Removes duplication and supports complex orders:
“As the business grew we needed software that would interpret our data more intelligently. For example, we can have up to 150 individual fabrics for any one chair and therefore needed a system that eliminates opportunities for duplication in the manufacturing process."
End-to-end visibility ensures deadlines are met:
"We also needed to view production from beginning to end, providing increased visibility so that we could schedule manufacturing accurately, improve the availability of raw materials and align scheduling with production capacity.
Having looked at competitive software it was clear that Unity was the system to ensure production timescales and deadlines would be met.
Without good production processes, our ability to provide a wide range of products and deliver these on time, would be impossible. Unity has allowed us to achieve this."
A flexible, long-term ERP solution:
"The flexibility of the software means we can continually upgrade and improve the system to provide us with greater efficiency and capability well into the future.”
