QAD and Precision Software Power Filtration Manufacturer's Global Supply Chain Operations

Logistics Insight Asia - New Products, 30/7/2008

QAD, Inc recently announced that Filtrair BV, a Netherlands-based filtration manufacturer that specializes in filters for automotive paint facilities, gas turbines, intakes and high-end HVAC installations, has streamlined its global supply chain using a combined solution of QAD Enterprise Applications and Precision Software’s Global Trade Management solution. Precision Software is a division of QAD Inc.

Filtrair BV implemented the QAD-Precision solution to work in tandem with the already deployed QAD Enterprise Applications suite. As a result, Filtrair BV has been able to achieve tighter integration throughout its supply chain, leading to improved transfer and maintenance of data from order entry and processing, to delivery and invoicing.

Filtrair BV supplies its filtration products to customers in more than 80 countries in Europe, the Americas, Africa and Asia. This global audience requires a supply chain solution that can streamline communications with customs bureaus in each country, and help to more efficiently deliver products. The company already had achieved strong return on investment using QAD Enterprise Applications, so it was a natural choice to deploy Precision’s Global Trade Management solution.
Filtrair BV has utilized Precision’s Global Trade Management solution to support both its European and North American shipping requirements. The solution’s integrated platform has automated the production of export and shipping documentation, resulting in less time spent at customs and faster customer delivery. QAD and Precision’s open technology architectures made integration between Global Trade Management and the existing QAD enterprise resource planning solution, easy, and did not impact the company’s already successful business processes.
