Traditionally Installed v. On-demand

Will competitive bidding, increased raw-material prices, foreign competition, and product differentiation pressures go away? Not likely. Therefore it will be increasingly difficult for converters of all sizes to compete without investing in equipment and technologies to help minimize costs and capitalize on new business opportunities.

We have found that growing to mid-sized converters find it difficult to cost justify newer, better functioning software systems due to license fees and implementation costs. Instead of spending between $250,000 and $500,000 for a new, installed IT solution, they upgrade or purchase new capital equipment, such as a new press or extruding line, that can generate additional revenue.

But what if you could do both?

intraFLEX™ provides converters industry-specific features and functionality at an extremely affordable cost—without the need to commit large amounts of capital and internal resources for installing and maintaining the IT system. intraFLEX is software-on-demand, which means there is no software or hardware to purchase or maintain, or even upgrade. For many converters, this could equate to savings of between 45%-65% compared to similar, traditionally installed systems for the Converting industry.
