“SAP gives people more power to do their job. Everyone now has an instant overview of all elements related to a project. That’s been a real savings for our company – and would have been extremely time consuming to find out using our previous system.”
Joanie Malone, Controller, PM International Suppliers
PM International Suppliers is a global provider of pipes, tubing, valves, metal fittings and forgings for the energy, chemical and aerospace industries, among others. SAP Business One has streamlined end-to-end operations, reduced the time taken to produce reports and helped PM become a more agile business. The implementation, led by partner N’ware, ran so smoothly that PM’s parent company and five other subsidiaries are now migrating to SAP as well.
