Emirates Metallic Industries Company Limited (EMIC), a manufacturer of metal packaging solutions in the UAE, has selected its global enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution, Epicor ERP. Epicor ERP will allow EMIC to increase visibility, transparency and information exchange across the organization, automate manufacturing processes, improve inventory control and minimize human error in reporting.

The functionality offered in Epicor ERP will also enable the organization to meet the requirements of the international quality management standard, ISO 9001:2015, and the soon to be introduced VAT regulations in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) member states. With Epicor ERP serving as the backbone of the business, EMIC now also has the confidence to update its ISO certification from ISO 9001:2008 to ISO 9001:2015.
