Solo Fills Their Product Costing Cup with ImpactECS
Plastics container producer Solo Cup Company to implement ImpactECS as the centralized product costing system.
Online, January 14, 2011 (Newswire.com) - More than just a producer of red plastic party cups, Solo Cup Company is a $1.5 billion consumer products company that manufactures a wide range of single use plastic, paper and foam products for the food manufacturing, foodservice and retail industries. This Illinois-based company with 13 manufacturing locations has selected ImpactECS to deliver a centralized detailed product costing solution.
Improved decision-making and eliminating disparate systems are at the core of the ImpactECS implementation. By linking financial and manufacturing data from multiple ERP and manufacturing systems, with the detailed cost logic in ImpactECS, the Solo team will have the ability to calculate detailed cost results by SKU at the lowest WIP level. ImpactECS provides the tools needed to calculate new product standards and create quotes to support new product development, sales, and marketing. In addition, ImpactECS will deliver multiple views of costs for the various audiences within Solo and provides tools to simulate costs when inputs change.
"The plastic container products segment is new for ImpactECS, but the core problem it solves is the same as our other clients - providing access to accurate, detailed product costs," shared 3C Software President and CEO Matthew Smith. "We're excited to work with Solo Cup to implement a comprehensive enterprise costing solution that meets the needs of their financial and operations teams."
