“We'd been using a Sage product and we needed to enhance our manufacturing capabilities and it was very, very difficult to do through Sage because what we make are one off items and everything is customized and it was really hard to do in an off the shelf product. So we started looking for ERP systems, and that's when we came across Priority, which allowed us to bring that customization to the various different processes so that we could actually put stuff into production on a bespoke level.”
