A cyclist’s review of manufacturing software, INDUSTRIOS – The impact on our world
On a recent cycle commute to work through Mississauga and Oakville, a bus shelter caught my eye, I recognized it as the work of Daytech Limited, an INDUSTRIOS customer that builds transit & bike shelters, entryway covers throughout North America.
On a recent cycle commute to work through Mississauga and Oakville, a bus shelter caught my eye. I recognized it as the work of Daytech Limited, an INDUSTRIOS customer that builds transit & bike shelters, entryway covers throughout North America. It got me thinking about the impact INDUSTRIOS manufacturing software, and by extension Sage 300 ERP, formerly Sage ERP Accpac, had on the world as I continued my journey to the office. This is what cycling does, it gives me time to ponder.
I began a mental run through of our customers, at least those I was able to remember, and watched the landscape unfold as I sought out other examples of INDUSTRIOS customers in my community. It wasn’t long before I passed a yard tidily enclosed by a black chain link fence the handiwork of Leone Fence, Inc. That same yard contained an in ground pool with a safety pool cover that could be the work of HPI, a local manufacturer of protective covers and another customer.To confirm that I would have had to knock on the door so I decided to simply acknowledge that one as a possibility. As I cycled on passed the local hockey arena where I’ve attended many a junior hockey game over the last 14 years, I remembered the ever faithful Zamboni clearing the ice between games, a product of our customer Frank Zamboni Co. Ltd. As I neared the office, a glimpse of the IMAX theatre playing the latest Disney creation was another reminder of our widespread and every day impact. Of course as I blast past Petsmart, where I’ve purchased 1000’s of pounds of dog food over the years, and where my 85lb dog goes trembling every 2 months for a shave, I’m reminded of our customer North American Pet Products Inc. and their myriad of pet products gracing the shelves, which I confirmed later online, don’t you just love the internet.
As I neared the office, I was reminded once again of our local impact as I passed Entripy, our supplie rof pens, shirts, shoe shine kits and other trade show paraphernalia, and of course Somerville Graphics, printer of all things INDUSTRIOS and our office neighbor. I arrived safely at the office.
Wow, I was amazed how INDUSTRIOS has quietly infiltrated the lives of those around me. It’s interesting that I’ve traveled these roads and passed these businesses for years on my daily journey to and from work but never realized the impact our business and product had on the world. As I sat down to my Timothy’s Coffee, love their decaf, and looked out my picture window, gracefully adorned with Sun Glow roller blinds, I was once again reminded about our impact on the world, and it looks mighty fine. Indeed, INDUSTRIOS and Sage 300 ERP, formerly Sage ERP Accpac, are both ingrained in the fabric of our lives and I have a bike route as a testament to that. Wonder what I’ll think about on another journey.
Cheers!
