GFS have implemented the HG PDM system and the HG supplier portal to manage their product specification process. The software was configured to the specific requirements of GFS and the system implemented within a few weeks of the order being placed. Daniel Twigden, Hamilton Grant’s manager for the GFS project commented: “The specification was agreed with GFS over a period of 3 weeks. We then configured our Product Data Management system to this specification, installed it, set up the web portal for GFS’ vendors, and trained the users, all within the agreed timescale of 6 weeks.”Erica Waara, QA specialist at GFS and co-ordinator of the HG project said: “We liked the functionality and ease of use of the Hamilton Grant system and were impressed that it could so easily and quickly be configured to our specific requirements.”
