Hendrix Wire and Cable Powers Up with AXIOM®

Hendrix Wire and Cable, Inc. is now using the AXIOM® Enterprise Resource Management System from AXIS Computer Systems to support the company’s sales, production and financial management operations. Hendrix has implemented the current version of AXIOM/mx Open on an IBM UNIX server to replace their previous custom-developed system operating on an AS/400.

In a letter to AXIS President, Ed Verock following the cut-over to AXIOM, Hendrix Wire and Cable President, Thomas F. Brennan stated: “I want to personally thank AXIS for the outstanding support your organization provided Hendrix as we brought AXIOM on line. As we went through the process, it was clear the folks on your end were as committed as we were. …Please express my sincere gratitude to everyone at AXIS that played a role in helping make our transition a successful one.”

Hendrix selected AXIOM after evaluating a number of leading ERP packages. Clay Schmick, Hendrix IT Director stated: “After reviewing the market, we could see that AXIOM was the leading ERP solution for the wire and cable industry. Of all the packages we looked at, AXIOM was by far the best fit for our manufacturing and business processes; and the fact that so many other wire and cable manufacturers were already using AXIOM made the decision that much easier. Working with AXIS as the beta site for the new release had its challenges, but the result is that we now have an excellent platform for improving our operational and business performance and for delivering more value to our customers.”
