SYSPRO, the leading provider of visionary, pragmatic ERP software, has today announced that Lake Zurich, Ill.-based Fairchild Industries, a major, worldwide supplier of top quality extruded rubber, molded rubber, molded plastic, extruded plastic products and elastomer solutions, has selected SYSPRO Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software to improve business process, boost operational efficiencies and facilitate company growth.
According to Kyle Sprecher, Fairchild Industries Engineer, Fairchild had been utilizing a custom-built, DOS-based program for financial and inventory management. “We realized that the business process improvements and customer service enhancements needed to facilitate company growth were beyond the capabilities of our current software,” he says.
Noting that the company’s approach to seeking a new software solution was taken “very seriously,” Sprecher states, “We vetted candidates against a massive requirements document we generated internally.” After a lengthy evaluation process that included scrutiny of software from Epicor, Sage, Exact and Microsoft Dynamics, Sprecher says SYSPRO ERP was the choice based on:
- SYSPRO’s commitment to its Reseller Channel and the strength of one its highly competent, mid-west based Resellers, who demonstrated the SYSPRO product as a wise fit for our business.
- SYSPRO is a company dedicated to making one contiguous product as opposed to other companies that offer a portfolio of packages, many of which are from acquired companies.
- SYSPRO is ideally suited to our company as a SMB, family-owned but growing business in the wholesale & distribution industry. The system offers us functionality that is core to our business today as well as in areas that we desire to one day encompass in our business, giving us an ongoing ROI.
- SYSPRO takes full advantage of Microsoft technology thereby easing the training needed for our end users. In addition, the use of Microsoft technology assures us that SYSPRO can scale with our business and adapt to ongoing technological innovations in the marketplace.
Fairchild is looking to SYSPRO ERP to deliver:
- Improved control and forecasting of inventory
- Improved efficiency of business processes and workforce productivity
- Improved customer insight and financial performance
- Improved visibility and tracking of orders received and issued
- Improved interoperability with customers via web integration and potentially EDI
