Pelyco's webPUBLISH provided Panasonic with a scaleable, user-friendly reporting infrastructure that was easily integrated with their i2 system. By adding webPUBLISH, Panasonic was able accelerate and enhance the i2 capabilities, improve visibility and add real-time control and efficiency to their planning process.
