Press Release Summary: QualiFine Strong Channel Partner for Hertzler Systems

Press Release Body: Hertzler Systems, based in Goshen, Indiana, has been providing
accurate data acquisition and analysis solutions for over twenty years. Its diverse
customer base includes manufacturing, service and transactional environments.
Hertzler's GainSeeker Suite product and its training and consulting services allow
customers to easily acquire data from any process, analyze the data in real time,
instantly notify process owners of process changes and uncover root causes for these
variations. As a result, customers can reduce costs, cycle time, errors and defects
and increase profitability.


Hertzler Systems' data acquisition and analysis solutions are helping customers
eliminate scrap, waste and rework in business processes. But the company is also
interested in giving corporate leaders the tools they need to make better decisions
and improve their bottom line. Partners like QualiFine are paving the way for
Hertzler to continue to advance both objectives.


Hertzler first teamed with QualiFine founder Jay Bronec when he was recruited by the
Webber Group to handle its software business. Over time the software business, more
focused on solving shop floor challenges, took a different path from Webber's
quality consulting business and paved the way for Jay to purchase the Hertzler
franchise and establish QualiFine.


"We were delighted to transfer the relationship to QualiFine because Jay brought
intense energy and a vision for growing the business," said Evan Miller, President
of Hertzler. By listening to customers, QualiFine found that instead of software,
companies wanted solutions capable of solving their quality problems. QualiFine
responded with a breakthrough approach involving the creation and customization of
the first networked database-driven quality data systems. The result was powerful
custom solutions so well received they became the building blocks for one of the
most successful Hertzler Systems franchises in the world.


A decade later Hertzler calls QualiFine a VAR - (Value Added Reseller). "QualiFine
adds value to our GainSeeker Suite during the implementation process the company
performs," said Byron Shetler, Vice President of Technology for Hertzler. "QualiFine
customers are raving fans which enhances Hertzler's reputation. In addition,
QualiFine is a great source of product feedback - feedback that leads to many new
system enhancements that customers really value."



Shetler says, "In addition to generating product enhancements, QualiFine has a
unique perspective on how the Hertzler systems can be stretched and utilized.
QualiFine's inventive approaches develop entrenchment with the customer that leads
to good references and migratory business." Based in Chicago, QualiFine is able to
provide local service and support to Hertzler customers as well as a 3500 square
foot training center with a live application laboratory.


As a leading provider of automated statistical process control (SPC) solutions,
partnering with QualiFine allows Hertzler to extend its reach and give customers the
tools they need to compete in today's lean manufacturing environment. Shetler noted,
"QualiFine was selected because of their desire to provide complete solutions to
customers. Their approach meshes with our mission to help our customers make
informed decisions about process improvements by providing the right software and
services while fostering ongoing relationships."


Hertzler Systems (www.hertzler.com) provides seamless, accurate data acquisition
solutions that drive business transformation. The company provides the leading
real-time data acquisition and analytics software, the GainSeeker Suite. This
powerful and flexible system is best used by lean and progressive companies.
Gainseeker Suite allows companies to connect with devices and other information
systems, collecting data and alarming key personnel when problems arise; this
technology allows organizations to analyze data for root cause problems, converting
data into knowledge.

According to Miller, "Certified Integration Partners play an important role in our
channel strategy, providing sales, implementation, support, training, and
customization services. By teaming with Hertzler these certified integration
partners are able to differentiate their businesses by offering uniquely
customer-centric quality data systems building higher levels of satisfaction for
customers and higher levels of profitability for vital strategic channel partners."
