Brown says customer demands are increasing, particularly in thermoform tooling. "Customers today want twice as 70-649 much in half the time," comments Brown. To keep up with growing demand, the thermoform tooling division has added seven new employees and four machines since 1995.

The tooling L.L. Brown produces is used to make a variety of thermoform plastic packaging for items such as cosmetics, kitchen and bath accessories, power tools, computer hardware and medical devices. Unlike replacement parts, L.L. Brown's thermoform customer base is nationwide. "Our marketing efforts consist of attending one national trade show each year, where we’ve always received a good response," says Brown.

"We’ve been able to expand our services because our manufacturing process is now totally under control, thanks to VCP-310 Vista functions like job entry, scheduling and inventory control," says Brown. "Production inquiry reports give us accurate, up-to-date feedback on our job performance." In 1998, L.L. Brown expanded into new office and manufacturing space, increasing the total size to almost 24,000 square feet across three buildings.

"Before Vista, our job history information was often incomplete or vague," explains Brown. "With Vista, historical data is readily available and easy to understand. We can easily check the status of a job in progress and immediately determine the job's profitability at its conclusion."
"In the past, our accounting function was separate from job tracking, which required a lot of double entries. It was also easy for things to be overlooked," says Brown. "With the integrated Vista system, accounting is much cleaner. Invoicing is a snap - the data is imported by simply entering a shipping number."

"Ninety percent of VCP-101V our employees are using Vista, including 100 percent of plant personnel," concludes Brown. "We have a greater knowledge of plant activities - far beyond what our previous software could accomplish. Vista has met our expectations and greatly simplified many daily activities.
