Suncast Corporation, a plastic injection molder supplying big-box retailers, implemented Epicor CMS ERP and Mattec MES to replace a 10-year-old modified legacy system. The integrated solution eliminated over 500 enhancement requests, replaced Excel-based scheduling with the CMS White-Board Scheduler, and connected customer service, purchasing, and shop floor operations. Real-time data from over 100 presses flows between Mattec and CMS, improving inventory accuracy by 5 percent and on-time shipping by 15 percent.
