“We are pleased to collaborate with the visionary team at Starlite to implement dataSIGN and continue its enhancement with Starlight’s input to provide an even more robust solution to sign manufacturers,” stated Rick Bowles, Datacom’s President. "We ultimately chose dataSIGN because we saw the need to consolidate our multiple systems into one fully-integrated system, and it was clear that dataSIGN had created a product that was superior to any other software in the industry."

The dataSIGN solution will assist Starlite in better tracking our processes from start to finish within a single system. Moreover, all of the data is stored in a central database, which allows us to ‘slice and dice’ the information and better analyze our business to improve the results of our operations,” said Alan McGrew, General Manager of Starlite. "dataSIGN will also allow us to increase productivity by eliminating duplicate data-entry, multiple paper trails and excess staff time. For example, we look forward to being able to more easily create job quotes which can quickly be converted into sales proposals, then into work orders and finally into invoices -- all within one system,” added Terry Brockett, Chief Operating Officer of Starlite.
