Allmar International Selects contractERP™ to provide Enterprise-Wide Business Automation
One of Canada’s largest distributors of architectural openings products knew that they could no longer run their company on a closed, dated system..
MELVILLE, NY — February 7, 2006 - Access IT, a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, announced today that Allmar International of Canada has selected Access IT to implement contractERP™ as their complete, enterprise-wide business management system. contractERP™ is a modular business software application that provides highly specialized functionality for the architectural openings industry and is powered by the Microsoft Dynamics NAV platform.
“Allmar has been incredibly successful over the years, but our current legacy system, Comsense, was holding us back. We found it difficult to adapt to changing industry trends, and the technology simply was not growing with us,” said Richard Hutchings, CFO of Allmar. “contractERP™ is the perfect solution for us, melding the technology of Microsoft with Access IT’s deep industry experience.”
Allmar is one of Canada’s largest distributors of architectural openings products and will implement contractERP™ across all twenty business units. In addition, Allmar will be replacing the estimating and detailing solution also provided by Comsense, with a new system from Avaware.
contractERP™ is completely integrated with the Avaware solution. Allmar will be able to work within an industry specific estimating and detailing solution (Avaware) to specify their projects and through a seamless and detailed import, all data will effortlessly move into contractERP™, allowing their team to completely manage the contract fulfillment process using the robust feature set of contractERP™.
“Access IT could not be happier to be working with such a predominant leader in the industry such as Allmar. Our commitment to the Architectural Openings Industry continues to grow and contractERP™ continues to be selected by businesses looking to unify their business operations and to move their business forward,” said Bill Natalie, Sr. Vice President of Access IT.
contractERP™ is an enterprise wide business application that will seamlessly automate Allmar’s contract fulfillment process as well as their accounting, purchasing, inventory management, and shipping.
“Allmar is a prominent member of the architectural openings industry and Access IT is looking forward to implementing contractERP™ across their business to help continue their explosive growth. Our team is poised and ready to provide Allmar with a solution that will continue to drive their productivity and growth into the future,” said Allyn Vineberg, President and CEO of Access IT.
“Allmar could no longer afford to be tethered to an industry specific solution and provider (Comsense) that was limited in both resources and technological innovation. We know our future growth depends significantly on automation and innovation and contractERP™ represents the very best of both,” added Hutchings.
