Union Products International, Inc.
W e like to “keep it simple.” That statement, spoken by Pam Reed, Vice President of Operations for Cromwell, Indiana based Union Products International, Inc. aptly sum up the whole experience that is Union Products: simple, frugal and effective.
The company manages hundreds of BOMs, but
carefully. The result is an efficient manufacturing
operation, from orders to routing
and from bills of material to production,
that has resulted in ontime
accuracy of “between 98%
and 100% — at least that’s what
the customers tell us,” says
Reed. “We win a lot of awards
for that,” she adds modestly.

Alpha Systems, Inc.
Alpha Systems, Inc. is headquartered in Elkhart, Indiana, with several production and distribution locations. The firm was looking for a cost-effective but robust Warehouse Management System to help better expedite shipping, tracking and reporting, hoping to improve delivery speed (with less staff) even as client demands for shipping faster increased. Prior to their implementation of E-Z WMS warehouse staff carried printed pick tickets to pull orders, hand-writing notes as they went. Significant discrepancies would occur between production (what we made) and fulfillment (what we shipped). Year-end inventory was a troubling challenge, with unknown variances and results until a physical was taken. Accounting often did not match up well with production in reporting.
To see how Alpha Systems turned around these and other problems, increasing delivery capacity by over 25% with fewer warehouse staff and creating smooth, predictable year-end reconciliation's using our E-Z WMS, read our Alpha Systems Case Study
Rollpak Inc.’s Goshen, IN plant is a manufacturer of institutional can liners, supplying non-consumer based business trash can liners for all types of applications. At PSSI, our relationship with Rollpak extends back many years since we first helped them automate their accounting system in the 1990’s. Most recently, their deployment of our E-Z WMS Warehouse Management System is merely their latest step in increasing competitive advantage through the intelligent application of software and technology.
Rollpak General Manager Alan Wyne was instrumental in the deployment of the firm’s warehouse management system, which became the first (of several) commercial deployments of what is now the E-Z WMS. Today, he notes, “EZ-WMS has virtually eliminated our mis-shipments. The discipline required by the system in picking, packing and shipping makes the process faster and provides a much higher degree of accuracy than was possible prior to the deployment... E-Z WMS enabled Rollpak to run its business with as few as one-sixth the number of employees our competition uses."

Christian Light Bookstores
Christian Light Bookstores, based in Nappanee, Indiana, owns a chain of bookstores in the eastern United States. The company had been using an IBM System/38 for many years. The hardware was unsupported and the custom software was supported by a two person VAR. CLB was fearful of the consequences should their system crash. As a non-profit organization, the cost justification of a new system was critical.
