Learned
OECC is a family run business who’s founder had a vision during his college days and made that dream a thriving business. They are in the business of product innovation, IT & systems management is not their main focus and did not want to be burned by it.
It was essential that their SAP Partner understands their forward thinking approach, that can quickly communicate to suppliers/manufactures was essential.
In Avaniko they found exactly that – a proactive approach using SAP’s various analytics, integration (Shopify) or MRP tools, which helped make decisions that have made OECC an innovative business that is always ahead of the market trends.
Client's words
"One of the Impressive things about Avaniko is the turnaround time, So the reports that took weeks upon weeks to get back, and it wasn't what we wanted, I would turn it over to Avaniko. Basically the next day we would get the report back that met all our needs. It was Amazing!"
