Manufacturing Leader and Kaizen Expert Partners with xTuple
Norfolk, Virginia, and Meridian, Idaho (USA) (PRWEB) May 10, 2016 -- xTuple, global leader in commercial open source business management software for growing companies, announces its partnership with the newly formed consultancy, Jacobs ERP Solutions LLC. xTuple and Jacobs together will deliver enterprise resource planning (ERP) technology solutions to small- to medium-sized distributors and manufacturers in the American Pacific Northwest, covering the states of Idaho, Washington, Montana and Utah.
Most recently, founder Wes Jacobs served as general manager for a small Ohio-based manufacturing company, Creamer Metal, that implemented xTuple Enterprise Edition. After 40 years of manufacturing management experience, 30 years of which were spent in actively implementing and managing ERP systems, Wes decided he could help others grow their businesses with modern software tools. His experience with successful implementations of xTuple at two different growth-oriented organizations worked so well that he decided to sell and implement the ERP software to others with similar operational needs.
Wes’s background includes continuous improvement, from HP pull manufacturing to the Toyota production system, and he has in-depth knowledge in change management. Wes has implemented Kaizen events, including daily associate huddles to visual constraint boards to bring visibility to process waste.
As a xTuple Solution Provider, Jacobs ERP Solutions handles the entire business management process “end-to-end” — from requirements’ development to software selection to implementation and training to operations.
“Wes’s unique evolution with xTuple, having started off as a customer evaluating multiple packages before choosing and installing xTuple, makes him an invaluable resource to his customers. He understands the real-life demands of business software and the positive implications a comprehensive ERP, installed correctly can have on the success of a business,” said Danielle Kerner, director or partner channel business development.
