TWSCO Selects TECSYS - The Emerging Market-Leading Supplier of Distribution Software Solutions to the Gas and Welding Supplies Industry

 
 
MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwire - Sept. 22, 2009) - TECSYS Inc. (TSX:TCS - News), an industry-leading supply chain management software company announced today that TWSCO (Texas Welders Supply Co., Inc.), a leading distributor of industrial gases, specialty gases, welding equipment and related services, has selected TECSYS' EliteSeries to streamline their business processes, reduce operating cost, strengthen their competitive advantage and improve customer service and delivery.

TWSCO provides packaged gas, microbulk, and bulk solutions, along with welding equipment, and related services to the industrial, petrochemical, scientific, laboratory and environmental industries. The Company operates in one of the most competitive and diverse markets and it is not unusual for them to compete with ten or more suppliers in a single sales opportunity. TWSCO has always maintained a single focus at being "The Best" at what they do, and up until the recent economic slowdown, has maintained a 25-30% annual growth rate.

To strengthen its business processes, TWSCO embarked on a continuous improvement program using the Kaizen methodology. The fundamental objective of Kaizen is the implementation of a measurement-based strategy that focuses on the customer, process improvement, and the elimination of waste. By empowering people with tools and methodology, such as those offered by TECSYS, TWSCO is able to eliminate step redundancies, increase production and effectiveness, and achieve higher levels of customer satisfaction.

"After evaluating the current state of our business systems and processes and comparing that to where we need to be, it became obvious that our current system could no longer support our business objectives moving forward. We selected TECSYS' EliteSeries because of its inherent support of "best practices" and the ability to extend the system to support our unique requirements. The solution's fit to our industry is "out of the box" as well as the ability to support the "Kaizen Philosophy"; in essence it is delivery and service quality at the lowest cost that was attractive to us. Our decision was very timely! The slower business climate allows us to focus on restructuring our business processes on a solid footing and deploy technology to get ready for the challenges ahead when the recovery takes full effect," stated Scott Chenoweth, President of TWSCO.

With TECSYS' EliteSeries and TrackAbout, TWSCO will have better control over their distribution operations. TWSCO will be assured of the quality and accuracy of data collected in the field and gain real-time visibility to the information needed to make better business decisions. TWSCO will also realize the following benefits:

- Efficient supply chain execution - effectively address the many challenges of transaction-rich processes with the processing power and access to pertinent, real-time information. Virtually no manual functions compared to before.

- Access to information at their fingertips - Easy access to accurate information, reporting and analysis, ensuring that management has the information they need to make the right decisions.

- Improved customer service - real-time information, tracking of inventory and cylinders at all times wherever they are. Enables management and customer service representatives to better serve customers and respond to their queries, quickly and efficiently.

- Strengthened support - substantially strengthened support to their IT infrastructure and brings TECSYS' proven distribution applications and methodology to its operations.

- Significant competitive advantage - automation/streamline of their business processes, quality of delivery and the ability to have clear visibility across their supply chain will empower TWSCO to deliver quality service to their customers and significantly improve their competitive advantage.
