Concrete Reinforcing Products Goes Live On Verticent ERP Applications

Verticent, Inc., a leading developer of enterprise software solutions for small-to-medium size manufacturers and distributors, announced that Concrete Reinforcing Products (CRP), a metal service center company providing rebar and high tensile wire, has successfully completed an implementation of the Verticent ERP solution.

Eric Furman, Chief Financial Officer at CRP stated, "By implementing Verticent, we were not simply choosing to implement new software, but rather to change and improve the way we run our business. We now have higher information availability, are more responsive to our customers' needs and can respond to market changes a lot faster than we ever could before." Mr. Furman added, "We took advantage of all of the professional services that Verticent has to offer. It was more than simply training and education, but rather we were able to benefit from the implementation consulting, data conversion and custom programming services available to us as well. Verticent offers an intriguing solution when unique business needs must be met; they do this through a collaborative, economical and streamlined delivery mechanism that has been refined over the course of their many successful implementations."

Scott Galloway, President of Verticent stated, "We really enjoy working with visionary companies like CRP. Supply chain pressures are greater than ever and we are seeing more and more metal service center companies like CRP coming to Verticent to help them optimize and streamline their entire `quote to cash' business process. In the case of CRP, their supply chain includes some added complexities of importing steel from overseas suppliers. Verticent is helping CRP solve those business issues and in turn is able to help them better meet their customers' requirements."
