Studies) (Nasdaq: EPIC - News), a leading provider of integrated enterprise software solutions for midmarket companies, and its Latin America distributor, Technology Coast Partners (TCP), today announced that Cerrey has selected Epicor's Vantage software, a complete end-to-end manufacturing solution that addresses the front to back office core business needs of midsized make-to- order (MTO) and mixed-mode manufacturers.
Founded in 1961, Cerrey is a capital goods company distinguished by its consolidation of services and is the leading manufacturer of steam generators in Latin America. Cerrey's capabilities include design, fabrication, erection, start-up and maintenance of steam generation systems. As part of the company's globalization strategy, Cerrey participates in worldwide markets and plans to expand through technological leadership and marketing.
"We were looking for a manufacturing solution that would enable us to streamline all of our manufacturing operations," said Norberto Galindo, Information Technology Coordinator of Cerrey. "Epicor Vantage had the key functionality to support our engineer-to-order and project-based manufacturing environments, providing extensive shop floor control with built in workflows, and the finite scheduling and document management capabilities that we required. With its leading-edge service-oriented architecture, Epicor Vantage was clearly the solution that would suit our needs today and in the future.
Galindo continued, "Additionally, we were very pleased with the value- added services that Technology Coast Partners presented, including Epicor's proven implementation methodology and up-front guarantee that the implementation services won't exceed the price of the software, giving us the reassurance that we'll be able to achieve a rapid return on investment, and won't go over budget."
Optimized for rapid installation, low training costs, simple operation, easy modification, and cost-effective expansion, Vantage is used by more than 1,500 companies worldwide. Vantage is delivered 'out of the box' with built-in workflows that enable manufacturers to manage the entire order cycle: from Marketing and Sales through Production and Planning, Sourcing and Procurement, Installation and Service, and finally Financial recognition. Vantage enables the whole process to be real-time and paperless. Because the entire Vantage solution streamlines the order cycle, an enterprise can maximize its resources, minimize its costs and improve profitability.
