ERP Update:
New System Cutover September 1st for US Customers, Only

This is our fifth article in our ERP series that covers the changes customers will see when we move to our new ERP. Our first step in this global implementation is to migrate our US business to the new system, targeted for September 1, 2021. Customers outside of the US will not be affected by this first phase of the transition but will be transitioned to the new system in January 2022.In preparation for the US go-live, there will be black out period to ensure a successful migration of the system. This black out period will be August 30th to September 7th and during this time orders cannot be accepted, shipped, or invoiced for US customers. Shipping for US customers will resume after the Labor Day holiday on Sept 7th. Our customer service representatives will review all US orders scheduled to ship during those dates and work with you to move your orders up or to move them out to meet your requirements without disruption in supply. Your DCL sales account manager and customer service representative are available to assist you through this transition. Lastly, this only affects products sold by DCL Corporation (USA) LLC (formerly LANSCO COLORS) which are in DCL’s existing ERP system and does not impact the Bushy Park products being purchased by customers through the DCL Corporation (BP) LLC legal entity which is currently being serviced via a transition service agreement with Sun Chemical using their ERP.
If you have any questions, please contact your local sales representative.
