Lantek Launches Business Management Division in UK
Appoints Iain Walsh as UK Business Manager
 VITORIA-GASTEIZ,
Spain, Nov 24, 2008 - A surge in demand for ERP solutions in the sheet metal
industry has led Lantek to create a dedicated team for its Lantek Expert III
ERP software in Spain. It has now replicated the business model in its UK
subsidiary, and is pleased to announce that Iain Walsh has been appointed as
the UK Commercial Manager for its new Business Management Solutions
Division.
 Lantek,
a worldwide market leader in CAD/CAM systems for the sheet metal sector,
used its expertise to develop the Lantek Expert III ERP system. Its
motivation was to provide sheet metal companies with a business management
system tailored to their specific needs which would provide superior
performance when compared to a generic ERP package. The software provides
tools for creating highly accurate quotations, managing purchasing and stock
levels, monitoring and controlling manufacturing processes, and providing
management reports on key performance indicators. Fully integrated into
Lantek’s Expert II CAD/CAM system and with links to other office based
software packages, Expert III will enable full traceability and will help
users to comply with their customer’s delivery schedule requirements.
Additionally, it will ensure profitability on each job in a system which is
easy to use and requires little customization.
The performance of Expert III has been further enhanced with the release
of Version 28. The software includes a host of new features, including
capabilities for the management of subcontracted items and an improved
quotation tool based on .NET technology.
To support the new Division, Lantek will be providing a dedicated service
team within the UK to ensure that customers get the maximum return on their
investment. In Spain, there is already a team of 64 professionals
specializing in Expert III. Zuriňe Sáenz, Director of ERP Product Solutions
said, “As with all of Lantek’s products, Expert III employs the very latest
technology and architecture, and is designed to meet the specific needs of
our sheet metal users in a competitive global environment. The result is an
implementation which will generate real improvements in productivity and
quality while making savings in both cost and time and produce a
significantly better return on investment and a lower total cost of
ownership than a generic ERP system.” Iain Walsh is very enthusiastic about
the opportunities within the UK. “We have had tremendous success with our
CAD/CAM software, Lantek Expert II, but our customers are now looking for
integrated solutions, dedicated to the fabrication industry, which will help
them to improve the efficiency of their business processes. Lantek’s in
depth knowledge and years of experience in this sector has enabled it to
tailor Expert III to meet these demands in a system which is both easy to
use and implement. In today’s economic climate, improvements in
administration, reporting and manufacturing management can lead to a
significant competitive edge.”
