“Contour Industries is pleased to be launching Infor ERP VISUAL on January 2, 2012. This system will allow us to see at-a-glance the impact of every order, constraint or bottleneck within our business, and allow us to manufacture at a level of speed and efficiency that makes the best use of our resources. Our goal as a company is to achieve consistently great performance, and VISUAL will help us to think strategically and manufacture successfully. Contour Industries has significant growth plans in place, and VISUAL will allow us a platform that ensures we are able to manage the growth, while maintaining the service flexibility that has become our trademark in the fabricated glass business,” said Tom Parnell, VP Appliance Sales & Supply Chain at Contour.
“Contour Industries’ dedication to continuous improvement and customer satisfaction was a key driver of their VISUAL Implementation,” said Joe Zalewski, Managing Partner and COO at BizTech. “From the very start, Marc Massa and his team had a vision for success. Their determination and efforts made this implementation successful.”
Parnell added, “BizTech has been an excellent facilitator of the Infor ERP VISUAL system implementation from the front offices to the factory floor. Everyone knows that implementing new software platforms can often have significant pains associated with getting them up and running, but our experience has been positive and relatively pain-free with BizTech’s personnel leading the way.”
