Farecla Products Ltd Selects Epicor(R) to Support Business Growth

Marketwired
Epicor Software Corporation (NASDAQ: EPIC), a leading provider of
enterprise business software solutions for the midmarket and
divisions of Global 1000 companies, today announced that Farécla
Products Ltd, an internationally recognised manufacturer and
supplier to the automotive refinishing trade since 1950, has
selected the Epicor 9 next-generation enterprise resource planning
(ERP) solution as part of a business transformation project to
support the company's growth and current turnover of £15m GBP.
Farécla Products has five sites globally and is headquartered in
the UK. The company is bucking the trend of the global economy,
consistently achieving double-digit annual revenue growth, but it
has now reached a point where its current systems could hold it
back from future growth, rather than enable it.
"We use separate systems to manage areas such as finance, CRM,
stock planning, inventory and export control," said Jeff Kipling,
finance director at Farécla. "We've seen consistent growth for many
years and have simply grown out of the systems we currently use. We
needed a new solution that would allow our staff to be more
efficient and focus on adding value, rather than spending a
disproportionate amount of time keying and re-keying data. By
giving our staff the right systems and processes we believe we can
achieve greater growth."
Epicor will allow Farécla to manage all of its business
processes and data from a single solution, which includes a product
inventory consisting of thousands of lines. Currently, data often
needs to be entered in several systems separately, and some
processes such as forecasting are managed completely offline.
Additional functional benefits include the seamless integration
with the Microsoft® Office suite and the manufacturing resource
planning (MRP) module to enable scenario-based forecasting and
production management.
Farécla reviewed ten different ERP solutions before choosing
Epicor. Key selection criteria included the impressive out of the
box functionality, high level of adaptability without product
customisation, intuitive look and feel, and simplicity of
operation.
"We have great confidence in the Epicor consultants we are
working with from Aspera, and the excellent references we received
for live Epicor customers," added Kipling. "Epicor provided the
most balanced solution offering for our needs."
"We are very pleased to be selected with Epicor by Farécla, a
global leader in re-finishing products," commented Lonan Byrne,
managing director of Aspera Solutions. "We look forward to helping
them achieve their immediate systems objectives and extract real
business value from their investment with Epicor over the
long-term."
"At a time when businesses are continuing to fight their way out
of the tough economic climate, those looking to grow are turning to
efficiency savings to enable staff to be more productive and cut
costs," said James Norwood, senior vice president, worldwide
product marketing for Epicor. "Using the right technology can have
a dramatic effect on these key areas, enabling a business to
explore new revenue opportunities."
