Solarsoft delivers unprecedented integration and production control for Suncast
Suncast Corporation eliminates the need for 500 system enhancements with Solarsoft’s enterprise resource planning and shop-floor monitoring systems. The plastic-injection molder now manages work orders and scheduling on a macro basis, based on the real-time shop-floor activity data provided by Solarsoft.
Suncast, a plastic injection molder serving big-box retailers
with extremely tight shipping schedules and heavy EDI requirements,
needed an ERP solution that not only boasted out-of-the-box and
fully integrated functionality, but one enabling tight EDI
integration and a solid interface with the company's existing
third-party demand planning and forecasting solutions.
Among the areas most notably impacted by Solarsoft is production
planning and scheduling. Throughout virtually every department,
Suncast has replaced Excel spreadsheets with Solarsoft's ERP system
for discrete manufacturing, iVP, and its White-Board Scheduler, a
graphical tool that enables managers to visually evaluate and
adjust workload and resource allocation at each work station in
order to most efficiently meet production and delivery goals.
"I don't think we could have asked for anything better in terms
of the solutions' impact on our day-to-day operations," comments Ed
Booth, Director of IT.
