Canadian based Avmor LTD, a global manufacturer and distributor of industrial cleaning products has selected and implemented a new Sage ERP X3 accounting system for tracking it’s worldwide operations.

Sage ERP X3 is the next step up accounting and ERP system for companies with more extensive technology needs (typically multiple countries, currencies, web based transactional needs). We covered the (re)launch of Sage ERP X3 v6 in Paris France noting that:

Sage ERP X3 was acquired by Sage in 2005. Prior to branding as Sage ERP X3 it was known as Adonix. They claim 2,700+ users — probably mostly overseas (As I’m in Glastonbury CT that would be non – USA customers – though I believe there are a several in the USA) and 150 partners. The US launch of V6 is scheduled for Q2 2010.

ERP X3 has been actively building a channel in the US from amongst larger Sage partners. The product is positioned to ensure that both new companies and those companies outgrowing any of the Sage products have a place to migrate.

Avmor Ltd. Selects Sage ERP X3 for Its Operations Management

IRVINE, CA–(Marketwire – December 6, 2010) – Sage North America announced today that Avmor Ltd., a global manufacturer and distributor of quality industry cleaning products, has selected and implemented Sage ERP X3 to manage its complex operations. As part of the Sage ERP portfolio, Sage ERP X3 is a full-service enterprise management software system for mid-market businesses aimed at meeting the most elaborate business processes, while remaining cost-effective, quick to implement and simple to use.

For more than 60 years, family-owned Avmor Ltd. has conducted business in Canada, the U.S., Europe, Asia and the Middle East. The company’s manufacturing facilities are housed in a 155,000 square-foot, ISO 9001-2008 and ISO 14001:2004 certified plant that includes liquid and powder blending installations, a reactor for forming acrylic polymer emulsions, complete packaging facilities and on-site printing capabilities. Sophisticated tools are required to manage the company’s complex operations.

Edith Lauzon, director of finance and operations for Avmor, states that Avmor had previously relied on a legacy software system that was “heavily customized and lacked MRP capabilities, making it expensive to maintain and difficult for reporting.”

The company launched a comprehensive search for a fully integrated advanced manufacturing and distribution enterprise software solution and decided upon Sage. Sage also referred a local Sage Authorized Partner who collaborated with Avmor’s internal team to implement Sage ERP X3. “Our system went live as scheduled — to the day,” notes Lauzon. “Plus they saved us time by converting our bills-of-material, with our formulas, into the new system.”
Since the implementation, access to information across departments has dramatically improved, as has inventory management. “We can place key metrics right on our desktop to monitor them in real time,” says Lauzon. “Our ability to make informed business decisions is now enhanced, because we can deliver up-to-date information to our staff throughout the day. Sage ERP X3 has also improved our production planning capabilities. We’re now notified when we run low on the raw materials necessary to meet our real and projected demands.”

Prior to deploying Sage ERP X3, Avmor’s annual inventory costing activity took an entire month, but with Sage ERP X3’s efficiency and accuracy, the process now takes only two days. Additionally, lot tracking, a necessity when it comes to monitoring expiration dates of Avmor’s products, is easy with Sage ERP X3 because it automatically generates the coded lot number sequence for each item as each work order is completed. Lauzon says that this helps reduce waste and improves profitability.

Working with its business partner, the company plans to implement the software’s radio frequency (RF) data collection functionality. Item movement will then be efficiently tracked, from purchasing or production to final shipment, using hand-held devices and barcodes.

The web-based architecture of Sage ERP X3 allows Avmor’s sales staff to access the software anytime, anywhere. “We also plan to offer a similar benefit to our customers, which will help us to deliver a better experience for our customers,” explains Lauzon. “They will be able to log in to place orders, perform account inquiries and check stock of items.”
“We are already enjoying the benefits, efficiency and power the software provides — and we expect the benefits and resulting cost savings to continue to grow,” concludes Lauzon.

The extensive heritage and ecosystem of Sage ERP enables Sage to offer cost-effective, end-to-end solutions that are simple to use and span the diverse needs of midsize businesses across virtually every industry. As one of the largest selections of scalable, integrated ERP software solutions available, the Sage ERP portfolio includes Sage ERP Accpac, Sage ERP MAS, and Sage ERP X3.
