MIAMI – Oct. 30, 2007 –
NGC® (New Generation Computing®) today announced that Bombay
Industries and Alex Cannon have implemented NGC’s RedHorse®
software, a complete ERP solution that is designed specifically
for Fashion, Apparel and Footwear. The system was deployed in
production at both companies in a record time of 45 days.
RedHorse is a user-friendly ERP system that includes EDI, order
processing and allocation, inventory and production control,
import management, shipping and financial accounting. The
RedHorse Executive Dashboard 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.
Alex Cannon, a leading men’s casual sportswear brand sold in
better department and specialty stores, selected RedHorse in May
2007 after extensive vendor evaluation. “We were impressed by
the ease of use of RedHorse and the strength of NGC’s technical
support team,” said Maya Mehta, controller for Alex Cannon. “The
availability of NGC’s support staff here in New York City was a
key factor in our decision.”
Bombay Industries, a private label menswear company, appreciated
RedHorse’s out-of-the-box capabilities. Rudy Lewis, Senior
Manager for Bombay Industries, found that few modifications were
necessary to effectively manage their business. “For the
modifications that did arise, NGC’s Professional Services staff
was quick to meet the challenge,” Lewis said. “This was a breath
of fresh air after working with other vendors that could take
several days to address critical implementation issues.”
“Bombay Industries and Alex Cannon are prime examples that rapid
ERP implementation is possible with the strong apparel-specific
capabilities of RedHorse,” said Alan Brooks, president, NGC.
“NGC worked closely with the companies, and we’re delighted that
they’re already starting to see a strong Return on Investment.”
RedHorse is part of NGC’s SQL Series, a comprehensive suite of
solutions designed to transform supply chain efficiencies in the
Fashion Apparel, Retail and Footwear industries. The series also
includes e-SPS® for Global Sourcing and visibility and e-PLM®
for Product Lifecycle Management, and can be deployed as
integrated, end-to-end solutions or best of breed.
