Saving the customer money…Customer spent $5K and saved $48k!!!

“On a cold winter Wednesday, I joined a metal fabrication conference in the Cleveland area. We were led to a room covered in brown; the far wall lit up by a projector. As I unpacked my laptop, trusty notepad and pen, I was approached by a man with a jovial smile. The feeling that I should know him welled up inside me. After taking a second glance at my nametag, he said, “we’ve worked together, but we’ve never met face-to-face.” He went on to tell me how years prior we collaborated on a BPM that defaulted the correct shipping address for purchase orders according to the User-ID on the PO. “Before you built that, about once a month, these huge semi-loads would arrive at our office building, over 400 miles away from the factory. It was extremely frustrating, but now we can laugh about it because your BPM has saved us 10’s of thousands of dollars. It hasn’t happened since.” He shook my hand and thanked me, as we remembered working together. Hearing this story made me proud of what I do and where I work.”

“General Formulations is a mid-sized manufacturing company currently using Epicor® for our manufacturing system. We have used PTS for a number of tasks including custom SSRS reports, custom dashboards, BPM’s, and Go Live Support. I have found PTS knowledgeable, talented and extremely capable in the work that they have done for our company. I have worked with Jim, Sam, Jarrad, and Glenn and found them all to be consummate professionals with great attitude and ability. I can recommend PTS with the greatest confidence to anyone looking for top-notch help in implementation and customization of Epicor®.”

“I do want to say I have been very impressed with PTS and in helping us deal with this problem. (Our consultant) has been great and I know he hasn’t been alone in assisting us on this. Your help is greatly appreciated, and PTS is a great partner.”

“I found PracticalTek with a Google search. I spoke and met with Jim Chance and had a lengthy discussion about his company’s capabilities. Everything sounded well as they possessed the capabilities we wanted, the reasonable rate and low risk. That is, if this did not work out, I could sever the relationship quickly and move on. We have provided PTS with detailed specs often with screen-shots. Our initial specs were for relatively simple customization’s. We found that PTS worked very efficiently and coordinated very well with the project team. Today the staff of PTS is tackling our most complex customization and is working with us on other Epicor® implementation issues. We also will utilize their report-writing capabilities shortly. Because of this positive relationship, I highly recommend PTS for their efficiency, knowledge, communications and professionalism. “
