"For 15 years, we had an in-house developed ERP system that had become obsolete and unsupportable. We then purchased an industry-specific software package that was scrapped after three years of patching and work-arounds. After spending two years attempting to recreate our old system on a new platform, we found ourselves using disparate programs and data sets instead of integrated data. After listening to a friend rave about his success with PolyPM, we spent a day at his facility. The company was kind enough to show us how they are using PolyPM, demonstrating why they were very happy with their installation. The purchasing decision was made before even talking with PolyPM. We starting training on PolyPM in February 2011 and went live in April 2011. The implementation was professionally managed. Any problems were self inflicted, but Polygon’s staff helped guide us around them and kept us moving in the direction toward a successful implementation. My team is very happy with PolyPM. Management now has a reliable integrated solution. One of the most telling comments recently was from my purchasing manager, who said he now has the confidence to go home and spend time with his family knowing that there were no impending shortages because of purchasing missteps. We’re now moving into the next phase of using PolyPM and will be integrating PolyPM’s EDI and Scan and Pack. We have been pleased with Polygon’s support, guidance and willingness to enhance PolyPM to meet our needs. For example, we have used a method of production scheduling over the years based on loading each of our production lines based upon algorithms of both unit and minute capacity. Rather than pushing their integrated production scheduling solution, Polygon added fields to manufacturing orders and developed a utility to incorporate our loading methodology."
