Marketwired
Epicor Software Corporation (NASDAQ: EPIC), a leading provider of
enterprise business software solutions for the midmarket and
divisions of Global 1000 companies, today announced that global
flexible container manufacturer Fluid-Bag Ltd. will implement the
Epicor 9 next-generation enterprise resource planning (ERP)
solution. Fluid-Bag manufactures the most advanced flexible IBLC
system for handling liquids and pastes, and operates through a
network of distributors and partners worldwide.
"Our strategy is to increase turnover and grow the business
globally," said Jan Backman, managing director for Fluid-Bag. "To
support this growth we need better transparency and easy access to
data from across the business. We currently use a mix of
applications and databases for individual functions like accounting
and production, but with Epicor in place we will gain a single
system. This will help us avoid double entries between
applications, and achieve a detailed overview of the entire order
cycle, from initial order to delivery. It will also help us
calculate more accurate delivery time based on the level of work
load in the plant."
With offices in Finland and Thailand, Fluid-Bag manufactures and
sells its products to the chemical, pharmaceutical, ink, and
lubricants industries, to organizations such as Bayer Health Care,
Wacker Silicones, Frutarom, Shell and ExxonMobil. "One of the
reasons for why we chose Epicor is its ability to support us
globally," explained Backman. "We work with distributors in
far-flung places, and we have plans to open offices outside of
Europe. With Epicor we can move ahead with our expansion plans
confidently, and our staff gains a system they can work with in
their local language."
Other reasons for why Fluid-Bag chose Epicor included its modern
technology and flexible platform. "Out of the three systems we had
shortlisted, Epicor has the most modern interface," said Backman.
"It looks fresh and it's designed to be used in the modern work
place, supporting the modern way of thinking and working. We don't
want to invest our money in old fashioned technology. Epicor also
showed us that they understand how to sell an ERP solution; they
listened to us and understood our needs before they came with
suggestions."
"In short, Epicor hits the bull's eye for us. It has the right
functionality, is easy to use, flexible enough so that we can make
changes when needed, and it can grow with us," Backman
concluded.
Manufacturers all over the world enjoy Epicor's ease of use,
ability to adapt to business and industry-specific requirements,
and scale as they expand, change, and ultimately grow. "We offer
businesses a dynamic and collaborative platform for achieving a
truly integrated view of their business and value chain," said Matt
Muldoon, vice president product marketing for Epicor. "This ensures
that they can focus on growing their business and invest in
activities that support their end goals rather than maintain
various applications."
