Software to support financial directors
In the current worrying business climate, software company, Progressive
Solutions, is appealing to financial directors to take full advantage of features
built into their business management software to identify potential credit
hazards, to streamline credit control and to spot reliable financial trends.
To provide as much support as possible with this task for its merchant, distributor
and wholesaler customers, the company has appointed Ian Knox(pictured right) as a
financial management consultant. Ian’s role will allow him to provide a link between
the sales and implementation departments at Progressive and the financial staff and
board members of new and existing customers.
“Today, businesses need to react almost instantaneously to credit hazards as soon as
they potentially arise,” explains Ian. “Consequently, we need to ensure that users of
our bisTrack system are getting the full benefit of its features and that credit
controllers’ ‘Dashboards’ are set up to capture sensitive information as and when
scenarios arise, ensuring a timely decision is made and any possible financial damage
is thwarted.” Ian will also advise customers how bisTrack’s Data Rules Manager can be
maintained to escalate credit control procedures.
“This module automates what historically has been an extremely labour intensive
process of phone calls, letters and dealing with legal bodies etc. By maximising the
capabilities of the software, this task can be made so much slicker and, once again,
tighten up a company’s credit risk and/or exposure.”
HellermannTyton goes live with Solarsoft
HellermannTyton, a provider of cable management products based in Manchester, UK, has “gone-live” with Agile Logistics – Solarsoft
Business Systems’ warehouse and logistics solution.
The implementation was the final stage in a new company-wide ‘finite capacity’ production and distribution process, which will allow
HellermannTyton to run with ‘zero inventory’ and therefore negate the need for expensive warehouse facilities.
Bob Harris, site director at HellermannTyton, comments, “Solarsoft’s Agile Logistics solution was fully implemented according to schedule,
allowing us to complete the full integration of the new logistics system over the designated weekend and be shipping out to our customers on
the following Monday.”
Harris concludes, “Solarsoft has become the backbone of our warehouse and supply chain operations, providing us with the confidence that
we are building a modern, scalable IT infrastructure that will help support the management of our day-to-day business activities, whilst also
allowing further business expansion.”
Solarsoft says that it offers a comprehensive integrated business system for merchants, distributors and manufacturing companies. It enables
business growth to be controlled and profitable through automating business processes leading to better customer service, a reduction in capital
tied up in stock, improved margins, improved credit control and better visibility of sales and management information.
Infor sparks production at Bolton Conductive
Infor has announced Bolton Conductive Systems, a manufacturer of electrical systems for the automotive, military and other industries,
has selected Infor ERP VISUAL, a robust enterprise resource planning system for small to midsized companies in the automotive and
discrete manufacturing industries.
ERP VISUAL addresses the company's front office, back office, manufacturing, engineering, distribution, and business performance needs and will
enable Bolton Conductive, which recently doubled its sales, to boost profitability through increased inventory visibility and enhanced planning and
scheduling.
Sold and serviced through Infor Channel Partner Visual Business Solutions, Infor says its ERP VISUAL system provides Bolton Conductive greater
visibility into the precise inventory levels required to increase production to meet its higher demand. Additionally, the planning and scheduling
functionality of Infor's software will provide the company insight into production levels and requirements to deliver goods to customers to meet its
just-in-time production agenda.
"We considered several ERP systems and ultimately selected Infor ERP VISUAL because we knew that the solution had the flexibility to change
and grow with us over time," said Bill Bolton, owner, Bolton Conductive Systems. "Infor's unique approach to Service Oriented Architecture gave us
the confidence that as we evolve as a company, we can seamlessly add new functionality without disrupting our business. We know that Infor's
dedication to deliver new functionality to ERP VISUAL will mean the system will continue to be the best solution for us and will keep our total cost
of ownership low."
Bolton Conductive Systems, located in Walled Lake, Mich., USA, plans to deploy ERP VISUAL at its 80,000 sq/ft manufacturing facility, where the
company produces electrical systems for major OEMs including GM, Saturn and Cobasys.
