Message from our CEO

As CEO of Central States Industrial Equipment & Service Inc., I am committed to driving innovative and relevant processing solutions for the people who make our business possible: our customers and our employees. This commitment demands a robust enterprise system, and I am proud to announce that CSI is set to launch a truly remarkable new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system on October 1, 2018.

In November 2016 we began with business process mapping followed by evaluation, discovery, and selection of a new system. We have invested significant resources to finance, research, design, and test a powerful new system for sustaining business and customer service innovations far into the future.

We are excited about the transition and ask for your patience in working with our team during this change. Our team is well trained, and they are ready. With a new system, we expect our customers to experience a slow-down from our typical service. We expect that quoting, order entry, and history look-up will be slower than normal in the first few weeks.

Much testing and training has been performed, and we know that we can ship orders on day one. However, we ask for your patience as our muscle memory changes and our expertise grows in a new system.

Thank you for being a valued customer and your support during this implementation. As always, we look forward to serving you better, smarter, and faster.

Mark Cook, CEO
