According to Bob Steppe, vice president of operations, Prodomaxbelieves in supporting its customers by continually investing in new technologiesand manufacturing capabilities aimed at reducing costs and ultimately improving eachclientÂ's automation system. Striving to reduce delivery time and costs, Stepperecognized that ProdomaxÂ's existing information systems were a limiting factor.  Wesuffer from the classic  islands of informationÂ' problems such as duplicate dataentry, errors, late and partial information, he said.  We spend far too much timechasing and validating data instead of making decisions based on accurateinformation.Â

A perfect hand-in-glove fit to match ouroperations, such that we wonÂ't have to change our business processes to use thesoftware. Because it is so tailored to the way we do business, there arenÂ't a lot ofthe  bells and whistlesÂ' that you find in some of the more generic ERP packages thatultimately just confuse the user. We want a system that is easy to use and meets ourrequirements, and thatÂ's what Encompix offers.Â
