eSP® 2011 Released – New Features to Cut Your Supply Chain Costs

Thomas Wurm — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 11:42:50 +0000

eSP® 2011, the e-Ventus Supplier Portal, has added a new module along with a slew of new enhancements aimed at helping users further reduce their supply chain costs and improve productivity.

The new Kanban module provides automatic creation of purchase orders in the host ERP system by merely scanning bar-coded Kanban cards in the factory work cells. Savings are large and immediate, since no keboarding of PO data is required. Orders are then visible in the eSP® Supplier Portal, with the suppliers alerted to the new orders via e-mail and portal alerts. Any manufacturing firms who have implemented Kanban in their factories could benefit greatly with this new module!

eSP® 2011 connects to virtually any ERP system, typically in 30 – 60 days from project inception and has proven ROI’s over 100%. For more information, contact Mark Crow at 216-643-1900 Ext 1153 or at MCrow@e-ventus.com.

Glovia® Implementation: OPW Fueling Components

admin — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 16:16:43 +0000

We chose e-Ventus to implement Glovia® ERP into a company we had recently purchased.
The new company was on an ERP system that was underutilized, poorly configured, and non-compatible with the corporate Glovia® ERP system. e-Ventus came in and helped employees to unlearn the existing system and then relearn our system and fully implement our Glovia® system into this company – in some ways this is harder than starting from scratch. They came in and were very knowledgeable and professional in their approach. Their knowledge of ERP systems and manufacturing helped in their ability to successfully complete the project on time and on budget. e-Ventus was the primary technology project leaders: They met with the customer, set project time-lines, and mapped out the strategy on their own and trained the staff. At times they were ready before we were to implement the next step in the Glovia® ERP implementation process.

Short of being an OPW employee and knowing everything about how we do things like inventory control, etc., they architected the implementation in a totally satisfactory way. I would hire them again, and I recommend e-Ventus for any of your ERP implementation needs.

I want to thank you and the whole team from e-Vantus for a job well done. Over the last six months your involvement in our QAD® implementation has been critical to our success.

In particular, the hard work, knowledge and customer-centric focus of the e-Ventus team were key factors in helping to first stabilize, and then to advance our QAD® implementation. The team reacted well to a moving target, shifting priorities and a fast paced, unforgiving environment. Throughout, the team was professional and delivered high quality advice, analysis and training.

I can’t forget the GE Materials technical platform review and analysis. This too was done well, quickly, and on budget. Eric’s technical skills and calm demeanor in a storm have assisted us a great deal.

e-Ventus’ knowledge, experience, professionalism and work ethic have made them a chief contributor at GE Quartz, Inc. I would highly recommend e-Ventus as an ERP and e-Business partner.

Sincerely,

QAD® Implementation: more from GE Quartz

admin — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 15:18:54 +0000

e-Ventus Corporation (e-Ventus) has been actively involved in a major enterprise resource planning (ERP) initiative at GE Quartz, Inc. for the past six months. Their involvement has been critical to our success.

During the recent QAD® implementation at GE Quartz, e-Ventus provided business consulting, project management, application support and training for the QAD® system implementation. The hard word, knowledge, and customer-centric focus of e-Ventus resources were key factors in helping to first stabilize, and then to advance our QAD® implementation. One example is the transition of best practices from the Willoughby to the Newark facility, which improved the timeliness and data accuracy of our production transactions. As a result, it greatly advanced our staff’s ability to plan and execute production at the Newark facility.

e-Ventus delivered resources that were highly experienced in ERP system implementation, business processes and manufacturing expertise. Their work was always of the highest quality, and they consistently delivered more than expected.

e-Ventus’ knowledge, skill, focus and work ethic have made them a key contributor at GE Quartz, Inc. I would highly recommend e-Ventus as an ERP and e-Business partner.

Sincerely,
Rich Taylor, Operations
