When you are responsible for manufacturing and distributing over 10,000 different products, real-time visibility is critical to running an efficient and agile business. Haviland Enterprises, Inc. relies on the Chempax enterprise resource planning solution from Datacor, Inc. to do just that. Based on the Progress OpenEdge application development platform, the Chempax ERP system was developed specifically for process manufacturers and chemical distributors.
Haviland serves the needs of companies worldwide, including those in the U.S., Canada, Mexico and Brazil. What started as a small research and testing lab in 1934 has grown to become one of the largest privately held chemical distribution companies in the U.S. Today, Haviland consists of two separate divisions: Haviland Products Co. serves the industrial market with custom formulation, specialty blending, packaging and distribution of a wide variety of chemical products; and Haviland Consumer Products formulates, blends, packages, and distributes more than 85 different swimming pool products for more than 75 different private label customers, serving some of the largest mass marketers of private label products.
