DyCast Specialties Corporation Converts to Odyssey ERP System

Bridgman, MI, April 10, 2014 - Current B&L Information Systems client, DyCast Specialties Corporation, has kicked-off conversion planning to B&L's Odyssey ERP system. Headed internally at DyCast Specialties by the two-person team of Randy Dunn and Ed Bolas, the conversion is planned to be complete in September of 2014.

DyCast offers complete engineering services, from design concept, prototyping, tooling, and production, through machining and metal finishing to complete assembly. The Starbuck, Minnesota company employs nearly 100 people and runs two shifts. DyCast will be moving the existing Excel-based production scheduling system to the paperless Odyssey system, integrated with Odyssey's Shop Floor Manager module. DyCast will maximize their ERP system usage by taking advantage of the full Odyssey suite - everything from purchasing through production and customer orders to financials.

Implementation planning and training will be spearheaded on B&L's side by DJ Medlin, Project Consultant. Medlin has previously served as B&L's in-house trainer. Prior to joining B&L in 2007, she had held IT support positions with both a die cast company and a foundry.
