Greenwood Village, CO -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/04/2011 -- Streamline Systems LLC announced that The Greenbrier Companies, Inc., a leading supplier of transportation equipment and services to the railroad industry, has gone live on Microsoft Dynamics AX utilizing the implementation consulting team of Streamline Systems and the project management of Zethos Consulting. The Company builds new railroad freight cars in its three manufacturing facilities in the U.S. and Mexico and marine barges at its Portland, OR facility.
Greenbrier CAO, James Cruckshank commented, “Implementing Microsoft Dynamics AX for our railcar plants and in our marine barge facility was a strategic objective for us. We now have the tools in place to effectively manage our significant steel inventory and to better control our costs.”
“We carefully explored the Microsoft Channel to find the right implementation partner to support this project. We were looking for a partner with relevant industry experience in conjunction with solid AX experience. We found that partner in Streamline Systems. Their team of consultants brought ‘grey haired’ business expertise to enable us to implement our solution in a timely manner. Combined with the Project Management of Zethos Consulting, the team delivered the project on time and on budget. I am very proud of what our team accomplished,” noted Cruckshank Al Galinot, Senior Partner at Streamline Systems noted, “Greenbrier made a significant investment to improve their business operations. As a global manufacturer, their business model requires that they have tight controls to manage their costs while providing superior customer service. With their legacy ERP system, they were not able to operate optimally. Working with the Greenbrier team we were able to reshape and enhance their business processes to enable them to operate in the most effective manner. Together, we were successful.”
