Maine Group expects ERP ROI in 12 months

Office storage and marine furniture manufacturer Maine Group says it expects return on investment within 12 months of installing an ERP system from InforSwan. The company has bought a 20–user infor:com system and services for implementation, training and support, including a SunSystems financials suite. Go-live is expected in around nine months. Robert Klotrup, Maine’s CEO, says the system was selected following investigation of a number of alternatives. He says it “represented excellent value for money”, and singles out the system’s CRM (customer relationship management) functionality as particularly appropriate for its “complex ordering and CRM requirements.” From infor:swan’s position, the new business builds on the company’s existing customers in the furniture manufacturing sector.
