Proquis Fills The ERP Gaps For McGuffie Brunton

Business management software specialist, Proquis Ltd. has signed a collaborative agreement with ERP systems company, McGuffie Brunton to market their respective IT solutions to each other's customer base throughout the UK.

Proquis, which provides software solutions in the areas of document control, customer management, process mapping and standards compliance, will offer SYSPRO ERP users a structured and integrated document management system that will enable them to better manage and improve the quality of company-wide documentation that lies behind and has an impact on their production and planning processes, such as product specification sheets and machine maintenance schedules.

In essence, an integrated Proquis/SYSPRO system manages the authorisation of documents so that users can be confident that when they click to view a document on screen then that document has been approved and is the latest version. All documents that are managed using Proquis are subjected to a structured approach of access, change requests, edits and authorisation. A history file within Proquis provides users with information on previous change requests and authorisation details.

The new Proquis/SYSPRO ERP set up provides companies with a number of key business benefits such improved production confidence through the quality of documentation, a reduction in production waste and better customer relationships. Proquis software is complimentary to MRP/ERP systems and eliminates some of the gaps in areas such as complaint handling, document, equipment, audit, training, personnel and resolution management.

Bill Best, Sales and Marketing Director for Proquis said: "Proquis has been working with McGuffie Brunton for sometime now and I am delighted that we have been able to formalise our ongoing relationship to the benefit of both firms. Just as McGuffie Brunton has customers who are seeking a document management system, we have also have customers who are looking for an ERP system that is easily integrated with our software."
