We also wanted a firm that could help us with the software implementation and that understands the foundry industry out of the box,” said Pat Nolan, a key member of the selection committee from Columbus Steel Castings. Pat also stated “What impressed us the most is the list of foundries using Odyssey and the amount of time and money that B&L re-invests into Odyssey.”
