SCOTTSDALE, AZ (July 23, 2002)–CRC Information Systems, Inc. (CRC) is pleased to announce that St. Paul, Minnesota-based packaging company Trendex has signed a deal to implement THE System - the finest in business management software for the graphic arts industry. Trendex will implement a fully integrated system including THE System’s estimating and scheduling modules. “Previously we used Excel spreadsheets for estimating and scheduling and ended up entering the same data three different times,” remarked Trendex Vice President of Marketing, Tom Polacek. “The Screenprinting Estimating module eliminates re-entry of data, is very consistent, and collects accurate job data in real time. We’ll be able to analyze this information and produce actual vs. estimated reports, which will pinpoint inefficiencies and improve the overall profitability of jobs.” Trendex specializes in information packaging, such as ring binders, pocket folders, media kits and training manuals. They supply everything from complete project management through graphic design services to binding equipment and supplies.
