The Challenge
CAM2, a world-class automotive lubricants company, was in a critical phase of expanding its market reach. The company needed a software solution that could cater to its growing needs and help manage its operations across four locations in the United States and numerous distributors worldwide. The challenge was to find a software package that was specifically designed for lubricant and chemical companies and could provide an all-in-one solution, covering manufacturing, accounting, and sales management.
The Solution
After evaluating different software solutions for almost a year, CAM2 chose Chempax as it was specifically developed for lubricant and chemical companies. Chempax provided an all-in-one solution, covering all aspects of CAM2's business, from manufacturing to accounting to sales management. As CAM2 grew and opened more manufacturing facilities, Chempax tied them all together in real time, providing accurate information to the company's management and staff. The software also helped CAM2 develop standard operating procedures, making the company more efficient in production and better able to control and manage its inventory at multiple locations. Datacor, the company behind Chempax, provided full support during the implementation process, offering training and ongoing support.
