Radio Frequency Turns to glovia.com to Automate Costing Processes and Provide Enhanced Visibility for Budget Analysis.

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- Additional Functionality to Improve Project Cost Tracking, Visibility, and Evaluation, Enhance Planning and Management Capabilities, and Automate Report Processes

Glovia International, a subsidiary of Fujitsu and a leading provider of extended ERP solutions for engineer-to-order and high volume manufacturers, announced today that Radio Frequency Company (RFC) has migrated to the current version of glovia.com to take advantage of project accounting and project resource planning functionality. With the additional functionality RFC is able to improve project cost tracking visibility and evaluation as well as enhance their ability to plan and manage complex projects.

RFC, a Glovia customer since 1999, is a total-system design and manufacturing company producing innovative and reliable radio frequency heating and drying equipment. Now live on the current version of glovia.com, RFC is able to better manage bids and estimates as well as often difficult, ongoing changes to engineering, resources, and services for RFC's large pieces of Engineered-to-Order (ETO) equipment that have complex product lifecycles and long lead times typically lasting six or seven months. The flexible solutions framework in glovia.com immediately reacts to project changes to rebalance supplies, resources, and demands to help keep projects on time and costs under control.

glovia.com Project Accounting enables RFC to capture all project costs and supplies all the information necessary to evaluate project status, avoid runaway costs, and ensure a profitable revenue stream. glovia.com also provides project-to-date totals enabling RFC to calculate and compare their estimates and budget projections with actual incurred costs and revenue. RFC now has the ability to stay on top of project profitability with instant access to timely and detailed cost and revenue information throughout the project lifecycle-from RFC's suppliers through the manufacturing process, out to customers, and into post sale service and support.

"Previously, manual costing reports would take project managers a couple of days to go through all the information and compile the report, should management ask them to come up with a final cost of a job," states Lisa Mitchell, purchasing manager for RFC. "With glovia.com Project Accounting, project managers can access costing information virtually instantaneously by looking at an up-to-date screen shot and this can be done not only at the end of a project but at any point throughout the project. So if we are running over budget, not just on the project total, but on any portion of the project we now have the visibility to know not only that we are running into problems, but where and what those problems are so we can best address them. At the end of the project it's already too late to fix the problem so being able to monitor the budget throughout the project is very important to be able to manage the project as effectively as possible."

glovia.com enables RFC to manage their complex projects profitably by effectively coordinating resources and activities. The end-to-end solution manages everything from defining the project scope and developing realistic estimates and quotes to optimizing the use of resources and managing costs. Throughout the project lifecycle RFC can track all expenses and have total, enterprise-wide, real-time visibility into project status.

"RFC is a prime example of how glovia.com effectively supports ETO/MTO manufacturing environments," states Yuji Nakasu, president and CEO of Glovia International. "The flexible design of glovia.com enables RFC to gain enterprise-wide visibility to analyze information at any time throughout the product lifecycle in order to streamline operations and realize significant operational benefits including increased on-time and on-budget projects."
