Converter adds business management software

Rice Packaging Solutions, a converter serving the food and beverage industry, has selected a business management software solution built specifically for packaging operations.

“We’re proud of our 99.86% on-time delivery and equally matched quality assurance,” says Bruce Frey, CFO at Rice Packaging Solutions. “We knew we needed to replace our legacy system in order to continue to meet and exceed our customers’ expectations.” The solution: Epicor AVP.

Designed specifically for folding carton manufacturers, Epicor AVP will replace Rice Packaging Solutions’ DOS-based accounting program and homegrown operating system, which have been in place for more than 30 years. “Our legacy systems were inefficient and we were constantly running into problems trying to integrate them with modern graphic design programs,” says Frey as he explains how errors occurred because the hardware overran their packaging design software with the wrong instructions. “In addition, we were dealing with double invoices and bad inventory numbers, among other inefficiencies and inaccuracies. Putting all of this together, we had to change.”
