Encompix Helps Old Firm to Reduce Purchasing Time in HalfWritten by Roger Meloy
ENERFAB is a leading process solution firm with design/build capabilities serving process industries including chemical, food and beverage, mining, pharmaceutical, power generation, and pulp and paper. After a three-month implementation, ENERFAB went live with Encompix on October 19, 2004. Moving from a "green screen" system to Encompix was a big change for Sharonville, Ohio, firm. "We were very impressed with inventory and purchasing functionality and by eliminating duplicate data entry we have cut our purchasing time by half," said Dave Lutz, IT Director. ENERFAB has over 2,600 employees in 10 locations and plans to increase its use of Encompix. "We are looking at expanding our use of Encompix into other areas of business and are planning to bring on our Spare Parts Division in a couple of months."
