Greycon Provides APRIL Group with New Customer Service Planning Software

Greycon (London, U.K.) was recently appointed by the APRIL Group, one of the largest, most technologically advanced and efficient makers of pulp and paper products in the world, to further optimize its sales and operations planning by integrating Greycon sales and operations solution "opt-Studio" with APRIL’s Enterprise Resource Planning and Manufacturing Execution Systems. Greycon worked together with the APRIL Group and Accenture to deliver this solution.

"To continue to meet customer demand and deliver high levels of customer service, we have integrated opt-Studio with our existing solutions." said APRIL President Praveen Singhavi

"opt-Studio has improved end-to-end visibility of our sales orders, while being able to better optimize paper production (block planning) and finishing area scheduling."

"APRIL Group is one of the most efficient pulp and paper mills in the world. The project was divided in three phased roll-outs to enable quick deployment of capabilities and took 14 months to complete." said Greycon Senior Consultant Vassilis Gkamouras.

"The roll-out required expertise in global project management, change management, supply chain enablement, and systems integration. The project was delivered on-time, in-full, and within budget due to excellent team work between the partners involved."
