South African Metal Casting Conference March 2017
Held at the Emperor’s Palace in Johannesburg, the venues were well staged and attended by a wide section of the Foundry world. Max, the South African Partner/Agent for SYNCHRO ERP was in attendance with Jean-Marie Darchicourt , SYNCHRO ERP’s Partnership/Agent Liaison Manager. We had a wonderfully designed booth and were on hand to answer any questions from prospective Customers or simply curious visitors seeing our Software for the first time.
We received a lot of positive feedback about SYNCHRO ERP products during the conference and we will be following up on these over the coming weeks.
Overall the mood during the events was good and positive with Foundries looking forward to a challenging yet exciting future. Interestingly training and skills for foundries took centre stage during presentations and workshops at the conference.
We are most grateful for a well-staged great event and we also thank Mr John Davies’s team in making us all feel so welcome and well looked after. John has decided to take a well-earned rest and pass on his responsibilities to a new Chairman so we wish him a long and happy retirement and his successor all the very best for the future.
Many thanks from the SYNCHRO ERP Team

Upbeat AFS Texas Meeting
Howdy from Texas,
I’m just back from the January 2017 AFS, American Foundry Society, meeting at the Sam Houston Horse Race Track; in Houston, none the less!
It is always so good to catch up with fellow metalcasters that embody the spirit of the AFS and continue the long historical legacy of turning liquid metal into castings! The turnout for the board and general meeting was better than expected and in the end, it turned out to be a large crowd of approximately seventy members.

Shane's Blog - September 2016
Howdy once again from Texas where it’s blazing hot, so hot they are melting iron in the parking lot and the local pancake house is cooking eggs on the hoods of cars! What the heck, one wouldn’t expect anything else in Texas this time of the year other than lack of rain and excessive heat. Myself, I’ll take the heat over the cold anytime as we have chilled air in Texas!
SYNCHRO ERP’s global implementation manager was recently flying from Seattle to Newark and I tracked the flight using the wonders of the Wild West Web. Sometimes we just need to sit back and reflect on all the wonders of what the internet has brought to us. Not that long ago, if one wanted a flight status; the only option was to call the airline. Today, with all of the interconnectivity of the “dots” everything is seemingly in real time.
