The manufacturing environment for lighting, environmental and ventilation products is subject to exceptionally high standards. To meet the demand for excellence from its customers and suppliers, Canarm LTD has set itself high commercial requirements.
Their solution? A powerful partnership with EC Solutions for the implementation of a high level Business Intelligence (BI) system. Since then, Canarm has been working closely with the ERP experts at EC Solutions as a strategic business partner.
As a global manufacturer of high quality environmental, lighting and ventilation products, Canarm LTD operates to high and complex standards. In addition, larger scale projects involve the supervision of a great number of interacting elements, often managed by several people.
The company, therefore, needed a powerful integrated data analysis software to facilitate communication between the various departments, as well as with their customers and suppliers. This is where EC Solutions’ expertise with Epicor ERP (enterprise resource planning) software came into play.
