“The cloud was paramount in our decision, but we had a long list of functionality requirements too, We came across a video that featured a Control+M consultant talking about a Plex implementation and we decided to get in touch with them.”
“We preformed multiple tests of EDI connections and labels to ensure the data from our existing systems transferred correctly into Plex, We provided training sessions on all three shifts to ensure there would be adequate support and operators could be productive on the new system from day one.”
“When I first started, they were setting the production schedule only a week or two in advance, which was highly reactive to customer demand.”
“Plex has played a huge role in helping us to consolidate and transform the performance of our business, making us a super-efficient manufacturer across our product range. Our customers are happy, we have secured our place in the market and our bottom line is healthy.”
“Should there be a problem with a part we can see where it went to, retrieve it, understand which components were used in its manufacture, and then predict where other quality issues may arise before they happen. That kind of visibility turns quality management into a profit center.”
“I can see the user’s self confidence growing as she talks about what she is doing and why she follows a certain method of data entry and reporting.”
“Not having to pay upgrade costs for our old systems made Plex a break-even investment. When balanced against our cost avoidance, the launch of Plex cost us nothing and we had an immediate ROI. Who could argue with that.”
“Because the system is so intuitive, on-the-floor training was quick and highly effective. The implementation didn’t disrupt our business, and employees in all departments are now able to access and use information to perform their jobs effectively.”
“Plex is an all-in-one ERP that helps make us Wal-Mart's Supplier of the Year.”
“We only have two IT folks at FloraCraft so not having to manage additional servers and software is a real bonus for us, as is the minimal overhead required to upgrade versions or manage ERP licensing."
“This testing phase actually gave us some unexpected benefits. It allowed us to tear up our old processes, get rid of old habits and start over. As we built up the layers of complexity by testing Plex across the business, from receipt of goods to shipping and invoicing, we often uncovered opportunities to enhance the way we work.”
"Plex is doing a lot of the work that we used to have to guess at, and that just makes our lives easier."
“If there is a quality issue, responses are fully integrated across the entire supply chain. Suppliers don’t have to enter their quality information into a separate system to develop their metrics.”
“My feeling about ERP systems and their launches had always been that you can focus on either technology benefits or business benefits, but we didn’t want to ‘cheat’ on either. With Plex, we didn’t have to.”
“All employees use Plex, whether it's the shop floor, office, or sales on the road. There's not a single person in our company who does not use Plex.”
