QAD Inc. (Nasdaq: QADA) (Nasdaq: QADB), a leading provider of flexible, cloud-based enterprise software and services for global manufacturing companies announced today that DDK (Thailand) Ltd. will upgrade its ERP to QAD Adaptive ERP in facilities in Thailand, China and Vietnam.

“We are excited that a longtime customer in the Asia Pacific region has decided to move to QAD Adaptive ERP,” said QAD Senior Vice President, Asia Pacific Stefan deHaar. “The pace of change has increased for manufacturers, and we design our solutions to enable customers to react quickly to that change and turn it into a business advantage. With QAD Adaptive ERP, DDK (Thailand) Ltd. will have a scalable, adaptable platform to build on for the future.”

DDK (Thailand) Ltd. manufactures rectangular connectors, printed circuit board connectors, flat cable connectors, modular connectors, FFC/FPC connectors, coaxial connectors, terminal blocks and other fine pitch connectors designed and developed by DDK Thailand and DDK Ltd. in Japan.

DDK (Thailand) Ltd. began using QAD ERP in 2000. DDK Thailand hoped to improve its business processes through a move to QAD Adaptive ERP, letting QAD manage their ERP in the cloud. QAD Adaptive ERP is powered by the QAD Enterprise Platform, which DDK Thailand hopes will allow it to extend and adapt the software to meet its ever-changing business needs while also eliminating the need for customizations. QAD Adaptive ERP will also help DDK Thailand meet evolving industry requirements, including IATF 16949 for the automotive and medical device industries.

In addition to implementing QAD Adaptive ERP, DDK Thailand will also begin using QAD Automation Solutions to align its business systems to its material processes. QAD Automation Solutions data collection and label printing functionality will help DDK Thailand ensure inventory accuracy through process compliance.
