"The fact that we have real-time data is only starting to reap benefits in other areas. GTC was so used to not having real-time data that we’re only now starting to run several subledger reports… to get a better understanding of how to address issues that impact our results."
“Plex offers great planning opportunities, as well as a clear picture and understanding of the process.”
“Plex will automatically put a product on hold if anything fails to pass quality specifications, and will not allow material handlers to scan that product to put on the trailer. So, it protects our end customers from receiving faulty products.”
“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.”
“It was difficult to find root causes and do good corrective actions. We can now put instructions, quality check sheets and hard stops into the Plex system in the way of pictures, videos, and writing to ensure that everything is being done exactly to specifications”
