Before: Challenges and Opportunities
- Too many processes were performed manually resulting in errors. QPS was looking to streamline and optimize its processes in areas such as finance, sales, purchasing, and inventory management.
- With no item traceability system in place, the company was at risk of losing key accounts.
- No ability to age its inventory was leading to dead inventory and slow turn times.
Why Softengine & SAP
- The company chose SAP on the basis of its reputation, reliability, and flexibility. SAP Business One offered the necessary scalability to adapt and grow without major disruption to ongoing business.
- QPS decided to work with Softengine as its implementation partner as they are nearby, can customize the system in line with QPS’s needs, and offer add-ons to help run internal and customer-facing processes.
After: Value Driven Results
- Operational efficiencies reduced manual effort, and minimal errors thanks to extensive automation.
- Full batch/lot traceability for packaging and inventory ensures compliance with GSFI standards.
- Increased productivity and faster decision-making due to mobile access to critical data in real time.
- Ability to age the inventory to better enforce inventory turns and reduce order quantities, resulting in $500,000 less stock held in the warehouse. In addition, items can be found instantly in bin locations.
- The upper management team can manage the company better through the introduction of KPIs in a dashboard, advanced reporting, and enhanced visibility.
