Atul Swarup of Formglas Shares Objectives in ERP Software Leader
Encompix Decision
Formglas Inc., established in 1961, has for many years been the
leading manufacturer of architectural products for commercial
and residential projects using lightweight custom cast, glass
reinforced gypsum and cement composite primarily for casinos,
resorts, cruise ships, and retail chains. In addition, the
Company manufacturers CNC molds & patterns along with fireplace
surrounds.
According to Atul Swarup, V.P. Finance, Formglas had three main
objectives when selecting a new ERP system. "Currently we use
ACCPAC for accounting and a custom-developed system for
manufacturing and job tracking. Our goals are to have a single
integrated system company-wide, improve our decision making with
better information, and improve our project costing and
profitability analysis." Swarup led the selection team and
Formglas evaluated six other vendors before picking Encompix.
"We are a project-based manufacturer so it is essential that the
software fits our business. We want a single integrated system
that's easy to use and easy to implement -- we believe we have
found that with Encompix." According to ETO Institute
(www.etoinstitute.org) spokesperson, Thomas R. Cutler, "Encompix
continues to take the leadership role in technology solutions
for the Engineer-to-Order manufacturing sector. Too many
providers claim to have solutions for this specific process.
Encompix has consistently demonstrated a comprehensive
understanding of the ETO process and nuances and it's little
wonder that they hold the position of ETO marketshare leader."
Encompix (www.encompix.com) has filled the manufacturing
software requirements of Engineer-to-Order companies since 1992.
The company name reflects the commitment to developing business
application solutions that encompass the complex areas of
project-based and job-based manufacturing. Encompix provides ETO
manufacturers with a competitive advantage by improving bottom
line results.
