Pecas Vision ERP helps Multi-Color consolidate plants

MIS software supplier Radius Solutions has announced that Multi-Color Corporation has implemented Pecas Vision in three additional facilities. Multi-Color Corporation is leveraging  Pecas Vision as its standard business information management platform across all of its operations.

Founded in 1916 and headquartered in Cincinnati, Multi-Color Corporation is one of the world’s leading converters, serving over 650 customers in the US, Canada, Mexico, Central and South America. It is the world's largest producer of in-mold labels and heat transfer labels.

As part of its growth strategy, Multi-Color Corporation acquired NorthStar Print Group, the label manufacturing subsidiary of Journal Communications. In order for the organization to realize the full potential of its acquisition, it was imperative that it integrate the three NorthStar plants, to enable transactions and visibility across all eight plants.

The company wanted to standardize on a single ERP/MIS solution and embrace best practices across all facilities. This included common reporting from all plants in order to gain insight into the acquired plants and to enable them to better utilize all available capacity for optimized performance.

‘Prior to the implementation of  Pecas Vision in the additional facilities, we had very limited visibility into the NorthStar plants. They were independent and we never knew if we were comparing apples to apples when we looked at the same metrics. Today we can run standard reports, such as the waste report, for each plant, break things into standard categories, and allow an even comparison of the performance at each facility,’ said Greg Myers, vice president of information technology for Multi-Color Corporation. 

‘Pecas Vision is fully integrated from front end operations through to shipping. This allows us to respond quickly to our customers, and helps us utilize the most efficient means of running each project across whichever plant capabilities best meet the needs of the job. It is a competitive advantage to be able to quickly and easily do what we need to do and provide customers with the kind of service they are looking for,’ continued Myers.

Multi-Color Corporation is a long standing client of Radius Solutions, using the full  Pecas Vision ERP system across all of its operations.
