Here’s how NexTec Group and Sage X3 helped solve EMS Adhesives’ challenges.
The process control system that is part of Sage X3 gave EMS Adhesives full visibility, traceability and accountability – something required for the company to operate in markets with high reporting requirements like the healthcare industry. “With Sage X3, we’re far more efficient on the processing side, we have a lot more capabilities than we ever did before. We have lots of visibility to the physical location and quality status of everything in our supply chain. It enables complete transparency and the ability to quickly retrieve data,” says Christina Cantrall, Quality Manager.
“Most can’t do what we can do easily,” Cantrall says about Sage X3’s customer-focused controls. Extremely helpful in their customer service goals, “the system allows us to set up customer-specific functions throughout. We can add or modify customer-specific reports easily and with detail.” Cantrall goes on to say, “We try to differentiate ourselves around customer-centricity. We show all the details with our products and our customers even use our system for their materials – all of which makes us a stickier vendor for them.”
