Encompix benefits after just six months made a dramatic difference according to Kuck: “By eliminating manual input that resulted from maintaining duel systems, B&K dramatically decreased our clerical time. This has made out month-end process much more streamlined and efficient. Encompix give us vastly improved information. We are able to see exact status of all our projects. How we go into those meetings and we just pull everything up onto screen and enter job notes right into system. It is much more of a real-time system.” Encompix (www.encompix.com) has filled manufacturing software requirements of Engineer-to-Order companies since 1992. The company name reflects our commitment to developing business application solutions that encompass complex areas of project-based and job-based manufacturing. Encompix provides ETO manufacturers with a competitive advantage by improving bottom line results. ###
