Bruges, Belgium – Cerm  www.cerm.be/labels,  an integrated business information management system provider for the Printing industry, announced that Bopack Labels - a division of the well known European Bopack group (www.bopack.com) - successfully implemented their MIS at a second production plant in France.

At the start of 2007, the management of Bopack decided to streamline the workflow of the 6 different facilities in the Bopack group through the use of cerm software. At the end of 2008, cerm was started up on an operational level in two French subsidiaries.

The software will also be deployed at the other European sites at a rate of 2 companies per year.
 
Mark Boehlen, CEO at Bopack Group states:
 
'The level of software and the consultants' expertise are extraordinary. The additions that proved necessary are incorporated into the standard package and made available to all of their customers. No more tailor-made software or proprietary developments, but standardization, regardless of the company size.'
  
On balance, this is quite logical as there are also standards for other administrative applications: word processing, accounting or salary administration. Cerm is looking to become the standard [benchmark?] in management software for narrow web label printers. This is why cooperation with other established players in this niche market is quite obvious: ranging from paper suppliers, machine manufacturers and prepress software to transporters. The customer's requirements are paramount in this : in this niche market, we can cut down on time, increase efficiency and optimize the tasks within the production sites .
 
Marc Boehlen continues : 'Cerm convinced us, both from a user-friendliness and performance point of view, that the software would manage to support the versatility of our manufacturing equipment.

Well then, the results are remarkable. Cerm is without doubt the right partner, and thanks to their knowledge and expertise in the field of label activities, they clearly give Bopack added value.'

"Cerm has invested a great deal of energy in further developing the system to be able to answer to the specific needs of the label industry. That's why we were very pleased to be chosen as Bopack Labels' strategic partner, which proves our specific expertise in this industry." said Peter Dhondt, consultant at Cerm.
