Benefits of Integrating Your ERP

As a manufacturer, an ERP system is the core software at the center of other software your business relies on to satisfy your unique business needs.

Whether you need a one-way, two-way or complex systems integration, our team specializes in increasing your efficiency by connecting software you use every day to your Baan ERP. Integrating your ERP to other sub systems eliminates errors, improves productivity and dramatically improves communication with one data source.

With an integrated ERP, data is updated in real-time so communication and knowledge sharing improves across your organization. Everyone can access the data they need when and where they need it. From inventory counts to key performance indicators (KPIs) and accounting data, workflows run more smoothly, processes are more efficient, duplicate entry and manual searches are eliminated, supply chains are operating at their peak. Sales reps have up-to-date access to all customer orders and inventory, along with the latest catalog and pricing, minimizing manufacturing and distribution costs while maximizing returns.

For older Baan installations that don’t use ION, Crossroads RMC has the expertise to build powerful adapters to allow your specific Baan version to communicate and exchange information with virtually any sub-system that can import/export data.

Extend Baan With ERP Enhancements

Crossroads RMC's team of consultants have expert knowledge of everything Baan. We have been enhancing Infor ERPs since 1984. We know how to make Baan work for your unique business needs.

Concerned how adding functionality may affect a future upgrade, or update? Our development methodologies focus on ease of upgrades with non-intrusive programming. What does that mean? All of our customizations are developed within a custom development package within the ERP that has parameter-controlled functionality to easily enable or disable the custom code. Our team does all the development without impacting your Baan standard code, so you don’t need to be concerned about customizations getting in the way of a future upgrade.

We specialize in shop floor and data collection, inventory management, bar code and supplier label generation, time and attendance, data analysis, freight management, external document integration, inventory reporting, customization without source code, PO variance reports, supplier/dealer portals, mobile, web and cloud accessibility, modernization, re-engineered and custom software development.

Crossroads RMC's apps developed for Baan 

Here is a list of software developed by Crossroads RMC based on best practices. We can enable any application to run in the cloud and on mobile devices, and if you don't see what you're looking for, we can re-engineer, modernize, and web-enable your existing software, or extend your ERP with ERP Enhancements to fit your unique business needs.

  "Crossroads RMC was instrumental in assisting us with upgrading our LN system from 10.2 to 10.6. We had a few security obstacles that we had to work around and a short time frame in which to complete the project, but Crossroad was quick to resolved the issues to get the new system online. They were integral part of our success."

  "The recent BPCS work completed by Crossroads RMC was the most satisfying consulting project I have been involved with over my 20 year career, some of that having been a consultant myself. Hugh Carty and Luis Diaz are both very competent and efficient technically but also, importantly, respectful and courteous to all employees with whom they worked. They are what a consultant should be. Should the need arise again we will certainly hope to obtain their services."

  "Crossroads RMC has a highly responsive Director of their IBM i Group in Frank Petrasio. During our implementation of Infor’s ERP LX, we needed additional assistance beyond what Infor could directly provide. Another consultant that I trusted and respected suggested that I contact Frank. The short version of the story is “I did and I’m pleased with the results”. I used resources recommended and assigned by Frank who were both 3rd party and direct employees in the areas of EDI, OLM, Finance, and general programming during our conversion and go-live. Post go-live, I was searching for assistance with the possibility of implementing the ECC (Engineering Change Control) module of LX. I again reached out to Frank for a resource and had the opportunity to work with a consultant who knew more about ECC than anybody else I could find from any company. Overall, I would say that my experience with Frank, his company and their resources could be summed up like this: “I found a Director who understands responsiveness, works diligently to provide quality resources, met some amazing consultants and got some amazing results.” If you have need of IBM i services, contact Crossroads RMC and speak with Frank Petrasio. I believe you’ll be as happy as I have been."

  "We sought out Crossroads RMC to be our main source of service on our aging ERP system that is becoming more difficult to maintain internally. Every task, request and email has been answered with accuracy and professionalism. We look forward to continuing our relationship with Crossroads RMC and consider them a valuable partner to our support team."

  "Our upgrade from BPCS 6.1 to LX 8.3 was greatly aided by Crossroads RMC. Their extensive knowledge of the financial system was a saving grace for us since we had a system that was setup over 15 years ago by people no longer in the company. The patience and professionalism of Hugh Carty made the transition much less complicated and frustrating. There is no doubt in my mind that it would have taken a much longer period and a substantially more painful path if it was not for Crossroads RMC bending over backwards to accommodate our processes and time constraints. Crossroads RMC was also able to help us with AS400 technical training, MRP production system design and pricing using Promotions and Deals. This large swath of knowledge was very helpful in management discussions. Thanks to the Crossroads RMC team and in particular Hugh Carty, Yupo was able to bring this implementation under budget and on time."

  "Regarding ION development work / interface to EAM. Tim Baker completed every task in a timely manner and was very easy to work with. I feel the value of Tim’s work is exceptional and I would recommend his services to any company that is looking for a competent project developer / coder.
