 One of the largest glass processors in North America was poised to acquire its largest competitor. The acquisition was held back, however, because their information systems were not scalable. They needed to integrate systems between their 50+ locations scattered throughout the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. As part of a successful effort to provide the integration, the company’s enterprise resource planning provider, Kerr Consulting & Support (KCS), brought in CodePartners. CodePartners designed a ticketing system that served in automating processes from the truck scales directly to order entry, inventory control, and accounts payable. The integrated system not only helped close monthly books, but it also cut the company’s costs in the field. What’s more, the new streamlined processes gave investors the confidence they needed to fund the acquisition of their largest competitor resulting in a 40%-60% increase in market share.
