The textile markets seem to be vibrant again and our products are receiving a great acceptance from new and existing customers.

NOW has positioned itself as the leading functional and most technologically advanced product for the industry and our shop floor systems managing distributed remote production sites have also been a big success.

Our strong entry with unique functions for the garment industry in the manufacturing, customer service and also product Life Cycle management has proven very instrumental in closing new customers with these requirements.

In fact over 50% of our new customers are also manufacturing garments and in some cases only sourcing and selling garment products. As we see more and more of the industry is managed from one central sales and planning location managing multiple production sites ( many cases in different countries too), each running its shop floor controls and plant scheduling systems. NOW our main ERP system will run the process from demand management, thru planning to purchasing and invoicing, while CAMS and MQM will allow for on site scheduling the planned production orders and managing the shop floor transactions, stock and production from receiving thru production progress to shipping.

NOW also manages a very detailed and precise cost analysis system, for both pre costing with variable standards and actual costing of the proper production orders.

Datatex has signed up 7 new customers since the beginning of 2011, the smallest with 5 users and largest with over 500 users under a corporate license. We are also seeing increased interest from various loyal TIM customers who are beginning to look at options of migrating to NOW.

This has been a very slow process as most of our TIM customers are satisfied with the results and feel the system has still years before needing a change, this is supported by our approach of servicing the product, enhancing its core modules and assuring that all shop floor modules and product life cycle products are also supported. Datatex still maintains a very strong global TIM support team.

A few of our loyal TIM customers have selected NOW when opening new plants, while the head office is still running TIM Others have selected to install TIM at new locations benefiting from the years of experience and assuring fast and painless implementation by in house team. In these cases where expansion is discussed our team can suggest the most effective path forward with our products. These solutions will vary case by case.
