Overview

ISOFlex Packaging, a leading U.S. plastic film manufacturer with seven locations, specializes in producing specialty films for laminating, printing, coating, and converting markets. When Alpha Industries acquired ISOFlex, they needed a unified system to improve financial processing, reporting, and manufacturing efficiency.
ISOFlex’s legacy environment included a Syteline ERP system and multiple custom and third-party manufacturing applications that were difficult to manage and integrate. Alpha Industries partnered with KTL Solutions to migrate ISOFlex to Microsoft Dynamics GP and replace their fragmented systems with a custom, fully integrated manufacturing solution.

The Challenge

• Migrate from Syteline ERP to Microsoft Dynamics Great Plains to align with Alpha Industries’ systems.
• Replace multiple disparate custom and third-party manufacturing tools with a single, end-to-end solution.
• Ensure 24/7 operational support for a high-volume manufacturing schedule.
• Build a solution scalable to more than 40 additional Alpha Industries facilities.

KTL Solutions’ Approach
