Business Solution Delivers Yearly Savings of U.S.$3.5 Million for Concrete Firm

Overview

Oldcastle Precast, headquartered in the United States, produces a range of concrete products. The company historically managed its business processes using a 20-year-old UNIX-based software infrastructure. While this could still manage most of the company's operations, it was close to its limits in terms of scalability and financial viability. As a result, Oldcastle Precast decided to deploy a new business management system based on Microsoft Dynamics AX. This offers a central repository where management information from across the business is integrated. Enhanced visibility of operations has increased control over costs, reduced wastage and shrinkage, streamlined logistics processes, and improved customer service. The technology delivers deployment savings of U.S.$2.8 million and operational savings of U.S.$3.5 million annually.
