Press Release - Hilite International

KINNELON, N.J. -- (BusinessWire) – Hilite International is a privately held, rapidly growing, multinational corporation with manufacturing facilities in France, Germany and the US. Hilite's products perform critical functions for engine control, 4-wheel torque transfer, transmission and vehicle frame systems.

In its search for a platform for continued growth, the company replaced its home-grown enterprise system with QAD Enterprise Applications in 1996. But its automotive customers' demands were growing as well, and the company was soon faced with the need to deploy scanning technology to meet ASN requirements. Hilite selected an automated data collection (ADC) and bar coding vendor to help them meet the automakers' requirements, but before long that solution failed to keep up with the company's need for a more sophisticated global solution.

"Replacing our initial automated data collection and bar coding system became necessary for several reasons," said Bryan Holman, Hilite's Corporate IS Manager. "On the business side, we needed a real-time ADC/bar coding system like RF Express™ for Enterprise Applications that could handle a multi-site, multinational rollout to newly acquired sites in Europe.

"On the systems side, we were saddled with outmoded architecture that cost us performance, speed and even stability. The system was not real-time, it utilized a secondary (off-line) server and all data from the wireless devices had to transfer through a PC before reaching its destination."

Bill Paone, Executive VP, Sales and Marketing, at Eagle Consulting commented, "Eagle enabled Hilite to replace an outdated system with an online, real-time system designed specifically for QAD Enterprise Applications and enjoy a lower cost of ownership. RF Express for QAD Enterprise Applications did not require new hardware, nor did Hilite incur the cost of lengthy implementation/training cycles. Last but not least, Eagle's worldwide presence means the company is well positioned for growth in any direction."
