Challenge	Schleuniger, a global business selling to high-tech industries, was in need of a new accounting system that could be accessed by its four branch offices, including locations in Canada and Mexico. The company wanted to ensure high-quality customer service across all its locations. However, the small size of the branch offices made it challenging to invest in a costly wide-area network. The company needed a solution that would allow branch offices to access pertinent business information, make entries remotely, and receive performance just like on the LAN at headquarters. Read More

By adhering to its motto, “To Be Precise,” Schleuniger has built a global business selling to high-tech industries from telecommunications to aerospace. The company's products range from compact benchtop wire strippers to large, fully integrated wire processing systems.

Solution	Schleuniger selected Sage 100 ERP as their solution. Through early adoption of virtual private network (VPN) technology, the company discovered it could use Sage 100 ERP over the Internet on a standard DSL connection. Now branch offices can log onto Sage 100 ERP securely, access pertinent business information, make entries remotely, and receive performance just like on the LAN at headquarters. And it’s fast. Reports that once took more than half an hour run in about a minute. Sean Matulonis, MIS manager at Schleuniger, says that implementation was surprisingly simple. “VPN technology was so new that we didn’t know what to expect. Yet the Sage 100 ERP system has performed better than we could have imagined.” Read More Log in to view content
