AXH air-coolers (AXH) combines more than 40 years of experience and leadership in the air-cooled heat exchanger industry. This fast-growing company went from zero to 275 employees in less than one year. "We started as a sales and engineering company, but in 2005 we started manufacturing our own products," said Jim Lynch, plant manager. "We built our first unit in 2005, now our plan for 2006 is over 2500 units." To cope with this explosive growth, AXH needed ERP software to support their engineer-to-order business. "We started with QuickBooks and spreadsheets, but soon realized that we needed an ERP system to give us control over the business," said Lynch who undertook the role of project manager. The initial phase of the implementation was completed in 60 days. "One of the advantages of being a small company is that we could get all of the users involved with the implementation, and this contributed to our success," said Lynch. AXH is looking forward to accurate costing and improved inventory management. "The real-time costing information Encompix provides will enable us to understand and control our costs," said Lynch. "As a growing company, it is essential that we can accommodate this increase in volume without adding more indirect staff. We believe that Encompix will help us achieve these objectives."
