By GlobalData“Moving to the latest version of QAD allows us to take advantage of the latest freight management best practices, maintain flexibility and streamline our administration and organisational processes.”
Initially, Jiffy deployed QAD ERP in 1996 and many of its sites are still using older versions of the software.
Italian packaging manufacturer Airpack Spa acquired Jiffy in 2014, after which it updated the company’s business software and processes, including its ERP.
QAD Enterprise Edition provides standard functionality for manufacturing processes, reducing installation time.
