Key benefits
Attention in service
Among the factors that contributed to the choice of Corrugated, Aldo commented on the relationship of trust and respect with the eProductivity Software team “Today, when I think of the team that helped us during the implementation process, I have fond memories. eProductivity Software employees were very human and generous, as well as transparent throughout the process”, said the vice president.
“In addition, the consultants are very familiar with the system and the industry and know the pains and needs of a company like Ceruti. Their presence in the global market was also relevant to the choice,” he added.

We can manage our production capacity to meet all orders within the stipulated dates, organizing more urgent priorities and deadlines”
“CTI, on the other hand, helps us to have an overview of the processes, to maintain competitiveness. This module contributes to making highly qualified sustainable businesses. The budget module has industry-specific characteristics and creates budgets taking into account different measures, areas, weight, and provides a breakdown of all components of the product and service.”

All production is controlled from the beginning until the final result “, said Aldo.
