Manufacturer Adds Cost Effective Growth by Aligning Business Systems with Operations

SleeveCo, Inc. is a manufacturer of shrink and stretch sleeve labels in Dawsonville, GA, offering up to 11 color rotogravure printing and up to 8 color flexographic printing. Their ERP system did not support their sales process to configure parts, estimate costs and input orders. Workarounds imposed restrictions on fully utilizing the ERP system for scheduling, inventory management and shipping downstream. Spreadsheets to manage these processes added more inefficiencies and isolated operations information from the entire enterprise.
