QAD Success Story: Global Structural Company Chooses QAD
Posted on: November 30, 2016 | By: Craig Thompson | QAD Practice News
Upgrading to a new ERP system is a hefty task for any organization to take on. With such large scale projects, it’s important to ensure that your ERP implementation project runs smoothly the first time around. One of the best ways to ensure that you are making the right ERP decision is to compare your current situation to case studies of the partner you’re considering working with, that way you have a basic understanding of how they handle clients of your size, industry and similar pain points.
Logan Consulting’s team of QAD consultants have compiled a variety of case studies to showcase a variety of different QAD success stories in many different industries. Below is a case study from a leading Global Structural Component Producer that implemented QAD EA 2011SE.
The Client:
A Mexican auto-parts maker purchases a large structural product business, which includes ten manufacturing plants in the U.S., Argentina, Australia, Brazil and Venezuela that produce structural components for chassis and body structures in light and commercial vehicles. The company’s US operations were focused at three plants in Kentucky.
The Opportunity
The US plants in Kentucky were running an antiquated, early ERP system called MANMAN. Other entities of this business around the world were running QAD Standard Edition and the strategic IT decision was made to convert the three US plants in Kentucky to QAD 2011 Standard Edition (SE) using .NET UI, Production Schedule Workbenches, and EDI.
Logan Consulting was to manage the project and provide implementation consulting for the project, working closely with the company’s IT team.
