Adonix Unveils New ERP System for The Process Manufacturing Market
Enterprise-wide solution addresses the unique and specialized needs of mid-sized process manufacturers
Pittsburgh, Pa - May 28, 2003 - The long wait is over for mid-sized process manufacturers seeking an affordable, functionally robust enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution. Adonix, a leading provider of ERP systems for mid-sized companies, today unveiled its new Adonix X3 Process Suite, the first product release emanating from its acquisition of CIMPRO from MAI Systems in December 2002.
Adonix X3 Process combines the features of the company's flagship product, Adonix X3 (a Web-native ERP suite that fully integrates manufacturing, distribution, warehouse management, customer relationship management (CRM) and finance functionality), with application features that address the unique and specialized needs of the process manufacturer.
The latest release complements Adonix X3's core industry-specific features with the following capabilities:
o Formula management for handling variable units of measure, weight calculations, raw material potency and other attributes, packaging variations, cost analysis, expected yield and by-product management
o Lot control and tracking, with expiration date management
o Quality management to meet customer-defined specifications
MSDS, Certificate of Analysis and Compliance Labeling software, provided by partner The WERCS®, round out the suite, all designed to help process manufacturers achieve greater product and process consistency while increasing their ability to satisfy customer demands.
With Adonix X3's robust business management functionality, these features form the heart of an enterprise system that allows process manufacturers to further their information technology evolution with a solution designed for quick implementation and rapid return on investment. The full suite integrates modern technologies like customer relationship management, supply chain management (warehousing, data collection, shipping and manifesting) and enhanced business enablers (automated workflow, e-business and real-time business intelligence) with traditional functions such as Production Planning and Control, Sales Management, Purchasing, Inventory Management and Accounting.
The Adonix X3 Pricing module adds support for promotional and other special pricing methods, while optimized planning and scheduling in both single and multi-site environments are available for more sophisticated mid-market businesses.
"It's been many years since process manufacturers have seen a new enterprise system tuned to their requirements," said Richard Surdez, Vice President, Process Industry for Adonix. "The debut of Adonix X3 Process offers mid-sized process manufacturers the Tier One functionality and technology required by large corporations without the complexity and at an affordable price."
Alex Attal, CEO Adonix North America, added, "Adonix X3 Process can help companies increase profitability by orchestrating company resources into quality products with increased yields, reduced waste, controlled costs and increased customer satisfaction."
Ganong Bros. Ltd., a mid-sized manufacturer of quality chocolates and confections based in St. Stephen, New Brunswick, Canada, went live with Adonix X3 for its candy-making operations earlier this month. "We were looking for a solution that was specifically tailored to our market", said Marc Lefebvre, Vice President and CIO for Ganong. "We're expecting the system to help us improve efficiencies in planning, scheduling and production."
According to Surdez, Adonix X3 Process is the ideal solution for companies producing food and beverage items (dairy products, preserved fruits and vegetables, grain mill products, bakery and confection products, beverages, fats, oils, dressings, flavors and sauces) and chemicals (paints and coatings, industrial chemicals, lubricants and adhesives, petrochemicals, cosmetics, plastics and synthetic materials or specialty chemicals).
