OTECH Corporation

OTECH Corporation is a leader in thermoplastic compounding and is one of the largest vinyl compounders in the Midwest USA.  OTECH develops, designs, and custom manufactures high-quality specialty PVC compounds, thermoplastic elastomers and alloys used in electrical wire and cable, footwear, housewares, roofing, agricultural parts, and automotive industries.

Challenge

OTECH Corporation was using several separate systems for accounting, manufacturing, quality control and R&D.  Managing these different systems was difficult and inefficient.  The company had outgrown these systems and were looking for a single integrated solution that could replace the prior systems they had relied on, while increasing efficiencies and data accuracy.

Solution

OTECH selected a solution that consisted of Sage X3 and Procession.   Since Procession works as modules that are added to Sage X3, this provided a single integrated solution.  Procession was selected because it provided many of the critical features that OTECH required.   These critical features included quality control and R&D formula management.    Sage X3 was selected because of its advanced accounting, manufacturing and reporting functionality.

Results

Accounting, manufacturing, quality control and R&D are now centralized into a single software application, boosting productivity and eliminating duplicate efforts.  Thanks to the successful implementation at OTECH, OTECH is now implementing the same solution at their subsidiary.

Using Procession and Sage Enterprise Management has improved our efficiency tremendously. With everything from product information, formulations, and certificates of analysis all in one system, our quality control system flows seamlessly and with visibility to all who need it. Procession and Enterprise Management are definitely the right fit for OTECH.
