ETO ERP Leader Encompix Proves Right for Glass Reinforce Gypsum
Manufacturer Formglas
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."
