Force 9 Expands Factory Monitoring Team

New Business Development Manager Joins ERP Consultants

Gloucester, 18 October 2010

Force 9 Business Solutions Ltd is pleased to announce the appointment of Gary Wilson to spearhead sales of Shoplogix Plantnode^TM, the highly successful Real Time Plant Monitoring (RTM) solution.

Force 9 MD Derek Sanderson said, “ERP systems rely on accurate plant data.  Collecting this data in real time direct from the shop floor provides a firm foundation for ERP, with its production planning, costing and sales management systems.  We chose Plantnode because it can be implemented in a matter of hours and I'm sure Gary will capitalise on this unique feature.”

Gary has 10 years experience in and around Manufacturing and Inventory Management, much of it in the Food and Beverage sector.  He is an experienced practitioner, well-versed in the arts of Lean Manufacturing, SMED and Continuous Improvement.  His enthusiasm shows through when he talks about Plantnode and the benefits it can bring to even a successful manufacturing plant.  In fact, they are probably successful because they have the courage to embrace a product like Plantnode.

Justin Mossman, Force 9 Sales and Marketing Director, said, “I'm really pleased that Gary has agreed to join our team.  He brings a wealth of experience in just the right areas -  and so much enthusiasm.”
