    VANCOUVER, BC, May 12, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Named one of Canada's 50 Best Managed Companies, The Bodtker Group of Companies selected Sage ERP X3 from The Answer Company to streamline and simplify its business processes. The Answer Company, a leading provider of business management software solutions, successfully implemented Sage ERP X3 for the growing manufacturer.

Sage ERP X3 is a global Enterprise Resource Planning solution designed to meet the specific needs of growing mid-sized companies and subsidiaries of large groups, like The Bodtker Group of Companies. The company chose Sage ERP X3 because it met the specific needs of the business. The organization had maxed out its current systems and set out to find a new ERP solution. Dave Bisskey, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Project Manager for The Bodtker Group recalls, "It was time for a new, modern, scalable ERP solution and we picked Sage ERP X3."

Starting with Great Western Containers, a division of The Bodtker Group that manufactures, recycles and distributes industrial containers, The Answer Company will continue to roll out Sage ERP X3 to other companies within the group of companies. The Bodtker Group has led and shaped the industrial container and consumer packaging-related products market in Canada. It has seen tremendous growth in recent years, both organically and through strategic acquisitions. With multiple companies and customers throughout North America, the company needed an ERP system able to handle multiple companies at various locations, able to handle both discrete manufacturing and process manufacturing, as well as services companies.

Sage ERP X3 did just that, delivering consolidated financial statements spanning the various corporate entities providing the management team with accurate, real-time financial data concerning each division and for the company as a whole. It also delivers a mixed mode manufacturing, encompassing both process and discrete manufacturing, allowing users to have access to very detailed cost information about our products, including tools to track the cost breakdown and price history of manufactured items.
