Business Processes for a 21st Century Coatings Company

From Deacom, Inc.
 

 

For nearly 100 years, Progress Paint Manufacturing Company, Inc. has been covering its customers' needs through the production of interior and exterior architectural paints, industrial maintenance coatings, and marine finishes. From three locations, the Louisville, Ky.-based business manufactures its name brands of Gray Seal®, Kurfees®, Fixall®, Duralux® Marine Coatings, and Lumi-Seal® Acrylic Concrete Sealers, which are sold through independent dealers.
Several years ago, the company realized it wasn't covering its own needs: The non-integrated software systems and manual processes Progress Paint was using to run its business were slowing its productivity. To accelerate efficiency, Progress Paint decided to replace those old systems with a single accounting and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software solution.
