MIAMI – Oct. 23, 2007 –
NGC® (New Generation Computing®) today announced that Modern
Amusement has implemented NGC’s RedHorse® software, a complete
ERP solution that is designed specifically for Fashion, Apparel,
Retail and Footwear. NGC’s rapid implementation services enabled
Modern Amusement to go live in only four weeks with key business
functions including Purchasing and Receiving, Customer Order
Processing, Invoicing and Accounts Receivable, Inventory
Control, and EDI.
Modern Amusement, a premier designer of men’s and women’s
sportswear, swimwear, and accessories, chose RedHorse based on
its out-of-the-box, industry-specific functionality combined
with ease of use and comprehensive reporting capabilities.
Another critical factor in the selection was the ability of
NGC’s Service personnel to ensure that the core business modules
in RedHorse could be implemented on a very tight schedule.
Modern Amusement faced a firm deadline in changing from a
third-party system to a new ERP solution, leaving no margin for
error.
“NGC worked closely with us to set the proper expectations and
define the milestones that would be needed for rapid
implementation,” said Vick Festekjain, CFO, Modern Amusement.
“Their commitment to the project matched ours at every step of
the way. We wouldn’t have made our deadline without the
extraordinary support and efficiency of NGC’s management, as
well as its Professional Services and Customer Service teams.
Implementing ERP in only four weeks is a phenomenal
achievement.”
“This implementation was a breakthrough for both companies
involved,” said Alan Brooks, president, NGC. “The dedicated and
professional team from Modern Amusement made it possible to get
RedHorse up and running very quickly, and we look forward to a
long-lasting relationship.”
RedHorse is a user-friendly ERP system that includes EDI, order
processing and allocation, inventory, production control, import
management, shipping and financial accounting. An Executive
Dashboard feature makes it easy to access real-time business
data and monitor Key Performance Indicators such as sales,
profits, inventory, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and
other critical business functions. RedHorse is part of NGC’s SQL
Series, a comprehensive, end-to-end suite of solutions that also
includes e-PLM® for Product Lifecycle Management and e-SPS® for
Global Sourcing.
