Schedule Board for Utility Management System (UMS)

JOMAR tailored the Visual Schedule Board to provide real-time scheduling for Work Force and Outage Management, Engineering projects and Field Services.

2007

Implementation of web-based ERP and Enterprise Software

JOMAR implemented a range of major ERP modules of our web-based and ‘server-side’ Enterprise Software application suite in single manufacturing plants and/or vertically integrated plants with distribution centers in the U.S.A., Canada, Europe and Central America.

Supply Chain Management (3), Product Data Management (3), Customer Services, Invoicing/Shipping (4), Inventory by quality at multi-levels of the end-product by Quality for SKU, Lot and Roll Goods with multiple units of measure including roll cutting/slitting, dyeing, coating, laminating and finishing (5), Purchasing Management (3), Warehouse Management (3), Visual Schedule Board (8), QC and Lab/Product/Machine Specifications (2), R.F. Barcoding and Data Collection (4), Costing for products and processes (5), Manufacturing Execution Systems (3), General Ledger (5), Accounts Receivable (5), Accounts Payable (5) and Bank Services (5).

ERP and Enterprise Enhancements

Our software development team provided additional industry-specific ERP and Enterprise Software enhancements for our customers’ diverse products and processes.

JOMAR also expanded the ERP and Enterprise Software infrastructure to allow for greater flexibility in the application of new ERP and Enterprise Software functions for multi-platform technology.

The web-based software infrastructure will also allow for the roll-out of JOMAR’s future application software with seamless integration of third party vendor software.

2005 – 2006

JOMAR continued to install ERP enhancements for its web-based Enterprise Software to support our new customers' operations in the U.S.A., Canada, Europe, Central America and their business operations in China. JOMAR installed and initiated project work in 42 Manufacturing plants and 25 Warehouse Distribution Centers for our integrated ERP and Enterprise Software:

Full Service Supply Chain Management (9), ERP (14), Customer Services (11), Inventory Control at the SKU, Lot and Piece level (15), Manufacturing Execution Systems (10), PDM Data Base (10); Financials – General Ledger (12), Accounts Receivable (12), Accounts Payable (12), Multi-company Financial Consolidation at a selected currency (3) and Costing (15); R.F. – Barcoding with Data Collection (13 – some have Touch-screen technology) and the Schedule Board (16). The Backlog for 30% of these installations was scheduled for 2007.

JOMAR's JAVA and XML/XSL platform independent software component technology provided our customers with a choice of platforms to reduce their IT ownership cost. This gave JOMAR a competitive edge over other software vendors who locked-in their customers on a single platform and its pricing structure. It also made it difficult for JOMAR’s competitors who were gradually upgrading their software and therefore could not make a complete switch to another platform.

Our multiplatform software installations are as follows:
Microsoft Windows and SQL database (45%)
• Linux/Unix/AIX with ORACLE or DB2 (35%)
• IBM – iSeries and DB2 (20% - includes iSeries upgrades)

2001 – 2004

JOMAR’s owners continued their strategy of investing in the development of software enhancements and comprehensive Financial Software modules in 2001-2002 for our new and existing customers as they diversified their products and business processes to meet the challenge in the competitive global market.

The Canadian and U.S. professional staff of JOMAR installed new ERP releases for the web-based Enterprise and Financial Software applications to support our new and existing customers’ industry-specific and diverse business processes in customer services and manufacturing or warehouse/ distribution sites.

A new JOMAR customer base emerged that met the rising demand of engineered performance materials for the military and for fire or chemical protective fabric. Part of our traditional customer base diminished due to the off-shore pricing pressure on conventional consumer products in a rapidly changing global market.

Access to the Internet and our multi-platform server facility provided for global sales demonstrations of our web-based ERP and Enterprise Software application suite, Conference Room Pilot sessions during software project implementation, and flexible training schedules to reduce travel time and the travel cost for our customers’ staff in different business or plant locations.
