Alma Manu chose MWM Printing Business Solution as its business system
MWM has signed an agreement with Finnish media group Alma Media’s printing and distribution company, Alma Manu, for the installation of the Microsoft Dynamics AX business system. The MWM Calculation, MWM Production Planning, MWM Copy Track and MWM Inventory Management system modules are also included in this. As options, MWM Prepress, MWM Budget and MWM Dispatch can also be purchased.
By implementing Microsoft Dynamics AX, Alma Manu is ensuring a user-friendly, easy-to-manage and well integrated business support system that helps keep costs down throughout the entire production process. System benefits include advanced costing and net value calculations, reduced paper loss, less administration and improved machine utilization with a better flow in distribution.
“We have observed that system support for planning and monitoring have become increasingly important as stiffer competition and tighter margins have become part of the everyday environment. We see it as very positive that the modules are tailored to the needs of the newspaper printing and graphics industries,” commented Helvi Liukkaala, MD of Alma Manu.
“We at MWM are very proud to have Alma and Sanoma on our customer list. They are the two largest media enterprises in Finland. Alma Manu can now focus on profitability through more efficient production with lower costs,” stated Tony Svensson, MD of MWM Group.
