Global Shop Solutions, a developer of enterprise resource planning (ERP) software, is celebrating its 45th anniversary this year. Founded in 1976 by Dick Alexander, the family-owned business has grown from a small software developer to a global enterprise with five separate divisions in the U.S, Mexico, U.K, Southeast Asia and New Zealand.
"I want to salute my father, who founded this company 45 years ago and still comes into work every day," said Dusty Alexander, President and CEO of Global Shop Solutions. "He built this company by listening to our customers, developing the software based on their needs, creating a work environment where employees can grow and thrive, and delivering the highest level of customer service. Forty-five years later, these fundamental values continue to guide the business in everything we do. Both of my parents put their hearts into getting this company to where it is today, and I am proud to continue the legacy they built along with my sister Erika Klein, VP of R&D, and brothers-in-law Barry Klein, CFO, and Jayland Keeney, Director of HR."
"Our success as a business depends on our ability to meet the needs of our customers in a rapidly changing industry, and that requires a long-term perspective," continued Alexander. "Our focus on the long term serves the best interests of the customer and aligns with our mission to deliver the best customer service in the industry."
Since joining the company 31 years ago as the sixth full-time employee, Alexander has seen the business grow to more than 300 employees. "We have some of the longest-tenured employees in the industry, and that drives our expertise and thought leadership," said Alexander. "Employees constantly bring new ideas to improve our software. When customers need something done, they find a way to do it."
"Developing ERP software is what we do, but our mission is to simplify manufacturing and help make our customers more successful," Alexander concluded.
