Sierra Pacific Packaging Invests in New Business Information Management System from Radius Solutions

Monday 23. March 2009 - Packaging organization continues investment in state-of-the-art technology to provide exceptional value to clients.

Radius Solutions Ltd., the leading integrated business information management system provider for the Packaging industry, announced that Sierra Pacific Packaging is implementing its PECAS Vision software package.

Founded in 1995, Sierra Pacific Packaging Inc. provides folding cartons, beverage carriers and single-face corrugated box products to the consumer packaged goods industry. It offers specialty services for hundreds of craft brew beer companies and serves the nation’s eighth largest brewer, Sierra Nevada Brewing. SPPI is one of the largest local employers in Oroville California, and is a leader in sustainability practices — producing beverage carriers made from 100% recycled materials.

The organization’s focus on quality products, outstanding service and excellent prices, has helped it achieve high customer satisfaction ratings and double digit growth for the past several years. The company’s ongoing commitment to reinvestment led to the search for a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, one that could further improve efficiencies, lower costs and provide a foundation for future growth.

Sierra Pacific Packaging evaluated several industry specific solutions providers before selecting two finalists and closely checking the references of each. Radius Solutions was selected based on the strong fit of the PECAS Vision product along with a well defined implementation plan by experienced consultants. “We felt that PECAS Vision was the closest fit for our needs and that it would provide a superior Return on Investment. We also thought Radius Solutions had a solid implementation plan,” said Mike Bechtol, (Vice President of Client Services and Marketing), of Sierra Pacific Packaging.

Sierra Pacific plans to implement the entire PECAS Vision system to gain efficiencies, lower costs and improve processes across its operations. The company also plans to leverage the new Business Intelligence offering from Radius Solutions, to help improve access to data for decision making — such as profitability analysis by job type.

“It is a pleasure to work with Sierra Pacific Packaging. They have very clear goals of what they want to achieve with a new system. Their objectives are right in line with what we strive to help our customers achieve every day,” said David Taylor, President and CEO of Radius Solutions.
