IBS US signs with Aiphone Corporation
Press Release Nov 15, 2001
International Business Systems (IBS), the worldwide leader of wholesale distribution software for the IBM iSeries, announces their newest customer with the signing of Aiphone Corporation, the leading wholesale distributor of intercom solutions and entry security systems within the U.S. and Canada. Aiphone had outgrown their previous system's capabilities and needed a fully integrated enterprise solution, eliminating the reliance on third party software products. After an in-depth software evaluation, they chose IBS over twelve other distribution specific packages. Aiphone will be using a vast assortment of ASW modules including Financials, Distribution, Inventory Management Extreme, Warehouse Management, Analyzer Business Intelligence, DRP, Advanced Pricing, Production Control, Landed Cost, Sales Order Settlement, Advanced RF, Service, Asset Control, Tax Management, and its leading edge supply chain integration tool AISeries.
"We have been running our business on IBM midrange servers for the last 18 years and have enjoyed less than 4 hours of total downtime during that period. The fact that IBS runs on the iSeries platform was a deciding factor in choosing them as a partner. IBS provides a complete end to end solution with no reliance on other software providers. That is one of many reasons why we chose IBS over the competition," stated Scott Antes, Information Services Manager, Aiphone. "The strength of the Inventory Control module will help us grow our business by having the right product at the right place at the right time. Like all IBS modules, Production Control is built from the ground up and fully integrated. It will allow us to do more customization for our customers and have better control of our environment. IBS will help us increase our customer service and our bottom line," says P. Jason French, Controller, Aiphone.
"We are very excited to have Aiphone for a partner. The benefits they will derive from having a fully integrated system will allow them to focus on growing their business, not on managing application vendors," states Barry Christian, President, IBS US.
