FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Top Manufacturing Companies Know It’s Smart to Focus on Costs
While many manufacturing companies are looking for ways
to effectively manage costs, 23 of IndustryWeek’s top 500
manufacturers have discovered the benefits of the
comprehensive Impact:ECS Enterprise Cost System by 3C
Software. The companies represented in the survey span
industries including paper, chemicals and rubber, steel,
semiconductor and food – all with complex and unique
production processes requiring flexible costing tools.
Through implementing Impact:ECS, these companies have linked
important cost information from corporate ERP systems and
shop floor production systems to provide business leaders
with tools to analyze and interpret cost data. Impact:ECS
handles traditional, standard, actual and hybrid accounting
methodologies as well as providing forecasting, budgeting
and reporting tools for cost managers and business leaders
alike.
“Our goal at 3C Software is to provide business leaders with
meaningful and actionable cost data so they are armed with
the information needed to improve business results”,
according to 3C Software CEO Matthew Smith . “We have added
new products, updated features and established partnerships
to continue to offer a solution that focuses on improving
business performance and not just a system that calculates
costs.” With the introduction of the Impact:ECS suite of
products earlier this year, 3C Software is able to provide a
holistic approach to managing costs as they move throughout
the production process.
