About The Customer
3 Sigma Corporation is a medium-sized company that provides custom adhesive and top-coated materials for the pressure-sensitive industry. The company was using an outdated back-end system that ran on MS-DOS, which was increasingly proving to be inefficient and inadequate for the company's growing needs. The company was also using pencil and paper to complete orders and other critical tasks, which was not only time-consuming but also prone to errors. The company needed a modern, efficient, and reliable system that could handle its operations and allow it to compete effectively in the market.
The Challenge
3 Sigma Corporation, a leading provider of custom adhesive and top-coated materials for the pressure-sensitive industry, was using an antiquated back-end system that ran on MS-DOS. The system was so outdated that employees were increasingly resorting to pencil and paper to complete orders and other critical tasks. The company needed a new, modern system that could handle its growing needs and allow it to compete in larger markets.
The Solution
After researching various options and meeting with several vendors, 3 Sigma selected Kenandy ERP. The Kenandy team was able to quickly understand 3 Sigma's needs and provide solutions to challenges specific to the company. For example, they were able to address the issue of the number of digits the Kenandy system used to code materials being different from 3 Sigma’s internal coding. The Kenandy ERP system, built on the Salesforce Platform, is flexible and extensible, allowing 3 Sigma's front- and back-end systems to work together seamlessly. The system also features customizable dashboards, enabling everyone across the organization to view precisely the information they need, exactly when and how they need to see it.

Field Device Asset Management For Chemical Company in China
Chinese chemical subsidiary of multinational corporation serves customers throughout the world. Sales offices and research and technology centers are strategically located to provide rapid response to customer requests. Just two workers were assigned to maintain thousands of intelligent instruments in three production units, so they could do little more than react to device issues as they appeared. This costly maintenance method inevitably led to unexpected downtime when a critical instrument failed. Plant management recognized the need to change from reactive to predictive maintenance for all assets, including instruments and control valves, but help was needed in implementing such a technology-based initiative.
