Throughout our history providing Indirect Materials Management services, Ideal Setech has generated immediate, documented cost and process savings for some of the most respected companies across the globe. While our highly customizable services represent the key operations we perform for our clients, our innovative solutions are the unique approaches we use to provide them.
Ideal Setech developed the MRO Velocity Hub to allow all Order to Cash transactions to be performed in the client ERP system, preserving the value of the inter-connectedness of various ERP modules and CMMS modules such as Maximo; while analysis, CI management, and remote governess are performed in the MRO Velocity Hub. This helps to assure maximum value realized from the client systems investment, while providing highly specific indirect materials management metrics and process improvement through the deployment of the Velocity Hub. Use of the MRO Velocity Hub helps to close Indirect Material operational gaps and manage the site operations in the most effective manner to reduce total cost of ownership for our customers, with the following operational benefits:

- THE IDEAL SETECH MRO VELOCITY TOOLSET
With 25 years of indirect material management experience, Ideal Setech concluded that there are two types of client organizations:
1) One who has not made a recent significant investment in ERP technology thus needs a complete ERP transaction processing engine along with a Business Intelligence tool – MRO Velocity ERP Platform
2) The second client organization type has made a recent significant investment in state of the art ERP technology but has not developed the indirect material expertise to correctly deploy their investment and thus needs the MRO Velocity Hub to optimize their indirect material processes.
Within both scenarios, Ideal Setech has determined the IMM best practices and key differentiators that enable optimal value to be realized within the IMM business processes:• Best in Class Search and User Interface
• Commodity Management
• Repair Management
• Electronic Catalog Management
• Warranty Management
• Customizable Dashboards

Through the guidance of our highly experienced support staff working directly with our customers, the MRO Velocity Toolset has been constantly enhanced over two decades to meet the evolving operational and accounting needs of our customers, specifically focused toward Indirect Material Management.
In 2010, Ideal Setech developed a global Data Warehousing system to support customers operating on multiple and often disconnected ERP or maintenance management systems of a customer. This allows a customer that has single or multiple different ERP systems across its plants to be able to easily see enterprise-wide data and reporting in a single web-based tool, the MRO Velocity Hub. - MRO VELOCITY ERP PLATFORM
