abas USA Customizes ERP Solution to Meet Needs of Simply Canvas

STERLING, VA--(Marketwire - Aug 1, 2011) - abas-USA and Simply Canvas have partnered together to create a custom ERP solution that has cut average lead times from 5 to 3 days and has increased revenue by as much as 30%, without the use of any extra resources.

Website integration: abas-USA developed a custom ordering eB website. From here, customers choose the products they are interested in ordering, upload their digital picture to Simply Canvas where a service order is generated and the customer's picture is converted into high-end, professional photography artwork. This process, as well as real-time, customer facing order status is all integrated into the abas ERP software.

ROES™ integration: ROES™, the industry standard for uploading and editing digital images, is fully integrated into the abas ERP system. This component allows for the picture to be processed for canvas printing, within the abas ERP system, alleviating double entry and extra work.

FedEx™ integration: Integrating FedEx™ into abas ERP has created a seamless ordering process. Once the order is processed and ready to be shipped, a FedEx™ label is automatically generated and the customer is notified of shipment information. This offers one central place for information and a turn-key fulfillment process.

Graphical production schedule: Using abas dashboard technology, all daily production loads are visible from large, flat screen TVs posted on the factory floor, allowing all affected employees instant visibility into job statuses.

Marko Becker, Vice-President of Operations at abas-USA says, "The challenge was to support Simply Canvas in an emerging, ever changing market -- digital photography. The ERP works with eBusiness and supply chain solutions to provide Simply Canvas customers a seamless service and buying experience."
