Squire Corrugated Container Upgrades their Solarsoft Business System

Lombard, IL – March 25, 2010  Solarsoft Business Systems, a leading developer of software for the paperboard packaging industry worldwide, announced today that Squire Container Corporation of South Plainfield, NJ, has upgraded their business software system to the latest version of Solarsoft’s business software for corrugated manufacturers, HRMS Gen/2.  Squire Corrugated has been manufacturing premium quality corrugated products for over 40 years, and prides themselves on their innovative design, rapid turnaround and the talented people that they employ.

The Gen/2 software includes a more versatile Purchase Order module, streamlined Order Entry and enhanced functionality for the estimating of assembled and unassembled sets as a part of Release 2006, the previous release of the HRMS software.  Building further on the functionality of the previous release, Gen/2 utilizes a role-based user home page and enables data to be exported into Microsoft Office applications through comprehensive data extraction tools built into the software.  The Gen/2 PowerSearch™ tool allows users to create their own queries against any data in the system, and minimizes the time needed to process daily work by allowing instant access to important information without the interruption of the current task performed.

Comments from the software users at Squire Container attest to the power of Gen/2.  Here’s what James Beneroff, Squire’s President, had to say:

“Gen/2 interacts with all departments at Squire Corrugated – even those utilizing third party software, such as Payroll and Design.  We were pleased to see the installation and data conversion completed in one weekend, a testimony to the planning and support provided by Solarsoft.  One of the services that we provide to our customers is complex design, production and delivery of multi-part protective and promotional packaging in a very short time span.  The integration of our CAD software system with Gen/2 estimating and order entry permits fast and accurate order processing and materials procurement.  The Power Searches allow us to answer customer requests faster, enhancing overall customer satisfaction.  Enhanced order history data gives our customer service team greater ability to answer questions over the phone, or via automated email and fax systems.  In addition, the ability to track orders in real-time is made possible with plant floor workstations and the new bar-code inventory tracking system.  We can also easily create custom reports in-house.  Previously we would have required additional programming to do this.  Gen/2 has also increased our processing efficiencies by minimizing duplication and material waste.”

Squire Production Manager Rich DiGangi adds: “Previously, cross-referencing order data would take multiple steps, now we can access all order data instantaneously – the information is available on one screen.  This allows me to view everything about an order and make quicker, more informed decisions.”
