Company Profile

Quali Tech is a multimillion-dollar producer of more than 1,000 feed and food products for more than 40 countries. Quali Tech has over seventy-five employees in its two manufacturing sites with over 100,000 sq ft. of manufacturing and warehouse space. Quali Tech has prospered by becoming the premier value-added manufacturer and customer-friendly processor in the industry.

Business Situation

Quali Tech's AS/400-based enterprise and process management software had served the company well for over a decade, but the company felt it needed a more robust and full-featured solution to increase efficiency and to meet growth plans. Quali Tech selected an ERP platform from SCT -- the leading enterprise application focused solely on manufacturers and distributors in the process industries such as food and beverage, chemical, pharmaceutical, and consumer packaged goods. The new system required a significant platform shift for Quali Tech.

Alto's Solution

Alto recommended Microsoft SQL Server as the data engine because of SQL Server’s reliability, scalability and low cost of ownership. To also decrease administration and maintenance costs, Alto recommended delivering the SCT application to the desktops using Citrix MetaFrame. With little or no experience in Microsoft SQL Server, Windows NT Server or Citrix MetaFrame, Quali Tech turned to Alto for help in planning, designing and implementing a comprehensive re-architecture of their LAN and WAN environments. In addition to the company-wide integration of the SCT application, Alto integrated Microsoft Exchange as the messaging platform and Windows NT Server as the file and print server.

Business Benefit

The cost savings to Quali Tech have been great as they have been able to run a more efficient operation by consolidating data, producing more accurate reports and standardizing data elements across departments. In the end, the new SCT solution has allowed Quali Tech to fullfill their mission of providing high-quality, value-added products to their customers
