New orders are created
Material arrives
Engineering changes are made
Equipment breaks down
Employees are absent from work
Production is completed

What we can do for you

At Custom Information Services (CIS), we understand that each business has unique requirements and how to use software technology to meet these challenges. For more information contact Nancy Phillippi at 817-640-0016 x109 or email NPhillippi@customis.com.

I have been extremely pleased with CIS from the very beginning of our ERP project. CIS’s staff is very knowledgeable and contentious of our needs. They were unlike many companies that are just looking to sell you a product and walk away. CIS took the time to understand our business needs and worked with us to find a solution. They worked with us from the design stage through post installation configurations. Microsoft’s GP product seemed to be a good fit for our company. I look forward to a long working relationship with CIS. - IT Directory, Large Entertainment Venue
