Salesforce.com, a provider of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS (News - Alert)) and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), announced that Vetrazzo LLC is using custom Force.com applications to run its business.

 

Vetrazzo used Force.com to build custom solutions for order management, inventory management, production planning and scheduling, raw materials management, shipping and logistics, document management, and warranty management.

 

In addition, Vetrazzo used Visualforce user interface technology to create an interface designed for staff in production and inventory management. It designed and deployed enterprise resource planning (ERP) using the Force platform.

 

Vetrazoo confirms that Force.com applications are supporting its business module as it has single, central source for all critical business data, which provides access to the information needed to make strategic business decisions.

 

James Sheppard, president at Vetrazzo, said in a statement, “We are growing rapidly and were looking for ways to improve our operational efficiency. We knew we needed enterprise resource planning capabilities.”

 

“We evaluated a variety of traditional client/server offerings, but found them to be inflexible and require a significant financial investment for software and maintenance. When we looked at Force.com, the choice was clear. With Force.com we realized we could easily build a solution exactly to our specifications, more quickly, and at a lower cost. Just as importantly, we knew we could modify it to grow with us without the burden of a team of costly consultants,” he continued.

 

The company plans to build additional functionality for purchasing and equipment maintenance management, as well as to roll out a comprehensive metrics dashboard that will provide a constant pulse on all aspects of the organization.
