Automatic Doorway to Enterprise Wide Savings for Therma-Tru Doors

Toledo, OH, October 17, 2006 --(PR.com)-- Outgrowing their existing in house computer system, Therma-Tru Doors turned to Technology Group International to revitalize the company’s technology platform. Within a year, Therma-Tru implemented Enterprise 21’s ERP software suite at its various locations throughout the United States and Mexico. Therma-Tru quickly obtained their return on investment by reducing costs through:

♦ Tighter data management
♦ Decreased WIP inventory
♦ Increased manufacturing output
♦ Increased warehouse output
♦ Decreased invoice errors

Serving a robust and diverse distributor network requires not only a high quality product, it requires a complex manufacturing environment and sophisticated supply chain management capabilities. Enterprise 21 delivered an affordable, high quality software system to help Therma-Tru manage all operational tasks from online order entry through compliance labeling and ultimate shipment to the customer. As a result of process efficiencies gleaned from implementing Enterprise 21, Therma-Tru was able to more than double its daily shipping capacity at all facilities, while, at the same time, reducing the number of people involved. Consequently, line item and order fill rates improved dramatically.

Therma-Tru Doors is the nation’s leading manufacturer of fiberglass and steel exterior door systems and the brand of entry doors most preferred by builders and remodelers. As a part of consumer products company Fortune Brands, Therma-Tru joins a great family of leading home products brands, including Moen, the #1 faucet brand in North America, MasterBrand Cabinets, the #2 kitchen & bath cabinet business, Master Lock, the world’s #1 padlock brand, and Waterloo Industries, the leading manufacturer of tool storage products.
