Information Technology

YORK Label has made a significant investment in Information Technology to give our customers, employees, suppliers and 3rd party providers the ability to interact in the most efficient and productive way possible. Our goal is to use IT to ease the procurement and proofing process by being flexible in procedure. We want our customers to dictate how they do business with us, unlike our competitors who require business be conducted in one manner.

Enterprise Resource Planning

At the heart of YORK's IT infrastructure is a leading Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. YORK is clearly unique, as it is the only major prime label company to successfully implement a state-of-the-art ERP system that integrates account management, order management, manufacturing/planning, procurement, logistics and finance onto one platform.

As a result of our ERP implementation, YORK is able to successfully manage the supply chain processes in real-time by first defining customer needs. We then efficiently deliver on those needs based on defined customer requirements. Additionally, the ERP platform enables YORK to have visibility within the whole supply chain with its real-time integration and planning. Whether the product is produced or procured, stored or shipped directly, vendor-managed or YORK-managed, or created online or off-line, YORK can effectively manage each order from beginning to end.

YORK is developing iB2B solutions to integrate with 3rd party ERP systems such as SAP®, JD Edwards®, Oracle®, Peoplesoft® or Baan® as well as 3rd party e-procurement systems such as Ariba®, Perfect Commerce® or MySAP®. As a result, we are able to receive and process purchase orders via cXML, EDI, fax or email. We currently receive purchase orders in EDI format.
