Client Case Study
Mettis Aerospace
Consolidating several IT systems into one solution makes good sense. Backed by expertise from Exel Computer Systems plc, Mettis Aerospace has installed EFACS E/8 to do just that. It has introduced common business processes, enhanced data availability and has the ability to adapt to future requirements.
“We managed to pull all the different ways of working from the four business units together into one process for each functional area like purchasing, finance and sales.”
“The killer feature for us is flexibility. We have used the EFACS E/8 Customisation Toolkit and Workflow module a lot,” says Dave Green.
