挑战
Zeller + Gmelin Corporation, a leading international manufacturer of UV high-quality specialty printing inks for the graphics industry, had outgrown its SNAP process manufacturing software and was looking for a replacement solution that was robust, flexible and would allow a smooth changeover. In addition, Zeller + Gmelin needed a way to provide remote access from its nine branch locations to link the entire enterprise for a more efficient operation.
关于客户

解决方案
Zeller + Gmelin Corporation chose Datacor’s Chempax software to replace SNAP. Chempax provided all the features currently used in SNAP as well as many others that were needed. Chempax was easy to use, gave the company access to critical business information and linked its nine branches.
