Integration with ERP and/or Accounting Systems

BMG Seltec can interface with any financial/ERP system, from the very sophisticated and complex (e.g. PeopleSoft) to those targeted at smaller mid-market companies (e.g. Great Plains or Dexter + Chaney).

The BMG Seltec solution standardizes and productizes the integration between BMG Seltec and the ERP system. The intellectual property developed specifically to support standardized integration is owned by BMG Seltec and is made available by the Company to all construction material producers at product-like pricing (versus custom, one-off, development), dramatically lowering both cost and implementation risk.

Particularly in a major ERP implementation, the cost savings on consulting/customization fees alone will more than fully pay for the purchase of BMG Seltec's solution - while:

a) Yielding greater productivity improvement
b) Eliminating the cost of future integration and re-customization;
c) Offering ongoing support and feature enhancements.
