Software because our solution met all of their criteria. Why Minotaur? Win Chemicals migrated from ACCPAC to Minotaur over 18 years ago when their legacy system no longer met their needs. Prior to implementing Minotaur ERP, Win was tracking the lot numbers of chemicals manually in spreadsheets. Win Chemicals wanted to ensure they had full and fast traceability affording them liability protection and saving them precious time that was previously spent maintaining the manual lot control system. The company was looking for an ERP program that was strong in managing foreign currency conversions, so that they could expand into the U.S. market. Finally, as a process manufacturer, the critical criteria for Win Chemicals was a system that had a fully-integrated manufacturing module with full inventory control to track lots on raw materials in each lot controlled finished batch. Win Chemicals chose Minotaur 36 General Manager, Greg Weeks joined Win Chemicals in 1998 with Minotaur ERP already in place. He quickly began to appreciate the reporting flexibility Minotaur ERP offered. “It is both feature rich and yet quite flexible for customization.” The customized report writing features allowed Greg to pull information from within the system and customize his own reports with the available tools in order to support the company’s growth. Would you choose Minotaur again? Greg reports that Win Chemicals did just that! In 2005, he reviewed the software market to evaluate alternatives. He wanted to know what was available to confirm that their system was up to date and ensure that Win was set up to grow in international markets.
