The company was formed in response to repeated requests to the founders for an effective, scalable, automated replenishment system. Manufacturers and their distribution partners in many different supply channels recognized that there was nothing effective in the market, and the cost of developing an in-house solution was prohibitive.</p> <p>Pan-Pro began product development in January of 1999, and had three beta clients by June of 1999. The first automated replenishment product was market-ready and operational in March of 2000, and has already created outstanding business results for Pan-Pro's clients.</p> <p>Pan-Pro is uniquely positioned and experienced to deliver world-class supply chain solutions at the lowest total cost of ownership.<br> </p>  <h1>Who We Are</h1> <h2>Highlights</h2> <ul> <li>Pan-Pro delivers supply chain performance for our clients and their channel partners </li> <li>Supply chain automation requires world-class reliability and availability</li> <li>Our commitment to quality is backed by our investments</li> </ul> <h2>Mission Statement</h2> <h3>Mission Statement</h3> <p>Pan-Pro's mission is to provide our clients with software, services, and support that delivers a lower cost of doing business and the best service to their channel partners and end users. We will continually improve our product to maintain our lead in the market.</p> <h3>Investing in Quality</h3> <p>Supply Chain Automation requires systems with world-class reliability and availability. Pan-Pro is committed to providing the highest quality software systems possible.</p> <p>Our commitment to quality is backed up by our investments.</p> <p>We invest in our employees, ensuring that they are properly trained for the technologies of today and tomorrow.</p> <p>We invest in the latest software management tools. Using them, our software factory carefully controls the development process and the resulting work products. Software source code, executables, documentation, and test cases are rigorously archived, with automated software controlling versioning, access, and the build process.</p> <p>We invest in automated testing tools. Each new release of the software is tested for both proper function of new features and for continued proper function of existing features. When a release is coded and programmers have completed their unit testing, the entire system enters a formal regression-testing period. The now frozen code is automatically executed against predefined test cases and measured against the expected results of those test cases. Exceptions are noted by the system, and any errors are corrected and full testing redone.</p> <p>Our investments in training, process control, and automation tools are reflected in the quality of the products we deliver for our clients.</p> <br> <p>Copyright 2001, Pan-Pro L.L.C.</p>  <h1>Who We Are</h1> <h2>Highlights</h2> <ul> <li>Successful supply chain management requires expertise in multiple disciplines</li> <li>Successful business to business replenishment requires manufacturing, channel and IT expertise</li> </ul> <h2>Personnel</h2> <p>One of the challenges of supply chain management is that success requires expertise in multiple disciplines.
