Epicor Software Corporation (NASDAQ: EPIC), a leading provider of
enterprise business software solutions for the midmarket and
divisions of Global 1000 companies, today announced that Freight
One Scandinavia, a logistics company specializing in rail
transportations between Finland, Russia and the CIS countries, has
selected Epicor's next-generation enterprise resource planning
(ERP) solution to support its Finnish operations. Local Epicor
partner Smart Time Oy assisted with the selection and will be
managing the implementation project.
Most organizations eventually come to a point in their
operations where Excel spreadsheets and good memories are no longer
adequate if the business wants to continue growing. This was the
situation that Freight One Scandinavia faced last year.
"We've been in operation about a year, and all our business data
has so far been recorded in Excel spreadsheets," said Maria
Kuokkanen, chief executive officer for Freight One Scandinavia.
"The business has continued to grow at such a fast pace that the
spreadsheets have become difficult to handle. We needed a reliable
system and after exploring various options we chose Epicor."
The company had not previously been using an ERP system, and
except for the accounting processes, the rest of the business was
run using Excel spreadsheets. Epicor's regional sales director in
Finland, Matti Pulla, explained that this is quite a normal
situation in smaller companies.
"As the business grows, however, an integrated system will be
required if they don't want to spend more time on manual
administrative tasks, which could easily be automated and managed
by an ERP system," said Pulla. "A suitable solution can give the
business improved control and hence enables them to handle more
sales opportunities and increase its competitiveness."
Epicor partner Smart Time has a significant role in the project.
Freight One Scandinavia originally intended to buy just a customer
relationship management (CRM) system, but when Smart Time evaluated
the company's requirements it became clear that an integrated ERP
solution would be a better investment.
"With Freight One Scandinavia we are on the same page about what
the system should provide and how it should work," said Lauri
Kestilä, consulting director for Smart Time. "Customers also
appreciate the fact that they can receive everything from the same
supplier, from final delivery to service and maintenance."
The full ERP project will kick off this spring. Kestilä
concluded, "The system is 95 percent suitable for Freight One
Scandinavia, we only need to slightly adapt some processes to fit
some of their specific business requirements and make sure it's
easy for them to use."
