Challenge

• Using a homegrown software system for more than 20 years
• Wanted to improve inventory fill rates while reducing inventory levels
• Needed to ship orders faster and with greater accuracy
• Seeking to reduce costs and streamline operations by automating more processes, particularly in their finished goods warehouses

Solution

• Sage ERP X3
• Offered more in both the WMS and assembly areas than the other providers
• Provided robust order fulfillment capabilities, had built-in warehouse location management features and offered automated data collection capabilities that were readily scalable to CRP's level of light assembly operations

Results

• Improved order cycle times
• Inventory can be allocated regardless of whether it's against on-hand stock, backorders or receipts coming in from overseas
• Improved visibility into real-time information enables better exception management and the ability to quickly meet changing customer needs
• Better visibility into labor costs
