Putting the best of modern ERP and MES technology to work
Sikich uses state-of-the-art solutions from today’s leading software providers. We are proud of our thriving partnerships with these organizations. Sikich has received many awards and acclaim from our technology partners, analysts, and industry media.
Solutions we often deploy and configure for rolled goods manufacturers include:
- Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain Management

“The old system was kind of geared more toward what we do, and not as much as how we can use the data we are collecting to make us better. I think with the JUST suite that we have now, we have the opportunity to do that…to take us to the next level when it comes to manufacturing excellence.”– Laura Jackson, Director of Product Data Management, Phifer
