Eagle Consulting Celebrates 20 Years as QAD Strategic Partner

Kinnelon, NJ, May 06, 2013 --(PR.com)-- As QAD’s Explore conference opens in San Antonio today, Eagle is proud to announce its 25th anniversary in business, with 20 of those years committed exclusively to the QAD community. Today Eagle’s product, RF Express™ for QAD Enterprise Applications, is in use by 800+ QAD customers at over 3,000 sites around the world, supporting all industries served by QAD.

Over the 20 years that Eagle and QAD have worked together, manufacturers dramatically expanded the scope of their systems. The pressure of supply chain partners and a global marketplace drove many cost-conscious manufacturers to upgrade from Material Requirements Planning (MRP) to Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) to Enterprise Applications. As QAD demonstrated the ability of its applications to move beyond MRP to financials, distribution, workflow, and even business intelligence, Eagle’s automated data collection (ADC) capability became a key component of a complete solution. The more sophisticated the enterprise system became, the more it depended upon fault-proof, real-time data. Their mutual customers need it for inventory control, for planning, for labor tracking and more. According to Bill Paone, Eagle’s Executive VP of Sales and Marketing:

"Together, Eagle and QAD have spanned an extraordinary time in manufacturing technology."

Initially, some of those same manufacturers used manual systems to provide the QAD database with updates on the movement of materials from receiving to the shop floor or the warehouse and beyond to shipping. Errors, batch updating, human auditing and searching for inventory that was “out there somewhere” became much too costly. Eagle case studies detail customer savings in inventory, labor, productivity, efficiency, ability to plan and more when the customer leveraged its QAD investment with the Eagle solution.
