4 Work Scenarios That Warrant Automation

Business are always on the lookout for ways to streamline their activities, and for many, the first step is putting a fully-integrated enterprise resource planning system (ERP) in place. Doing this can dramatically change the way businesses operate, making their practices more efficient.

But things can be made even easier when the system is automated. By combining automation with an ERP system, your company can get a big leg up in your industry.

Her are a few scenarios where automation just makes sense.

1. Lack of Accountability Among Employees
Many employees have a lot of integrity, but some don’t. If you have some employees on your staff that make mistakes and are not known for taking responsibility for them, automation of your ERP system could work well.

Ceramic Tile Retailer/Wholesaler Cuts Losses, Expands Business with Industry Specific ERP Software

Ton Holten began in the ceramic tile industry driving tile-laden tractor-trailers for a Dutch forwarding company from the far reaches of two continents back to his native Holland. In the 1980s, the Holten family moved to Canada and began Tilemaster, a retail and construction industry supplier in Aurora, Ontario, where it provides a vast array of metal, stone, slate and marble tiles, as well as countertops and related products.

Early on at Tilemaster, Holten moved company accounting from paper ledgers to the computer, where Vigilant point of sale and inventory control software helped Holten control his business for over 20 years. But faced with a growing demand for tile fueled by a boom in local house building and a healthy economy, Holten moved Tilemaster from its original location to another in Aurora and opened a second store in Barrie, about 25 miles away.

In 2005, Holten upgraded Tilemaster’s accounting software to Oneir […]

ERP software helps metal supplier grow

NEW YORK — With a growing number of manufacturers, machine shops, tool and die makers and contractors in the Delaware Valley around Philadelphia requiring metal parts, business is good for Metal Stock Inc., a small-quantity metal supplier.

Most metal vendors and distributors in the region consolidated service centers and catered mostly to those buying large volumes. In contrast, Philadelphia- based Metal Stock kept its focus on smaller buyers who need fast, efficient service and a wide selection.

By fall 2005, both Bell and his controller, Corinne Wightman, knew that to handle the company’s swelling sales volume profitably they needed enterprise resource planning (ERP) software with more power and capacity to manage key business functions through one shared information database.

They called in computer consultant […]
