Fresh roasted coffee producer selects Solarsoft’s ERP system for process manufacturing to replace manual systems and integrate operations

Chicago, IL - June 6, 2012 - Solarsoft Business Systems, a leading provider of enterprise software and IT services to manufacturers worldwide, announced today that Solarsoft's ERP system for process manufacturers, Tropos, has been selected by LaRue Coffee Roasterie of Omaha, Nebraska.

LaRue Coffee was determined to implement a modern ERP system that could support the growth of its business. "We were using spreadsheets for inventory tracking and production scheduling purposes," says Travis O'Gorman, President of LaRue Coffee Roasterie. "We were spending a lot of hours to manually enter data, so there was always the risk of clerical errors. We were also using QuickBooks for financials. We've simply outgrown the spreadsheets and QuickBooks environment and want to move to a real-time, integrated system."

Solarsoft Tropos will help LaRue Coffee simplify its complex day-to-day tasks with precise control over sales, inventory, production scheduling, manufacturing, materials traceability and financials. "We were particularly impressed with the traceability portion of the system, and how it communicates with hand-held scanners," says O'Gorman. "The additional levels of information now available will be an excellent resource for our customers."

"Out of all the companies and systems we researched, we found that Solarsoft definitely came out on top in terms of functionality, like reporting and traceability, and for its management dashboards. We're really excited to partner with Solarsoft and we have big plans for Tropos."
