Master Packaging Chooses Radius Solutions as MIS/ERP System Provider

Chicago, Ill.—Radius Solutions Ltd. announced that Master Packaging is implementing its PECAS Vision software to support ongoing growth and provide a single integrated system to manage information across its entire operations.

Founded in 1961, Master Packaging enjoys a long standing history of combining experience with technical expertise to deliver quality packaging that helps drive superior performance for its clients. The organization serves companies in a variety of industries such as: snack foods, fresh produce, fruits and nuts, baked goods, condiments, candy, coffee, and pharmaceuticals. It also embraces green practices like recycling 100 percent of scrap materials and offering post-consumer recycling programs.

Master Packaging places an emphasis on taking advantage of the latest technology to improve operations while providing customer service with a strong focus on quality and careful attention to detail—to ensure each job is always done right. The company is run by an experienced group of industry executives who recognized the need to move to a single, fully integrated information management system to tie together all of its operations while providing scalability to support its ongoing double digit growth in revenue. Robust financials, real-time shop floor capabilities and easy access to a consolidated view of its company performance were also important factors in the decision to deploy a new system.

Because selecting the right long term applications partner was recognized as a critical decision, the organization undertook a thorough due diligence process to make sure it partnered with the right provider to achieve its objectives. “We have spent the better part of two years evaluating ERP providers knowing that whomever we decided to partner with would be an intimate part of our business for many years to come....we left no stone unturned,” said Ryan Madigan, CEO of Master Packaging, Inc.

Nearly twenty vendors were considered including generic ERP providers as well as industry specific systems providers. Two final companies were thoroughly evaluated before Radius Solutions was selected. “In the end, Radius Solutions emerged as the clear choice. They have far more experience in the packaging space than any other ERP provider we met with. They understand our business, our objectives and have demonstrated that they have a proven, executable implementation plan. We feel all of this combined with their state of the art, comprehensive software offering is going to dramatically improve our business in the coming years,” said Madigan.

Master Packaging will implement the entire PECAS Vision Suite including: sales and production estimating, order handling, production scheduling, shop floor data collection, material purchasing and inventory control, job costing and financials. The application will be rolled-out across all of the company’s operations and is expected to go live later this year.

“It’s a pleasure to partner with Master Packaging. Their company is a perfect fit for our organization. We are passionate about helping leading packaging companies, standardize their operations with an integrated system that can manage their entire business processes, while allowing easy access to their key business information. We are excited about what we can help them achieve,” said David Taylor, president and CEO of Radius Solutions.
