Multigas integrates its business processes

Multigas Limited has consolidated its manufacturing plant and operations data by introducing a fully integrated IT solution to streamline its business processes.

Microsoft Dynamics GP together with the latest Cylinder Control System specifically developed by Megabyte Limited for Multigas offered the desired holistic solution that Multigas required.

Multigas is the reference point for the supply of industrial and medical gases in Malta, with its origins dating back to 1926. Today Multigas supplies liquid and gaseous oxygen and other medical gases to the island's major health institutions, while serving domiciliary patients from its site in Kirkop. Multigas produces, imports and distributes the widest range of industrial gases to major manufacturing concerns and thousands of individual clients.

Multigas approached Megabyte to propose a holistic solution that could streamline the business operation by providing integration between the operation and the manufacturing plant, define workflows that promoted efficiency, track customer buying patterns, proactively manage inventory, distribution and pricing within one system, control critical business information across the network, and produce timely intelligent reports for fast decision-making.

Megabyte offered a consolidated solution with Microsoft Dynamics GP - a comprehensive enterprise resource planning solution, Megabyte CCS - a bespoke System developed using Microsoft Visual Studio, and HP Hardware providing a robust platform to support the above applications.

"The reporting tools present in the system provide information that is vital in good decision making, planning and operating the business," stated Henry Attard, financial controller and IT systems manager at Multigas. "Microsoft Dynamics GP and Megabyte CCS blended seamlessly to assist the business in controlling and tracking a number of processes."

"Megabyte CCS bolts on to Microsoft Dynamics GP to guarantee accurate and timely information together with a complete history of each cylinder as it moves through the manufacturing cycle. The system is designed to be intuitive and practical by providing features that are available via both the desktop and mobile components of the solution", explained John Bonello from the Microsoft Enterprise Solutions Business Unit at Megabyte Ltd.
