Inventory and production processes were being tracked manually. Having separate systems for different processes created extra work including dual order entry, manual import and export processes, manual accounting, and offline reporting. DDB Unlimited decided to investigate an ERP system to streamline and automate these systems. The company implemented a Sage MAS 90 system but was unhappy with the fact that processes got slower and more confusing. Read More
