Effective Monday, November 3, 2014, Technicote and our Sil Tech and Westfield sales divisions will be implementing a new ERP business software system throughout all departments in the company.

Noticeable Changes:
The software improvements will result in changes in the format of some documents you receive from Technicote such as invoices, order acknowledgments, certificates of analysis, and certificates of compliance and shipping documents. These documents will still contain all of the essential product information provided in the past, just rearranged within the document. A list of the key changes is shown in the following table. To view a representative sample of these forms, please click on the corresponding Adobe .pdf file.
Non-Shipment Period:
To insure a smooth transition to the new ERP system, Technicote will initiate a non-shipment period from Saturday, November 1 through Tuesday November 4, 2014 to allow for data base changeover.
