APTech knew they needed a modern and more complete system. They wanted a product that was easy to use and could scale with their growth.

They chose OptiPro Manufacturing as an established provider with lots of knowledge, experience, and best practices they could leverage. Read below to learn more about their decision and how OptiPro Manufacturing is helping their business.

“OptiPro Manufacturing is an established provider with lots of knowledge, experience and best practices we can leverage. We liked that OptiPro Manufacturing uses SAP, which our parent company uses, albeit an enterprise version, and that OptiPro Manufacturing has an internal implementation team – no third parties.”

President and CEO, Applied Physics Technologies

APTech, whose customers include Themo Fisher Scientific and its parent company Hitachi, was running on Sage ERP and IQMS as its MRP. They suffered from redundancy, double entry of data, and lots of errors.

APTech reviewed many other ERP systems before selecting OptiPro Manufacturing with SAP Business One. They liked the product’s ease of use, modern technology, scalability, and manufacturing functionality. They were excited to have everything on one platform that could support their future growth.

OptiPro Manufacturing has helped APTech streamline its processes, save time with efficiencies, and keep a clear division of staff and new roles as the company adds more employees. With greater optimization they can expand more easily into new product lines.
