Apollo Machine & Welding Selects IndustriOS’ Manufacturing Software to Meet the Challenges of an Expanding Business

Oakville, Ontario, June 1, 2011 - IndustriOS Software, developer of INDUSTRIOS manufacturing and distribution suite integrated with Sage ERP Accpac, is pleased to announce Apollo Machine & Welding (Apollo) has selected INDUSTRIOS to take their business to the next level in both Apollo divisions. Apollo Machine & Welding and Apollo-Clad Laser Cladding will be implementing INDUSTRIOS, powerful manufacturing software, to streamline their manufacturing operations and position them for greater growth.

Seamless integration to Sage ERP Accpac was a prime consideration for the Apollo team when making their software selection. In choosing INDUSTRIOS Laure Willis, Chief Executive Officer stated, “The team at IndustriOS Software were extremely responsive to our needs as demonstrated by their willingness to perform a site visit. During the visit they compared INDUSTRIOS with our existing solution in an apples to apples scenario to ensure we would retain our existing functionality as well as gain a multitude of benefi ts with the tight integration to Accpac. IndustriOS also displayed an incredible wealth of manufacturing knowledge that is instrumental to a successful implementation and that knowledge combined with a great solution fit in INDUSTRIOS made the choice clear.”

As a make-to-order manufacturing business with 95% of the orders beginning as quotes, it was important to have a system like INDUSTRIOS with a Quoting and Estimating module fully integrated with sales and production through to shipping. With the automation of quoting, Apollo will improve their responsiveness to their customers, save time moving the quote through sales into production, and gain better reporting and control overall.

Other key areas of benefit are time tracking and attendance along with shop fl oor tracking. The functionality INDUSTRIOS offers will enable Apollo to send a seamless flow of “punches” from the shop fl oor to management for review as well as automate the overtime calculation and export into Sage ERP Accpac Payroll. Not only will they save a significant amount of time but it will also
provide better job cost capture and provide the ability to manage efficiencies across their organization.

During the on site review, Eva DeGasperis, Vice President of IndustriOS Software, identified subcontracting as another key area where Apollo could benefit greatly from the functionality INDUSTRIOS offers. Again the automation they’ll gain with the fully integrated Subcontracting Services will allow them more time to focus on managing the vendors rather than the labor intensive
practices currently involved in preparing subcontract orders. Eva stated, “Apollo will be able to greatly streamline their processes using the standard functionality offered in INDUSTRIOS, the fit couldn’t be more perfect. We are looking forward to working with the team at Apollo.”

INDUSTRIOS, powerful manufacturing software, and Sage ERP Accpac, robust financial software, provide a winning end to end solution to Apollo Machine & Welding as well as sister company Apollo-Clad Laser Welding. Apollo will have the tools they need to help them grow now and meet the demands of the future.
