WHY RDS?
In 2000 Sammontana decided to see in the new century with the implementation of an ERP system produced and distributed by an international software house; unfortunately, this solution lacked important functions in production management, sales and analytical and management accounting. These omissions were resolved with the implementation of program extensions which entailed further project phases.
The active cycle was not planned to be implemented in the first phase of the project; the service was provided by the legacy system with personalised programs.In 2001 with the imminent arrival of the euro, an analysis of the coverage of the ERP system of corporate sales needs satisfied only 20-30% of corporate requirements.
It highlighted particular difficulties for the correct management of product handling and invoicing that presented our company with some serious problems.
We decided to perform a corporative reorganisation that required the connection of our 17 branches to company headquarters, the adoption of a specific program for headquarters’ corporate needs and the needs of the mobile branch warehouses (Sales Agents), interfaced by the ERP system.
In 2006 a significant international player decided to up-grade its software thereby presenting us with a new realignment project of our customised reality. The company, with advice from skilled personnel about the difficulties that the project entailed, requested the substitution of the preexisting package with a simpler solution, able to enhance performance while guaranteeing greater efficiency and interfacing with other systems.
We chose RDS because they knew how to answer our needs relating to:
- Administration Finance and Control
- Industrial Accounting in purchasing and production
- Management and Reporting Control
In accordance with Italian corporate legislation, we were guaranteed support skills for the production cycle & for purchasing, taking into account our particularities regarding purchase orders & discounts.
WHAT ARE RDS’ ADDED VALUES COMPARED TO TO THE COMPETITION?
- Maximum support and assistance
- Simpler ERP approach
- Efficiency and punctuality (in 6 months the project was operational, as promised)
HOW WOULD YOU DEFINE RDS?
RDS is a reliable & straight-forward partner with appropriate implementation costs; a partner that lives up to expectations.
