the tricks and you don?t.

Does that put you at a disadvantage? Of course, its tough making a decision when you have so little experience in judging the merits and features of each software offering.

As well, you have to make judgement calls on whether the software of choice is actually going to provide any bottom line impact to your business, i.e. provide value.

Yes, we implement manufacturing software, but we provide the expertise and experience to help you identify the key measures and processes necessary to utilise that software to your utmost advantage.

Understanding the critical 20% of your manufacturing software allows you to achieve and maintain your business goals, such as:

• Achieving maximum throughput with least cost, or
• Maximising customer services with least cost, or
• Reducing Inventory and operating expenses while increasing throughput,
• Or whatever your business goal may be.

One of value adding services we feel very strong about is Finite Capacity Scheduling and Advanced Scheduling and Planning.

Why? because ERP software tells you that you have customers, products and costs, but doesn?t tell you how to put them together in a way that will meet your goals.

We help small and medium businesses to grow while maximizing their investments in existing systems and processes. We put technology at your service.
