In a move, described as ‘a strategic investment’ by the company’s Group Chief Operating Officer, Gerry Brooks, ANSA McAL is expected to benefit from improved and streamlined business processes.


“We have done an extensive business process review and with the implementation of Microsoft Dynamics AX we plan to implement industry best business processes, improve customer service and streamline our operations. We operate in eight economic sectors spread across the Western Hemisphere and we needed an ERP system that could provide corporate financials and operational and manufacturing functionality especially for our beverage and manufacturing sectors.
