JohnsByrne upgrading business management software with EFI Radius

Celebrating its 56th year in business, JohnsByrne is a custom packaging and print products provider catering to major brands in health and beauty, consumer products and entertainment. Located in Niles, Illinois, with offices in Burbank, California and an East Coast sales presence, JohnsByrne is an existing EFI MIS user and is switching its business management software platform to EFI Radius to take advantage of its packaging-specific features.

Radius is part of the EFI Productivity Software suite of printing and converting MIS/ERP, web-to-print and eCommerce options.

‘We have been an EFI customer for a long time,’ said Corey Gustafson, president at JohnsByrne. ‘It has been a good journey and we have always been early adopters. We wanted to move to a solution that was more dynamically integrated and aligned with the package manufacturing process. We are excited that EFI Radius is tailored to our structural packaging environment.’

‘Greater electronic visibility into job costs means we can tie it all together and be better positioned to take out unnecessary steps and costs,’ added Gustafson. ‘That means less duplication of effort and the ability to continue our growth without adding excessive resources.

‘EFI's software technologies help us understand exactly what our costs are each step of the way. Once we implement Radius in early 2015, we believe we will be able to build even greater efficiencies.’

David Taylor, general manager of the enterprise segment within EFI Productivity Software, said: ‘JohnsByrne is a dynamic company that is not satisfied with doing things the way they have always been done, which is apparent from its transition to EFI Radius.

‘Our Productivity Software portfolio is unique in its ability to support customers as they develop and transform their businesses, which is what exactly we are doing now as we help JohnsByrne drive greater profitability in its premium packaging and high-impact direct mail business.’
