Epicor Software Corporation (NASDAQ: EPIC), a leading provider of
enterprise business software solutions for the midmarket and
divisions of Global 1000 companies, today announced that Rutland
Plastics, a leading UK plastic injection moulding company, will be
implementing Epicor next-generation enterprise resource planning
(ERP). The Epicor solution will replace Rutland Plastics' existing
aging systems and manage the company's 24-hour manufacturing
business.
Rutland Plastics employs 100 people at its Oakham site, with
24-hour operation, five days a week, and an annual turnover of
£7.5m. The company currently uses two systems, one for finance and
the other developed in the mid-90s to meet their specific
manufacturing needs. The new Epicor solution will replace both
these systems overseeing manufacturing, production planning,
quality control, finance, sales and plant maintenance.
"Our existing systems were making it very difficult to get the
reports and management information that we needed to run the
business, and no development had taken place on our manufacturing
software for about 15 years," said Steve Ayre, IT manager at
Rutland Plastics. "Epicor will allow us to create reports as
needed, expand the way we use technology, and have a fully
integrated IT system with no double entry errors between
systems."
Rutland Plastics intends to use the Epicor system not just to
replace and consolidate its infrastructure, but to allow the
company to begin to utilize live shop floor data, and barcoding
technology to track warehouse locations and the movement of
products through the site.
"We reviewed a total of ten systems when we were selecting the
replacement system, and most required additional third party
software to meet the needs of our industry. Epicor had everything
we needed built in, and we could see that it would more
straightforward than the other solutions to implement," added Ayre.
"There are many features in Epicor that will allow us to develop
and refine our business operations for many years to come."
"Managing a 24-hour manufacturing operation can be very complex,
particularly if you don't have the systems to support effective
production scheduling," said James Norwood, senior vice president,
worldwide product marketing for Epicor. "It's exciting for us to
see not only how Rutland Plastics can benefit now from Epicor now,
but how they plan to use it to expand their use of technology in
the future."
