Manufacturing.net Profiles Technology Group International’s ERP and CRM Systems

Toledo, OH, September 25, 2006 --(PR.com)-- Rebecca Gill, vice-president of TGI, notes several key reasons for purchasing an integrated ERP/CRM solution. Full integration allows:
• Access to data in manufacturing, distribution, and accounting.
• Instant notification of credit issues.
• Instant capability to promise data for both manufactured and distributed products.
• Direct tie between anticipated sales and related costs.
• Instant access to historical information like sales, returns, on-time payments, margins, and other data.
• Integrated dashboards that go beyond the typical sales funnel; show true margin comparisons.
• No need to re-shuffle sales data, or re-evaluate, or re-key. Data is all available to dice and slice as needed.
• No lag time between data syncing or replicating. Management staff has live, real-time sales data.
• True 360 degree view of the customer for the organization and not just the sales representatives.

Manufacturing journalist Thomas R. Cutler profiled some ERP vendors in Manufacturing.net who have proactively addressed CRM as a critical lean aspect of the manufacturing enterprise. Toledo-based Technology Group International (www.tgiltd.com) has developed a customized comprehensive industrial CRM solution. According to Cutler, “Expertise in industrial CRM is more significant than whether fully integrated in an ERP system or stand alone industrial CRM; vendor experience in industrial sales and marketing trumps the selection of technology.” The article may be found in its entirety at http://manufacturing.net/article/CA6363848.html.
