  Aircraft Manufacturers: Kansas  
 
Wichita is home to various Aircraft manufacturers that include Cessna, Boeing, LearJet/Bombardiar, and Beech/Raytheon.
Alcazar Ltd provided automated and integrated TMS, systems at each company as well as evaluating and providing cost reduction strategies for AIM (Airman Information Manual) notification of aircraft notices to aircraft owners (consistent with FAA regulations).
Alcazar Ltd provided software, hardware and engineering for multi-carrier integrated systems.
One of the largest of these companies had an interesting “Catch 22”. The evaluation showed convincing ROI of 200% in the first year. According to the finance department rules however, nothing could be done in the current year spending for capital investment if it wasn’t in last year’s budget plan. Leasing was not an option because all leases were being treated as capital spending because of the frequency of use to by-pass policy. The savings was in expense and didn’t offset capital because they were separate budgets. Because of this “Catch 22”, Alcazar Ltd funded the project immediately so received most of the return on investment that would be lost during the 6 months before the project was funded for next year. Alcazar Ltd also received a post dated Purchase Order and was paid the following year. Alcazar Ltd received 50% more than they would have been paid if the delay occurred and the aircraft manufacturer received 50% more than they would have if financing had held the order until the next year. Rigid rules require flexible solutions.
 
 
Sporting Equipment:
 
 
Alcazar Ltd was requested by an International supplier/manufacturer of sporting/camping equipment, to solve integration problems between a legacy ERP, a legacy WMS and the various shipping components so as to act as a fluid and cohesive single entity.
The client originally hired a custom software engineering company to write software to create the implementation solutions. After exceeding the implementation schedule by one year, that software supplier filed bankruptcy which required our client to hire the employees of the software company to attempt completion. Alcazar Ltd replaced the entire work of the custom software and staff with established systems that were modified to meet expectation (and exceed them) and the project was completed within five months. Alcazar Ltd continued to supply post-installation support on the software updates, hardware maintenance and new functionality requested.
