Advance Paper Box finds Right People, Right Business Software at Solarsoft

Packaging manufacturer finds the right partner in Solarsoft.

In the search for an ERP solution, Advance Paper Box wanted more than a traditional vendor-customer relationship, they wanted a partnership. In Solarsoft they found the right people, the right project management processes, and a culture that was a great fit.

Vancouver, BC - 27 January 2011 - Solarsoft Business Systems, a leading provider of enterprise software and IT services to manufacturers, distributors and wholesale businesses worldwide, announced today that Advance Paper Box Co. of Los Angeles, CA, has chosen to integrate its business with Solarsoft's Accelerate enterprise resource planning software for folding carton manufacturers. Advance Paper Box has offered a full range of packaging products and services to their customers since 1924, and prides themselves on their high quality products and timely personalized service.

"Our legacy software system was doing a good job in handling the individual tasks, but we were at the point where we really needed an integrated system that would handle our business, from end to end," explains Carlo Mendoza, Chief Financial Officer at Advance Paper Box. "We looked at quite a few software packages, all designed for the packaging industry, and for us the selection really came down to the people. We wanted to create a partnership, not a traditional vendor-customer relationship. Solarsoft had the right people, the right project management processes in place, and the culture that was a really great fit for us."

"We have an aggressive timeline to go-live in six months so selecting the right team to support our implementation and go-live was crucial," adds Ruben Miranda, IT Manager at Advance Paper Box. "We found that partner in Solarsoft, and their entire team. We're looking forward to having a cohesive software system in Accelerate that provides us with real-time information, and full control over job costing."
