About the customer

Plastiglas de México S.A. de C.V., a company from Unigel group, is the North-American leader in the market of cell-cast acrylic sheets, with majority interest in Mexico, USA and Canada.

Since 1959, Plastiglas is dedicated to the production of acrylic sheets using the cell-cast process, with the largest facilities in America. It is also the main distributor of world known brands of plastic and chemical laminates from Mexico.

Challenges

Plastiglas used to count on SAP software. By instruction of Unigel group, which used TOTVS ERP solution in all its plants, the migration to TOTVS ERP software had to be performed in 3 months. Another important issue was to integrate the ERP with an Advanced Production System that could provide a better response time to its customers.

Solutions:

• Implementation in record time (less than 3 months);
• Later implementation of the Advanced Production System (APS);
• 40% of cost reduction in the IT department;
• Reduction of property costs;
• Better cost-benefit ratio.

TOTVS Products and Services to this customer:

• Advanced Production System (APS) module;
• Complete solution of Datasul EMS complementary to APS;
• Payroll of the company allied to Datasul SCI.

Testimonial

“With TOTVS Software, you can do everything. We have all the modules: distribution, inventories, purchases, sales, financials, invoicing, etc. The entire company is managed by the same system, and since people are used to make daily records, we can have information on the company's operations in real time and whenever we need.”

“Up to now, working with TOTVS has been a very good experience. By now, we see some results we expected, and the learning curve was not so high. In this first stage, the system has about 40 simultaneous users; in the second, there will be 80, and 110 in the third.”

“Lower operation cost, with less personnel and time; that is what we have noticed by using the solution. We have improved the process efficiency with a 40% reduction.”
