A single ERP solution (Microsoft Business Solutions - Navision) runs throughout the organisation, realising significant operational efficiencies and cost savings. A modern computer system also makes it easy to work across national borders. Of course it is essential that all members of staff are kept up to date with the system and to this end, Kerry Meehan has recently joined Rapierstar to provide training on IT with special focus on the newly installed Microsoft Dynamics. Kerry has a BTEC national diploma in IT and is an enthusiastic and valuable member of the team Mon, 02 Jul 2007 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.rapierstar.com/announcements.asp#299 http://www.rapierstar.com/announcements.asp#298 As a market leading supplier of specialist fixings, Rapierstar has a long history in helping to provide training when requested by their customers. A party from some of the largest fabricators in Ireland was recently welcomed to their Bosley site to take advantage of the training facilities provided. Guests included representatives from Malplas, Dessian and Senator Windows as well as Rapierstar's distributors in Southern Ireland, Universal Products. The visit was organised to take in the whole range of product tests that Rapierstar have within their in-house test facility including, uniquely, salt spray testing. This resulted in a very full day for their guests. However, as they say, all work and no play. . . and the evening was spent enjoying a Chinese Banquet in Manchester's Chinatown followed by a visit to The Comedy Store, where a very good time was had by all!
