Deacom, Inc., the provider of a single-system Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution, has started implementation for Tulco Oils, a leading distributor and contract manufacturer of high-quality lubricants in the United States. This investment is part of a significant expansion project that the manufacturer is making to advance and position the business for long-term success.
“Upgrading our technology was an important part of our growth strategy as we look to increase our international footprint and expand our contract manufacturing business,” said Don Stanton, Vice President of Operations for Tulco Oils. “We needed a system that could manage both our distribution and manufacturing businesses as if they were one – not independent organizations. With expertise and focus on these two industries, coupled with its all-encompassing software, Deacom’s ERP solution provides the tools our business needs to improve workflow management and company-wide visibility.”
While other ERP systems in the market often require attaching manufacturing and distribution-focused modules to a main application, Deacom houses all relevant functionality within a single piece of software. This structure allows workflows between various departments to progress in an inherently simpler manner and enables true process control.
For example, sales orders made in DEACOM are instantly communicated to impacted departments to establish and manage product delivery commitments as well as related production scheduling. By keeping all data within the system and avoiding external workarounds, Tulco Oils stakeholders are able to consolidate data between their four facilities in real time so the most accurate analysis of performance can be achieved.
“Deacom’s technology not only delivers a cohesive view into our entire business but also strong functionality that is designed to progress alongside our business,” said Stanton. “Their commitment to continuous improvement allows us to focus on quality products and services with the knowledge that the latest technology will always be available to us.”
