Winnipeg, MB – November 1, 2012 – Zantek Information Technology Inc., a full-service IT company, today announced a project to augment an existing implementation of SAP® Business One at Sage Energy Corp., a gas compressor packager for the oil and gas industry.
On the manufacturing side of its operations, Sage Energy will gain streamlined and more accurate processes for job costing, change orders, subcontracting, quality assurance, and inventory management for both make-to-order and engineer-to-order production. The service operations will benefit from enhanced warranty tracking, service dispatching, parts ordering, inventory management, and invoicing.
“Sage is expanding into international markets so it needs a system that will provide real-time information on both its manufacturing and service operations, plus handle multiple currencies,” said Ron Mondor, president, Zantek. “We’re seamlessly integrating the SAP Business One application with software developed by Variatec, an SAP Software Solution Provider and experts in manufacturing and distribution solutions.”
SAP Business One is a business management application (often called enterprise resource management or ERP software) designed to help companies better unify, manage, and control their entire business across financials, sales, customers, and operations while eliminating redundant data entries and errors. SAP partners with third-party solution providers to develop enhanced functionality that meets specific business needs.
“The playing field is changing,” said Karen Narfason, chief financial officer, Sage Energy. “In order to effectively compete in new markets, we need to streamline our processes and have a real-time view of our entire operation. Zantek conducted a thorough analysis of our business and recommended a solution that meets our needs today and will grow with us.”
In a study of challenges faced by businesses attempting profitable growth, Pierre Audoin Consultants (PAC), a global market research and consulting firm, found that companies looking to aggressively expand are often held back by too many manual processes and outdated IT systems. The whitepaper states: With SAP Business One, SAP offers a modern ERP solution for small businesses that not only brings a platform for growth, but also one that is easy to implement and to manage.
