Enterprise solution for every industry
Our Customers are Our Purpose and Our Strength
People expect that an ERP system will allow them to run their business exactly how they want to, but more often than not, the ERP system is the glove and you’re the hand that has to squeeze into it.
Not so with OmegaCube. They helped us meet our vision rather than requiring us to formulate our processes around their solution.
There were competitors who weren’t as flexible as OmegaCube. OmegaCube assured us that they can do whatever we want them to do and they can adjust to fit our organization and not the other way around. They provided us insights into what they did for other customers and we saw what work they have done for them. This was, eventually, the final selling point for us.”
This was March 2020 and then COVID-19 hit. If we were still using the old FoxPro system and the manual way of operating, I don’t think we could have had everybody go home and work remotely.
With OmegaCube ERP, we were able to work remotely and still operate during the pandemic. Even though we just completed setting up our initial ERP system, our employees were able to run with it while working remotely and that ended up working out great. The system operated efficiently for sales, engineering, and purchasing.
I don’t think we could have done that with the old FoxPro system as we did with OmegaCube ERP. So the timing of implementing OmegaCube ERP was perfect.
