INTEGRA USERS SPEAK OUT

VALCO FURNITURE, LTD.
“It’s all about maintaining control of our operations, which in turn enables our employees to make more informed decisions.”
-Valère Côté, President

The Challenge:
In early 1999, Valco realized it could no longer rely on telephone calls, faxes and emails to communicate among the company’s three manufacturing plants. Countless hours were being spent on the phone or sifting through extensive paper trails. The challenge was clear: integrate all mission critical data into a single, simple, seamless IT solution.

The Solution:
After extensive research, Valco chose the INTEGRA e-business suite, which ran effectively on Valco’s existing Novell NetWare system. In a very short time, Valco’s employees were able to access files simultaneously, automatically updating the core Oracle database when changes were made, to ensure everyone was working with the same data.

The Results:
With INTEGRA e-Business, Valco has been able to centralize all plant functions. And, because plant information is available in real-time, one person can manage the purchasing process for all three sites. By totally eliminating repetitive tasks, processing time was slashed by 30%.

“Real-time access to information greatly improved our decision-making process… We now have the freedom and flexibility maintain a competitive edge.” says company President, Côté.
