Russell Hardware Co., a retailer with locations in Bloomfield Hills, Troy and Petoskey, has successfully completed an installation of SX.enterprise, distribution software developed by Infor Global Solutions and marketed, implemented and supported by Central Data Systems of Farmington HIlls.

Russell Hardware opened its doors in 1910 and since 1949 has serviced and sold decorative and builder's hardware. In the mid-1990s, Russell expanded its offerings to include decorative plumbing, making it a one-stop showroom for home and commercial building and renovation.

"The SX.enterprise distribution software will provide us the controls we need to grow our business and continue to serve and enhance our customers' experience," said Alan Brown, general manager of Russell Hardware. "The entire Russell Hardware team prides itself in working closely with all of our customers by providing them highest level of customer service and quality products. When we decided to replace our existing distribution software we knew we couldn't compromise the service our customers have come to expect from our organization. We went through an extensive search for new software and evaluated the top vendors in our industry. After a a long and structured process we selected SX.enterprise as our software and Central Data Systems as our partner."

SX.enterprise is being used by hundreds of distributors nationwide to enhance customer service, optimize inventory levels, increase productivity and improve profitability. Advanced in both design and function, yet remarkably easy-to-use, SX.enterprise delivers unprecedented quality and functionality.

With a flexible, modular-based design, SX.enterprise can be tailored to meet the specific needs of nearly any distributor's business. Robust functionality and innovative features are integrated in a powerful software system designed to evolve with ever-changing advances in technology.

SX.enterprise is the industry leading Enterprise Resource Planning system for supply chain companies that automates critical supply-chain business processes. SX.enterprise helps distributors uncover hidden profit and new growth opportunities in their business through effective management of their assets and resources.
