| Sage | Legacy | Sage 100 (formerly MAS 90 & MAS 200) | ERP Financial | ERP | n/a | 2016 | 2016 |
In 2016, Halstead International implemented Sage 100 (formerly MAS 90 & MAS 200) as an ERP Financial application and integrated SPS Commerce Fulfillment to scale EDI-driven order processing and shipping workflows. The initiative targeted order-to-cash automation across Halstead’s manufacturing and distribution operations, supporting the company’s retail relationships with Home Depot in the US, Canada, and Mexico and distribution via Metroflor and Vertex services into 40 plus countries.
The Sage 100 deployment focused on automating core financial and operational modules typical of ERP Financial systems, including invoicing, order processing, returns handling, and fulfillment posting. Halstead upgraded Sage 100 and configured third-party connectors, using SPS Commerce Fulfillment to remove manual Excel import and export tasks, enforce automated EDI mappings, and accelerate order transmission into the ERP.
Integration work emphasized SPS Commerce Fulfillment and retailer EDI networks, with live mapping corrections and iterative testing to handle invalid test data from a major retailer’s EDI processor. The deployment extended across Halstead’s operations organization, where approximately twenty people performed order processing and shipping, and the company planned to roll all entities onto the SPS solution to standardize fulfillment flows.
Governance and process changes included on-site technical collaboration with the SPS team, rapid mapping updates performed during cutover, and knowledge transfer to internal systems staff to sustain EDI operations. Outcomes stated by Halstead were explicit, including a 15 percent business growth concurrent with the rollout, a two day per week acceleration in order processing, no additional hires required, and projected labor savings in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, as well as measurable improvements in return handling and an ambition to further scale efficiency across entities.

| Olark | Legacy | Olark Live Chat | Chatbots and Conversational AI | AI-Powered Application | n/a | 2017 | 2017 |
In 2017, Halstead International implemented Olark Live Chat on its public website. Halstead International deployed Olark Live Chat, a Chatbots and Conversational AI application to support customer service and online sales assistance, centralizing real-time visitor engagement.
The technical deployment uses an embedded chat widget that provides real-time messaging, visitor monitoring, canned responses, chat transcripts, offline messaging, and chat-based lead capture. Olark Live Chat supports agent queues, manual routing, and transcript logging to standardize customer interactions. For a 150-employee manufacturing firm, the implementation is scaled to support direct customer service and commercial inquiry handling rather than an enterprise contact center.
Operational ownership is centered on customer service and sales functions, with workflows for initial triage, agent escalation, and follow-up via email or CRM handoff where configured. Training, standardized response templates, and transcript review are implied governance elements to ensure consistent messaging and operational handoff. This implementation links Halstead International, Olark Live Chat, the Chatbots and Conversational AI category, and front-line customer service and online sales functions.

| Cisco Systems | Legacy | Cisco Webex Meetings | Audio Video and Web Conferencing | Collaboration | n/a | 2020 | 2020 |
In 2020, Halstead International deployed Cisco Webex Meetings in the Audio Video and Web Conferencing category to provide web-based conferencing access directly from its corporate website. The implementation surfaces Webex meeting entry points on the site to enable browser-based join flows for employees, customers, and external partners without requiring a separate desktop client.
The Cisco Webex Meetings configuration focuses on core meeting capabilities typical of Audio Video and Web Conferencing applications, including video conferencing, audio bridging, screen sharing, meeting recording, and scheduled meeting controls. Configuration work centered on provisioning hosted meeting sessions, managing meeting templates, and controlling external join permissions exposed via website links.
Operational governance is administered by corporate IT, which configures user access, meeting role permissions, and the website embedding of join controls within the content management system. Cisco Webex Meetings supports cross-functional business functions such as operations, sales and engineering by delivering synchronous collaboration and remote meeting capability directly through Halstead International's website.
