The Challenge
CalTex was outgrowing their 15+ year old ERP system, and was the largest organization using their legacy system at the time. Their business needs had outpaced their solution, slowing down processing speeds. Cal-Tex also needed a greater ability to customize their system.
About The Customer

CalTex serves the automotive industry, including cars, trucks, SUVs, crossovers, and RVs. CalTex has a strong and dedicated sales team. This employee-owned company focused on quality products and service, and has been recognized by Inc. Magazine as one of the Top 5000 Fastest Growing Companies for seven years.
