At the heart of the company’s infrastructure is a leading enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. CEDPM is clearly unique as it is the only major forms company to successfully implement a state-of-the-art ERP system that integrates account management, order management, manufacturing/planning, procurement, logistics and finance onto one platform.
As a result of the ERP implementation, CEDPM is able to successfully manage the supply chain processes in real-time by defining customer needs and then delivering on that need, based on their defined requirements. Additionally, the ERP platform enables CEDPM to have visibility within the whole supply chain with its real-time integration and planning. Whether the product is produced or procured, stored or shipped direct, or created on-line or off-line, CEDPM can effectively manage each order from quote to cash (or customer payment).
Last, but certainly not least, CEDPM’s ERP system has built efficiencies in its operations through bar-coding, automated billing and self-service capabilities (e-commerce), in addition to seamless integration with outside service and supply companies. |
