Soutec Soudronic AG, a provider of l aser welding equipment and quality inspection systems , will deploy Infor ERP COM. The solution will help Soutec, based in Neftenbach , Switzerland , to monitor its project-based business at any process phase and facilitate financial control. Soutec expects to improve resource allocation, plant utilisation and overall efficiency.
When Soutec learned that support for its legacy enterprise solution would be terminated, the company started an extensive evaluation, looking at 13 vendors. Apart from deep domain expertise, the main vendor selection criterion was a high market ranking and financial stability. As the third largest provider of enterprise software solutions worldwide, Infor qualified with its numerous good global IEM references.
Soutec chose Infor ERP COM for its extensive business-specific functionality and built-in industry experience. The intuitive user guidance helps to run dynamic analyses, providing Soutec with end-to-end views of on-going projects. With Infor ERP COM, Soutec also introduces CRM functionality to the organisation, helping to improve customer service and support.
"Infor ERP COM helps us to improve our project controlling by delivering an end-to-end view on our day-to-day business. This is one of our most important management tools to run our operations as efficiently and profitable as possible," says Hans Inhelder, Director Productionplanning & Project Leader ERP at Soutec Soudronic AG. " The solution covers most of our requirements as a project manufacturer out-of-the-box so we expect little to no customisation. This will have a positive impact on the actual deployment time and total cost of ownership .
