Family business enters 21st century

Technology Group International started their work week with the announcement that Verndale Products has selected Enterprise 21 ERP software from the firm. In making the decision, the Verndale folks consulted with the staff of Plante & Moran Management Consulting.

Founded by LaVerne and Marlene Johnson in 1958 in Detroit, Michigan, Verndale manufactures roller processed whole milk powder for chocolate manufacturers across the United States. The decision to purchase an ERP system is reflective of a “a generational change in ownership” currently happening at the company. Verndale general manager Fred Kreger stated that key in the implementation was the need “to transition from a closely held system to a multiple participant system."

Founded in 1990 and headquartered in Toledo, Ohio, Technology Group International specializes in software systems for small- and mid-market manufacturing and distribution companies. TGI’s flagship is its integrated Enterprise Series software suite, which includes Enterprise Resources Planning, Manufacturing Resource Planning, Supply Chain Management , Warehouse Management System, Advanced Planning and Scheduling, Decision Support System, Business Intelligence, Manufacturing Execution System, and eCommerce.
