Beverage Plastics Chooses Infor ERP SyteLine for Quality Control

ARMAGH, NORTHERN IRELAND, Apr 20 (MARKET WIRE) --
Infor today announced that Beverage Plastics Limited, the Co.
Armagh-based manufacturer of plastic bottles, has invested in its
enterprise resource planning (ERP) software. Infor ERP SyteLine's depth
of functionality complements the company's plans to adopt an advanced
business system to support its high volume, continuous 24 x 7 production
environment.

Beverage Plastics manufactures plastic bottles, preforms and one-piece
closures mainly for the soft drinks industry. The company will implement
ERP SyteLine in several areas of the business, particularly quality
control, production planning, maintenance and shop floor data collection.
These areas are currently generating a large amount of manual records.

The Infor ERP software will allow Beverage Plastics to capture data on
quality checks, introduce a barcode stock tracking system for finished
goods stock and a production planning system visible to the entire company
that will include scheduled maintenance tasks.

"We reached a stage where an upgrade to a new version of our current
system would have been very costly so we took the opportunity to
investigate the market and see what else was available. We were very
pleasantly surprised at the functionality available in modern ERP
systems. We looked at six options, shortlisted two, and finally decided
on ERP SyteLine from Infor," explains Shirley Dew, IT manager and project
manager for the ERP SyteLine implementation project, Beverage Plastics
Limited.

"The approach of the Infor team gives us high expectations of the benefits
that we can achieve through this project. Infor's approach to the sales
process was unique. It was not about showing off the software but about
focusing on areas in our business where they believed ERP SyteLine could
bring benefits. The demonstration of the software reflected a genuine
understanding of what we wanted to achieve."
