Result
Marathon Brake Systems sought a powerful
inventory control solution with integrated CRM

and tools Marathon Brake Systems uses to fuel its
operations.
A straightforward migration path eased the
transition. Flexible tools allow tailoring to meet
unique business needs. Quick access to accurate
data improves service.
ABC Compounding was using an older
manufacturing application that lacked essential
tools such as planning, scheduling, and MRP.
Sage ERP X3 offers a comprehensive suite of
manufacturing, distribution, and financial modules
A rapid implementation helps speed overall ROI.
MRP automates the creation of work orders,
eliminating manual data entry. Access to data is

Citizen Bank - Outsourced payroll provider ADP
was inflexible and expensive, imposing deadlines
and stiff penalties for late submissions. With
employees in 17 separate locations, the bank
needed an enhanced electronic timekeeping
solution to minimize data entry tasks.
Sage Abra Suite gives the bank complete control
over payroll and HR functions. With UNITIME
electronic time clocks, employees clock in and out
from their PCs, and the resulting time entries are
transferred directly into Sage Abra Suite HRMS.
Payroll for over 200 is handled effectively in house,
according to the bank’s schedule. Employees can
access pay vouchers online, eliminating the cost of
printing or distributing paper vouchers. Citizens
Bank projects a full return on investment in under
five years.
