“Polytechs produces granules and mixtures for dilution for petrochemical companies that produce films, automotive alloys, etc. "says Patrick Cockerel, Chief Financial Officer." We are subcontractors for 90% of our production, remaining 10% constituting our own products, mainly food and non-food movies ".

Manage production and quality

Polytechs is allowed to manage inventory polymers belonging to its customers, in addition to its own stocks. "For a long time, we used a spreadsheet. But it was insufficient to conduct monitoring we wanted. Pretty soon, we wanted to better control the input and output streams while allowing better circulation information within the company. The new system also had to seamlessly integrate with the existing IT environment, that is to say, Microsoft Office SAARI and software. "
"We needed therefore a network operating system and a complete software production management It's a bit the infernal couple. UNIX, it is easy find production management software, but we did not want to UNIX, too tight. We quickly oriented to Windows NT Server 3.5, but we had a little trouble at the time, to find a production management system. Then we discovered Squalp, built around SQL Server and developed by ISOAR ". Squalp is scheduled to run on Windows NT Server and integrates Quality Management module. "Polytechs is certified ISO 9002 since 1993. We wanted strongly integrate the management of the quality management of production. "

For less than 1 MF

Today, all Polytechs processes are managed by computer. "It's simple, just enter a new order in our system to put Update planning, production, logistics, quality laboratory and the financial and accounting services. Everything is immediately recalculated based on quantities and time requested by our client. And if this causes, for example, a prediction of stock or replenishment of raw material, Microsoft Mail sends a message to our customers by e-mail or fax. And it will cost us, including training, less than one million francs. "
Since Polytechs works differently. "The benefits are enormous: with its full integration with Microsoft Office and Windows, Squalp does not disturb 40 Users who have highly accepted our new organization. Information exchange between software occur naturally, and in addition, we analyze much better costs. Production costs we now calculate are closer to reality than before. "
