We want to thank CMS Solutions, LLC, (Tim, Kim, and Sean) for helping our Company maneuver through the implementation of Epicor ERP. We were fortunate to find you! Your expertise, patience and communication skills were an asset to our implementation team
and greatly assisted us in achieving our goal of going live on the first of the new year. Your knowledge and ability to keep our team on track was crucial to having a successful 'go live' experience. CMS listened and was able to fully understand our processes to ensure that we achieved the desired results. The CMS team went the extra mile. We will continue to call on Tim, Kim, and Sean in the future.
Sincerely,
J&M Industries Epicor Implementation Team

I want to thank you for your Team’s efforts and guidance in navigating us through our upgrade to Epicor 10. When we made the decision to upgrade, I had real concerns because of our small size, my team being somewhat resistance to change and the common perception that no upgrade can every go smoothly that this fall would be one of pain and struggle. Instead we are now 30 days after go live and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results. When we went live, the issues we experienced were minimal and never disrupted the business. As my team works in the upgraded environment, they are using the new tools and capabilities to streamline their work processes and become more effective and efficient. Instead of listening to complaints about our ERP system I am now fielding request to add functionality so that the team can fully realize the system potential.
I cannot express how grateful I am to your CMS team. We truly considered you a partner in our success.

I've worked with Tim for quite some time now, and I must say that he is by far one the most talented, respectful/respected, personable and honest consultants within the Epicor and manufacturing world. He's truly an expert when it comes to the implementation process and ensures client needs/projects are done within budget and within the expected timeline. Tim has worked with several of my clients, some who were new to Epicor ERP completely, and he always approached them with patience, and provided them with options and solutions that will best fit their business model. Tim delivers results, and I've had nothing but positive feedback from every client that we've worked with together. Tim is a true professional, and I always find great excitement in presenting him to clients who need his expertise!

I met Tim in August 2016 to have him come onsite and evaluate the business’ current 9.05 environment. His in-depth knowledge of and experience within the software was invaluable to guiding the business to expanding our knowledge and utilization of the system. In six weeks the business saw significant improvement in how we interact with Epicor. Tim has an ability to work with all levels of an organization to understand each individual’s needs and to provide the right solution. In December 2016, Tim was retained to develop and execute a plan to upgrade to Epicor 10 including a new multi-plant setup. Tim’s leadership, communication style, and get-it-done approach has led to many successes, including a successful upgrade. It was a pleasure to work with Tim and hope our paths can cross again in the future.

David Cranshaw Henry
Operations Manager at Encompass Solutions Inc
Tim lead multiple successful ERP implementations while in the Senior Epicor Consultant role, including taking accounts live on the latest version of Epicor ERP – currently version 10.0.700.4.
Implementations of ERP, particularly in the manufacturing and distribution area, require an extremely high level of knowledge – both broad industry knowledge, and deep application knowledge, to assist with things like advanced scheduling, advanced quality, multi-company and multi-site rollout. Tim was prepared for this both through his manufacturing background, and through extensive certification (to level 2 in manufacturing and distribution) and achieved this level of certification while still servicing his accounts. He’s also well versed in highly regulated industries.
Tim is highly regarded as an instructor – he can hold a room, keep attention, and do so with people from shop floor to C level participants.
Lastly, and worth mentioning, is that Tim is very self sufficient as a consultant, and is able to handle tasks outside what would normally be handled by a field consultant. For example - he can tackle tasks typically handled by a technical services team – writing queries, adjusting reports, loading data and other technical tasks.

I had the pleasure of working with Tim on an ERP implementation at my plant location. His leadership and knowledge were invaluable in guiding our ERP execution team through the rigorous and often challenging work of conversion. Tim's project management skills are on par with the best I've seen, and his ability to share his experiences and expertise to enable an implementation team to see where the future lies is instrumental to ongoing team success. Any team would be lucky to have Tim at their helm.

I have known and worked with Tim for over 8 years and Tim’s attention to detail is unmatched. When he takes on a project he puts his all into it. His knowledge of Epicor and business practices is excellent. He possesses a “get-er-done” attitude. And he is great with people.
Tim has a wealth of experience that he brings to the table, for his background as an engineer. He is not afraid or to proud to ask for help if he gets stumped, thus not wasting valuable time.
I worked with Tim at Encompass Solutions as a Managing Partner before I retired, and hold him as a excellent resource and team mate.
Tim is also an awesome project manager, able to take a project from start to finish on time and within budget. He is not afraid to bring up issues that might impact the project, with the ability to find workarounds and solutions.
I strongly recommend Tim in almost any endeavor he take on. If I can be of further assistance, don’t hesitate to contact me.

I had the good fortune to work with Tim on a multi-plant ERP implementation. Tim’s technical skills and his ability to work with a diverse team was remarkable. He developed and executed all of our project plans, new business processes, and taught a brand new team how to operate a brand new system successfully. His communication style is exemplary and his leadership and “can-do” attitude helped us through the tough parts of the implementation. Tim is a strategic thinker and brings energy, drive and enthusiasm to everything he does. He helped us build high performing teams and develops solid lasting mutually beneficial relationships. His council and guidance to me while we worked together was invaluable. I would have Tim on my team again any day of the week and would recommend him to anyone who needs a solid performer to help them deliver lasting results.
