QAD Inc. (NASDAQ:QADI), a leading provider of enterprise software and services for global manufacturers, announced today that MAUSER Group, a leading manufacturer of industrial packaging products, has chosen to implement QAD Business Intelligence (BI) to improve its strategic and tactical planning initiatives throughout the organization.
During the past few years, MAUSER has initiated a “buy-and-build” growth strategy that has extended the company’s international reach and tripled its sales volume. Today, MAUSER is a world-class manufacturer with more than 50 production facilities worldwide. Specializing in plastic, metal, fiber and intermediate bulk container (IBC) packaging products; reconditioning services; and developing machinery for packaging production; MAUSER needed to expand its data intelligence capabilities to meet the needs of its current success and future growth.
MAUSER chose QAD Business Intelligence, a robust QAD Enterprise Applications module comprising three key application components: QAD BI Data Warehouse, BI Module(s) and the QAD BI Portal. Combined, these powerful components will provide MAUSER decision makers with easy access to consolidated performance-based data from multiple sources across the enterprise and provide a complete solution that enables key decision makers to access, analyze and share critical information, dynamically.
“To make accurate, informed decisions for controlling and planning, we must provide our Board of Directors with consistent information on the operations of all of our sites that use QAD Enterprise Applications,” says Dr. Bernhard Rohde, CIO of the MAUSER Group. “With QAD BI we will be able to consolidate, analyze and share our information in a way that strengthens our competitive advantage.”
“We are also pleased to know that with QAD BI we can deliver consistent reports and results that ensure our planning, forecasting and cost controlling initiatives are fully optimized,” Dr. Rohde added.
