Syspro Integration Key to Hobbiest, Educational Supplier


Midwest Products Chooses Integrated SYSPRO Solution Over Microsoft Dynamics

COSTA MESA, Calif. - SYSPRO, a provider of visionary ERP Software for the manufacturing pragmatist, has today announced that the company has signed Hobart, IN-based Midwest Products Co. The sale was made by SYSPRO reseller ProSource of Deerfield, IL. Midwest Products is a leading worldwide supplier of quality raw materials, accessories and kits which are sold through distributors and retailers. The company's products are utilized for leisure, educational and professional pursuits, from model airplanes and boats to architectural and educational projects.

According to Donna Giricz, Midwest Controller, the company sought an ERP solution to accommodate current needs as well as meet the demands of future growth resulting from new product introductions and added sales channels. After an extensive search of ERP solutions, the choice narrowed to SYSPRO and Microsoft Dynamics. "The decision to go with SYSPRO was based on the ability of the software to extend the enterprise," says Giricz, citing the availability of integrated solutions such as EDI [Electronic Data Interchange], Customer Relationship Management [CRM] and CyberScan Shop Floor System.

Midwest looks to SYSPRO software to provide a clearer insight into the operations of the company, from manufacturing through sales to financial reporting. "The software will also enable us to optimize our inventory levels," notes Giricz.

SYSPRO's more thoughtful approach to adopting new technology, such as web services and SOA platforms, also reflects the desires of its buyers who are driven by business needs and not by the latest headlines. This exemplifies SYSPRO's ongoing strategy of helping to simplify the success of its customers. SYSPRO calls its buyer landscape "PragmaVision,"(TM) consisting of pragmatic, visionary ERP executives that are driven by a desire for smart, but aggressive market growth.
