National Building Materials Distributor Upgrades with Infor
Atlanta, GA, December 20, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Infor today announced that Huttig Building Products, Inc. (NYSE: HBP), a leading domestic distributor of millwork, building materials and wood products, has ceased its implementation of a competing ERP system and instead upgraded to the latest version of Infor ERP SX.enterprise, an ERP solution for distributors and wholesalers.
The built-in business-specific capabilities, lower total cost of ownership, scalability of Infor ERP SX.enterprise, and Infor’s domain expertise in the distribution market were strong factors in Huttig’s decision to reinvest in its Infor solution. Huttig is benefiting from several new capabilities through Infor ERP SX.enterprise, including consolidated invoicing, streamlined order entry processes and tally functionality.
“After implementing in just nine months, we are now benefiting from the enhanced capabilities of our upgraded SX.enterprise solution, the lower total cost of ownership and deep distribution experience provided by Infor,” said Jon Vrabely, CEO of Huttig.
“The building materials distribution industry is fiercely competitive and companies need every available tool to gain an upper hand,” said Thad Zylka, vice president of Infor’s Distribution and Supply Chain Group. “Enterprising companies like Huttig can quickly achieve a competitive advantage through the rapid implementation cycle of Infor ERP SX.enterprise, as well as from Infor’s rich understanding of the industry.”
