ERP Software Encompix Provides Accuracy at Big Sky Engineering
Encompix (www.encompix.com) a business unit of Made2Manage Systems, has filled the manufacturing software requirements of engineer-to-order companies since 1992. The company name reflects a commitment to developing business application solutions that encompass the complex areas of project-based and job-based manufacturing. Encompix provides ETO manufacturers with a competitive advantage by improving bottom line results.
Located in Verona, Wisconsin, just outside of Madison in south-central Wisconsin, Big Sky provides a full range of services from engineering related services to complete turnkey automated systems. With Blue Sky growing rapidly, it became clear that a combination of QuickBooks and spreadsheets could not keep pace nor provide the business with the control and information it needed.
Peter Dettmer, sales and technology manager, led the implementation team, and after three and a half months Blue Sky went live on Encompix, finally dropping all the old systems in January 2006.
According to Dettmer, Blue Sky is already seeing big benefits from using Encompix. "The biggest benefit we've seen so far is that information is now available to everyone in the organization. Due to the limitations of our previous systems, purchase order information was only available to one person. No one else knew whether or not a purchase order had been placed. Also, we now have true actual costs for our products, and this will help us improve the accuracy of our estimates in the future."
Big Sky Engineering was formed in 1997 with the goal of providing economical automation solutions to the ever-changing packaging industry.

What is the new name for Big Sky Airlines?
I dont think Big Sky exists any longer so I was wondering what the new name is?
BILLINGS - Big Sky Airlines will not shut down operations until Great Lakes Aviation takes over. This from Big Sky President Fred DeLeeuw. They will continue flying Essential Air Service routes to southern and eastern Montana as well as routes to Missoula and Helena.
Fred DeLeeuw says they are not sure when Great Lakes Aviation will take over, but air service will be provided regardless. In the meantime, Bruce Tall says, Phoenix Acquisitions is marketing it's business plan in an attempt to buy Big Sky.
Phoenix Acquisitions is comprised of Big Sky employees who are trying to keep the company local. He says they should know whether they're able to buy Big Sky's assets within the next couple of weeks.
