US folding carton printing and converting company Printed Specialties is replacing its existing estimating software system with the Epicor AVP (formerly Solarsoft aVP1) estimating software module.
Printed Specialties, based in Carrollton, Georgia, currently uses separate accounting, estimating and management information systems.
It will implement the estimating module of the Epicor AVP product packaging software as the first step in consolidating these systems to improve efficiency, information accuracy and costing control.
"We feel that good estimating capabilities drive the rest of the business," remarks Greg Smith, president of Printed Specialties. "The AVP estimating software will help us create estimates quickly and more accurately than before.
"Epicor took the time to understand what we wanted and tailored a solution that worked for us.
"As a growing company we want one integrated system that is easy to use, has a clean user interface, and provides access to all the information we need, when we need it.
With the AVP estimating software in place, we're setting the foundation to eventually implement the full AVP system."
