Solarsoft ERP to Streamline Operations at Cam Tran

Distribution transformer manufacturer replaces legacy system with functionality, flexibility of Solarsoft ERP system

Solarsoft's enterprise resource planning software, iVP, has been selected to help streamline operations at Cam Tran, a manufacturer of distribution transformers primarily for utility and power corporations, contractors and developers.

Toronto, ON - August 23, 2011 - Solarsoft Business Systems, a leading provider of enterprise software and IT services to manufacturers worldwide, announced today that its enterprise resource planning software has been selected to help streamline operations at Cam Tran, a manufacturer of distribution transformers primarily for utility and power corporations, contractors and developers.

With major operations in Colborne, Ontario and Chilliwack, British Columbia, Cam Tran also repairs, refurbishes, remanufactures, and services distribution transformers. The growth of the company led Cam Tran to search for a replacement business system.

"We were ready to leave behind our 15-year-old MRP system because it lacked the functionality we wanted and wasn't flexible enough to support the growth of our business," says Bryn Campbell, Vice President at Cam Tran. "We needed to reduce our manual processes, get away from spreadsheets, and integrate our business with a single ERP system."

Cam Tran was impressed by the functionality of Solarsoft. "The instant availability of real-time data collected by Solarsoft's iVP system will be a huge boost to our efficiencies," says John Gerelus, IT Manager at Cam Tran. "We like how the iVP software is able to handle our needs from order entry and production scheduling through to delivery and financials. Our legacy system wasn't able to fully support blanket orders or bar coding, so having that functionality built into iVP is a huge improvement."

"We're excited to begin this partnership with Cam Tran," says Aidan Killean, Senior Business Development Manager at Solarsoft. "We look forward to the iVP system helping Cam Tran integrate its operations, improve efficiencies, and grow its business."
