• SSG ProfitModel^TM

Only SSG knows how to apply these complex modeling principles to the mid-market to get results.  Let us prove the value via a no-cost proof of concept.  We can typically generate huge incremental profitability improvement within 90 days. Too good to be true? Let us perform the service on a contingency basis. No improvement - no cost to you.

• Software Selection

SSG personnel have extensive experience in selecting software for manufacturers of all sizes.  We have selected over 50 systems for clients in the last fourteen years. Our methodology can save you millions. Typically we recover more than four times the cost of our selection services during the selection and negotiation. 

 

If your existing ERP system is outdated and not delivering the results you need to run your business, we can assess your business model and select new software that will work for you - objectively.

• Information Strategy

   

  Many companies miss out on the benefits of aligning a company's technology goals with the business.  Having a plan in place, even if it is tweaked regularly, ensures cleaner integrations, faster implementations and rapid business results.  Developing and implementing an Information Strategy has tremendous payback.

  Our information strategy template gives you a huge jumpstart on this important process, cutting development time in half.
   

• Wireless/Data Collection Solutions

The advent of affordable wireless solutions poses both and opportunity and a dilemma for the organization.  Where does wireless make sense? How do we look beyond the hype to determine what truly works for us? SSG knows how to guide customers down the wireless path, and can provide proven solutions that increase worker productivity.

If your factory needs data collection, we have done it many times over. Full wireless data collection is now affordable to ensure that your company receives accurate, timely data for decision support in all areas of the business.

• Enterprise Systems/Workflow Automation

The operational core of any manufacturing business requires a fully integrated manufacturing and accounting system.  If you are not getting the information that you need to run your business in a timely manner, or the support from your VAR that you need, most likely you have a serious ERP problem.  We have helped dozens of companies overcome the inherent limitations of these systems and their reseller networks through successful objective consultations.

The advent of affordable workflow solutions can finally deliver what ERP vendors had promised at first: interdepartmental, event-driven action items (proactive management by exception).  We have over fourteen years of ERP experience in many of the major packages available today.  We can assist you in training, implementation, integration, and customization.

• Operational Improvement - Business Process Management

Much inefficiency still exists in the day-to-day operations of most companies.  Now is the time to seize the opportunity to fix operational problems and be ready for continued growth.  We commonly see major improvements possible in sales, engineering, inventory control, purchasing and field/customer service.  By reducing cycle times, and possibly even headcount in these areas, companies can gain lost time, lower their inventories, and reduce operating costs.  SSG can assist you in determining the proper course of action to get your operations on track.

By assisting you to identify your key business metrics that drive operational and strategic decisions, we can set up a manual or automated method to monitor business performance and processes.  This will provide your organization with the tools required to meet your business objectives.

• Project Crisis Resolution

Many technology or operational projects run aground for resource, political or technological reasons.  We have rescued many projects already under way, and managed them to a successful completion.  We know how personalities, resources, technology and politics can be aligned appropriately to lead a successful project.  Is your project not meeting your expectations or delivering the required results?  Let us show you how to make your project, and you, a success via Project Management Institute based training.

• Systems Integration

Most companies have a difficult time summarizing management level information across disparate systems separated by either platform of geography.  We have heavy experience integrating multiple platforms and packages, and can develop customized, seamless integration that cuts across these limitations to deliver the information you need to run your business effectively.

• E-Commerce/Intranet/Collaboration Systems

E-commerce can expand your current markets, or simply solidify the ones you have now. By collaborating more effectively with your customers and suppliers, your organization can realize real cost and cycle time reductions, but only if the appropriate business processes are taken into account as well. SSG provides this unique focus and can rapidly deliver cost-effective solutions that impact your bottom line.  Whether you need a packaged or custom solution, SSG can help.

Our background is manufacturing, distribution and service. Combined with our exceptional technical expertise, the SSG team has the unique ability to integrate the functional understanding of manufacturing with the creative applications of new technologies to solve pressing business issues.
