Ruggedised industrial computer systems supplier Captec has selected Exel Computer Systems’ Efacs E/8 ERP for its new integrated business solution.
It’s part of what the company see as a major investment programme, and Jeremy Langdon head of operations at Captec, expects the system to handle future challenges around lean manufacturing – due to underpin business growth.
Key to that, he says, is Efacs’ manufacturing credentials. “Other packages that we reviewed had gaps – particularly in materials management, production planning and scheduling,” says Langdon.
He also believes that Efacs’ thin-client, platform independent proposition makes a worthwhile difference. “This ensures that the total cost of ownership is minimised for ongoing support of the internal infrastructure. The fact that we can now reduce TCO and easily access the business system from remote locations was a major advantage over the other two vendors in our shortlist,” he explains.
Captec will be implementing the 30-user system over the coming months, with a projected go-live date of April 2008.
