Encompix ETO ERP Selected by Automotive Industry Leader

Business/Technical Editors

Cincinnati, OH -- May 13, 2003 -- Kansas City manufacturer, Automatic Systems (ASI) recently had Encompix ETO (Engineer-to-Order) complete a fifty-seat ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) implementation in just ninety days. The speed of the implementation was critical for ASI to gain the immediate productivity, purchasing, and bottom-line benefits.

Automatic Systems is a designer and manufacturer of material handling systems for the automotive industry. A typical project for them is $10 million dollars in value and takes
12 --15 months to complete.

ASI evaluated ten ERP vendors before deciding on Encompix. "A key requirement was to select a project-based, not product-based system. Encompix demonstrated the ability to streamline our operation and eliminate the redundancy between engineering, purchasing and accounting," said George Martin, information technology manager.

Dave Warford, President & CEO of Cincinnati-based Encompix, stated, There are few ETO ERP systems, although many vendors make this claim. Many systems are adequate in a repetitive manufacturing environment, but only a few truly understand the engineer-to-order environment and have the unique functionality and ETO service experience to conduct an effective 90-day implementation."

Encompix is the leader in ERP solutions that enable engineer-to-order and project-based manufacturers to improve profits and on-time delivery. A quick, on-line questionnaire at the Encompix web site (www.encompix.com) allows potential users to determine if an engineer-to-order system is right for their manufacturing operation.
