Press Release - PPG Aerospace PRC-DeSoto

KINNELON, N.J. - (Business Wire) - PPG Aerospace PRC-DeSoto chose Eagle Consulting & Development’s online, real-time automated data collection and bar coding solution for its manufacturing plants and Application Support Centers (ASCs) running QAD Enterprise Applications.

PRC-DeSoto is a technology and industry leader in the development of aerospace sealants and coatings. The company is a primary supplier of high-performance aerospace coatings and sealants to airframe manufacturers Boeing and The Airbus Industrie consortium.

According to IT Manager, Jeanie May, Eagle's product, RF Express™ for QAD Enterprise Applications, has reduced overtime, reduced staff, reduced the time to perform physical inventory by at least 25%, and improved inventory accuracy. "But even that doesn't tell the whole story," says May. "Eagle's integration with QAD gave us the real-time option we were looking for. We were able to put transactions on the floor where they belonged. Not only did that free up our planners and schedulers to do what we really needed them to do, it provided additional and timely validation and faster visibility into the movement of materials."

Donna Hyatt, Operations Manager at the Application Support Center in Dallas, adds, "The ability to put inventory into specific locations empowers our employees to move forward with confidence. In addition, Eagle's outstanding Technical Support Staff ensures that, when we have questions, they are there for us with the answers and support we need. "

Bill Paone, Executive VP Sales and Marketing at Eagle, says, "PRC-DeSoto performed a rigorous vendor investigation process before choosing Eagle. They liked the fact that Eagle had so much standard functionality that they could use right off the shelf. Even after they completed some modifications to their enterprise system, RF Express for QAD Enterprise Applications 'sat on top' of the system without modification."

From the first go-live to the present, PRC-DeSoto has implemented RF Express for QAD Enterprise Applications at two manufacturing sites and five ASCs. Phase 2 of the rollout began this year with the implementation of additional ASCs and more due to come on line near the end of the third quarter.
