Datatex celebrates the 30th license installation

Datatex marketing team will focus on NOW – Network Oriented World implementations and will celebrate the 30th license installation of its ERP software. The success of NOW was proven by license sales in the last  six months, as NOW was chosen as ERP for planning, production, logistics and cost control by large and medium textile industry leaders.

Among them Arvind and BRFL (Bombay Rayon Fashions Limited) in India, both interfacing SAP finance applications, ADO and USA Cotton in United States, Evershinetex in Indonesia, Olmetto and Star in Italy are notable customers.

The customers were specifically convinced by the NOW open platform, its web driven features its integration with Business Intelligence tools, the scheduling module and the shop floor applications. Moreover the two fundamentals of Datatex directions, reliability and functionality for the textile and apparel industry, are supported for future sustainability by the use of the latest standard web-based technologies.  

This is the first meeting of the Datatex marketing team after the signature of the strategic collaboration with ICM, a SAP Service Partner, and after the Datatex capital increase from 150,000 Swiss Francs to 4,320,000 Swiss Francs. This is the result of a capital increase of the current shareholders with the addition of funds received through an acquisition of 22% of the Datatex shares by ICM ITALIA S.p.A.

Presenting the new Datatex structure and the NOW results Ronen Hagin, Datatex Vice president of Marketing and Sales commented: “The state of the art NOW solution and the increasing demand for SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) specialized solutions have driven Datatex to fund a growth plan of the R&D and the customer support areas. Moreover, the entry of ICM in the Datatex group allows a better integration of NOW with the SAP platform, improving our business opportunities in large textile corporations. This also means new opportunities for the Datatex team members in this challenging new technology scenario.”
