FREMONT, California — February 2, 2015 —<\/em> EFI\u2122 (Nasdaq: EFII) today reported that JohnsByrne, a premium packaging converter and provider of high impact direct mail, is implementing EFI\u2019s Radius\u00ae packaging ERP software. The long-time EFI customer is a full-service specialty packaging converter. Implementation of EFI Radius software is the next logical step to support the company\u2019s culture of continuous improvement.<\/p>\n

Located in Niles, Illinois, with offices in Burbank, California, and an East Coast sales presence, JohnsByrne has 200 employees, including a team of structural engineers, and generates $80 million in annual revenues. The EFI MIS user is switching its business management software platform to EFI Radius to take advantage of Radius\u2019 packaging-specific features.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have been an EFI customer for a long time,\u201d said Corey Gustafson, the company\u2019s president. \u201cIt has been a good journey and we have always been early adopters. We wanted to move to a solution that was more dynamically integrated and aligned with the package manufacturing process. We are excited that EFI Radius is tailored to our structural packaging environment.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a quality- and service-minded producer of high-end packaging, direct mail and point-of-sale materials, JohnsByrne has always been a strong believer in advanced management systems that improve business processes. The cohesive, packaging-centric platform the company is adopting with EFI Radius will enhance its ability to access and analyze production data and financial metrics in real time.<\/p>\n

Accurate data \u2018each step of the way\u2019 in business operations<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cGreater electronic visibility into job costs means we can tie it all together and be better positioned to take out unnecessary steps and costs,\u201d said Gustafson. \u201cThat means less duplication of effort and the ability to continue our growth without adding excessive resources.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEFI\u2019s software technologies help us understand exactly what our costs are each step of the way,\u201d he added. \u201cOnce we implement Radius, we believe we will be able to build even greater efficiencies.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gustafson\u2019s team manages the business with a framework where, once a job is entered, data for that job follow the production process without the need for re-keying and cross-checking. The new Radius platform will extend the benefits the company currently receives from having an integrated workflow, making JohnsByrne personnel more productive in communicating key operational needs. \u201cWe will have more effective, fact-based meetings,\u201d said Gustafson, \u201cwhich is an often-overlooked benefit of an efficient business and production infrastructure.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cJohnsByrne is a dynamic company that is not satisfied with doing things the way they have always been done, which is apparent from its transition to EFI Radius,\u201d said David Taylor, general manager, Enterprise segment, EFI Productivity Software. \u201cOur Productivity Suite is unique in its ability to support customers as they develop and transform their businesses, which is what exactly we are doing now as we help JohnsByrne drive greater profitability in its premium packaging and high-impact direct mail business.\u201d<\/p>\n
