abas-USA Celebrates Successful ERP Implementation With Cadman Power Equipment


STERLING, VA--(Marketwired - Dec 12, 2013) -  Located in Southwestern Ontario, Canada, Cadman Power Equipment recently went live with abas ERP. Cadman has produced quality farming equipment since 1952. Their highly innovative engineers utilize cutting edge technology to continually improve the current line as well as develop new products. The implementation of abas ERP will help them continue to grow in their market.

Before implementing abas ERP, Cadman Power Equipment recognized their need for a comprehensive ERP package due to their rapid growth. Their legacy accounting and manufacturing systems conflicted, resulting in problems with duplicate entry, inventory control and process management. They were looking for an ERP system which would eliminate these pain points without having to buy custom mix-and-match modules. abas ERP proved to be the perfect fit.

Craig Thibodeau, Information Technology Manager, selected abas ERP along with the Cadman management team based on the architecture of the system. "I like the structure of the custom abas database and the fact that the system runs in Linux, which will make it more stable in the long run. I also like the way the system can be customized without disrupting the root functionality or interfering with our upgrade path." Additionally, he noted that "The Project Lead from the abas team was an unbelievable source of information. He knows ERP and abas so well that it's almost frightening."

Paul Hemmings, Director of Professional Services at abas-USA, said, "The project was successful, because we followed our methodology and evaluated their structure and business rules, which allowed us to implement abas in-line with their processes, to make sure that it serves their current requirements while allowing room for future growth."
