SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwire - September 14, 2009) - Tensoft, a leading end-to-end ERP and supply
chain solution provider for semiconductor and other high tech manufacturing
entities, today announced that CTS Cement Manufacturing Corporation, the
largest manufacturer of specialty fast-setting cement and
shrinkage-compensating cement in the U.S., has chosen Tensoft Outsourced
Manufacturing Management (OMM) software to help streamline its operations.
Tensoft OMM is a Microsoft-based, business management system that automates
from the general ledger (GL) through third party logistics (3PL) and
provides a turnkey solution that fits companies' virtual production and
logistics needs.
Unlike traditional ERP software designed to manage a shop floor within a
plant's four walls, Tensoft OMM was natively architected to support the
unique needs of outsourced manufacturing operations, providing a
comprehensive solution for real visibility. Outsourced production and
inventory management are streamlined through online shipping, workflow, and
Point of Sale (POS) support -- features that are essential for today's
virtual manufacturing businesses.
The success of an external manufacturing operation depends on how clearly
one can see the big picture. CTS Cement was seeking a solution to expand
the capabilities of Microsoft Dynamics GP to better accommodate their
expanding outsourced manufacturing and supply chain needs to synchronize
with their 15 U.S. manufacturing facilities and more than 500 distribution
sites.
"While Microsoft Dynamics GP provides solid core financial capabilities, we
soon realized that our outsourced manufacturing processes place demands on
a traditional ERP system that can't be met without heavy customization,"
said Fred McKay, CFO of CTS Cement. "With Tensoft Outsourced Manufacturing
Management, we'll be able to really streamline our outsourced process
manufacturing operations, and have visibility at every step along the
supply chain. And, since Tensoft OMM is an out-of-the-box solution, we
won't be stuck with outdated technology in a few years."
"CTS Cement is a definite departure from Tensoft's usual high tech customer
base, but as it turns out, their outsourced supply chain has many
similarities to the high tech industry," said Tensoft CEO Bob Scarborough.
"Both industries utilize multi-stage outsourced processes, consigned
material management, and inventory value defined by the specific production
process used. We look forward to helping CTS significantly increase the
efficiency of their business."
