Case Study: Distek, Inc. achieves real-time visibility and major efficiency gains with M1 Business Management System

M1 Brings New Efficiencies and Increased Access to Key Business Data

Distek, a New Jersey–based manufacturer of pharmaceutical testing instruments and validation services, was running its business on QuickBooks and multiple Access databases, which forced redundant data entry, slow reporting and limited visibility across departments. Needing a modern, reliable ERP and implementation partner, Distek selected the M1 Business Management System from ECI Software Solutions to replace its cobbled-together systems.

ECI’s M1 provided a guided implementation and ongoing technical support, and Distek went live on September 14, 2012. The M1 system delivered immediate gains: inventory receipts are visible in real time (instead of the next day), part allocations now occur at order entry rather than waiting up to two weeks, and reports that once took days are completed in about 30 minutes—greatly reducing manual work and improving operational visibility and decision making.
