Hidden Data is as Vital as Big Data – Ability to Access Hidden Data Unlocks the Abillity to Execute Rapid Product Recalls

Hidden data vs Big DataSYSPRO ERP software offers users the ability to access “hidden data” as well as “big data.” The ability to access “hidden data” is a must for organizations, such as medical device and food manufacturers, to execute efficient and rapid product recalls, notes SYSPRO USA President Joey Benadretti. “While the utilization of ‘big data’ helps a company identify trends and chart future courses, the importance for numerous companies to have access to ‘hidden data’ cannot be overstated ,” he says. “One of the underlying principles of basing business decisions on ‘big data’ is that the ability to access the volume, variety, and velocity of data tends to compensate for data errors. But,” says Bendaretti, “manufacturers and distributors in a wide variety of industries, such as food, medical devices, automotive, pharmaceutical and others, must be able to connect and correlate relationships, hierarchies and multiple data linkages to facilitate the recall of products that may contain tainted ingredients or faulty parts that could cause harm or even death. And, this is why SYSPRO ERP is the choice of many companies within these industries.”

SYSPRO lot traceability and serial tracking data affords extensive and precise visibility up or down the supply chain, as well as providing specific component to parent tracking, thereby providing the means to expedite recalls, should the need arise. SYSPRO optionally allows specific traceable components to be reserved for specific work-orders, as well as providing the flexibility of specifying the parent traceable numbers at the beginning, during or the end of the manufacturing process. While the average cost of a recall to participating food and consumer product companies can run into millions of dollars, this number excludes the extensive human expense involved in the recalls. The ability and speed to collect the required data can cut recall time to hours rather than days or weeks and significantly reduce the costs of the recall.

Gorant Chocolatier, Boardman, Ohio-based maker of quality chocolates, has stated one of the reasons for the firm’s selection of SYSPRO ERP was extensive traceability functionality. The company stated: “The software’s ability to trace ingredients from origin through the manufacturing process to the ultimate customer not only helps us to accommodate customers who demand this ability, but to fully comply with FDA rules and regulations pertaining to food safety.” Gorant, in fact, did a mock recall that involved tracing the path of a “tainted” ingredient. The recall was accomplished in less than two hours. What is produced and when are vital, but the data of what has gone into the production is also vital.

Manufacturers and distributors utilizing SYSPRO ERP also have the option of running a variety of reports that utilize “hidden data”’ to provide management with effective decision making tools. For example, Brooklyn-based Lee Springs runs a daily report which evaluates stock usage and allocations, indicating which stock items have fallen below required levels and automatically creating a suggested stock replenishment requisition.
Concludes Benadretti: “The implementation of cost- effective SYSPRO software helps both food, medical device manufacturers and a host of other manufacturers and distributors access both ‘big data’ as well as the ‘hidden data’ needed to streamline their supply chains, make effective management decisions and employ extensive ‘backwards and forwards’ component and product traceability for speedy recalls.”

SYSPRO is the leading supplier of ERP software to mid-market manufacturers and distributors. SYSPRO has more than 14,500 licensed customers in over 60 countries around the globe. For more information on SYSPRO, or to schedule a consultation on how we can better serve you, please visit here.

SYSPRO News: SYSPRO Signs Manufacturer of Precision Machined Plastic Components

PFIncPrecision Fluorocarbon Inc. Chooses SYSPRO ERP over Epicor, Sage, Global Shop and Microsoft

SYSPRO, a developer of best-of-breed, award-winning enterprise resource planning (ERP) software for on-premise and cloud-based utilization, today announced that SYSPRO ERP software has been selected to drive the efficient growth of Precision Fluorocarbon Inc. (PFI.) The Tomball, Texas-based manufacturer that specializes in compression molded PTFE, thermally formed PTFE diaphragms and custom machined plastic components selected SYSPRO ERP over Epicor, Sage, Global Shop and Microsoft. According to Beth Frank, PFI Director of Sales & Marketing, the choice of SYSPRO software was based on the following:

1. The references of current SYSPRO software users who shared their satisfaction with the product and support. (See IDC Report.)
2. User friendly, customizable dashboards, which give users the up-to-the-minute information they need to make pertinent business decisions.
3. The rapid follow up responses and documentation provided by SYSPRO during the company’s evaluation period.

Ms. Frank notes that the search for new ERP software was initiated to keep pace with and support the company’s rapid growth, replace the seven disparate software systems currently used and provide a single source for real-time operational data. Additionally, by automating previously manual processes, PFI can continue to grow without having to add additional administrative labor to our business model. This will ultimately ensure that PFI continues to offer its customers the best value possible.

According to Ms. Frank, Precision Fluorocarbon Inc. is looking to SYSPRO ERP to provide rapid access to business and customer information and facilitate data driven decisions which will positively impact company efficiency and planned growth.

About Precision Fluorocarbon
PFI, a privately held corporation, was founded in 1989 with the primary focus on custom made to order PTFE machined products, primarily for the oil field. After the first year in operation, a downturn in the energy sector prompted the organization to diversify into other industries and today serves the Medical Device Industry, OEM Pump & Valve manufacturers, Semiconductor and many other industries requiring complex, machined components. PFI is ISO 9001:2008 certified and is looking forward to utilizing the tools SYSPRO ERP will bring to enhance our focus on delivering the highest quality products to our customers.

Joey Benadretti, SYSPRO USA President, Honored as “UCI Mentor of the Year”

DSC_0242Benadretti Named Along with Christen Chambers, Vice President, Digital Media, Fox Networks Group

SYSPRO, a developer of best-of-breed, award-winning enterprise resource planning (ERP) software for on-premise and cloud-based utilization, today announced that Joey Benadretti, SYSPRO USA President, has been honored as “Mentor of the Year,” by the Paul Merage School of Business and the Center for Global Leadership at the University of California, Irvine. In the 2013 Financial Times Global MBA rankings, UC Irvine’s Paul Merage School of Business ranked 9th overall in the U.S. among public universities and 5th in the U.S. for employment upon graduation (at 94 percent).

Benadretti and Christen Chambers, Vice President of Digital Media for the Fox Networks Group, were selected from a group of more than 125 mentors who gave of their time and business acumen to advise and encourage over 170 MBA students over the course of an academic school year.
In his acceptance speech, Benadretti discussed why he felt the UCI Mentorship Program was so important for both the mentor and the protégé:

o The ability to give back to the community;
o Investment in future generations;
o Encourage innovative thought leadership while providing meaningful vision and focus for future job selection;
o Mentorship programs inspire global leadership.

Benadretti also stated that he takes special pride in the MBA student whom he mentored for two successive semesters, Karl Riesen, an Engineering Manager employed by Western Digital. In wishing his “protégé” success, Benadretti noted that Karl is a high caliber individual with huge capabilities and potential for growth and is exceptionally open to direction and new ideas. “In a more general context, I feel mentoring is always a ‘two-way street’ and a stage that facilitates the development of lasting friendships. At the same time, mentoring helps each student clarify what is important, focus on clear communication and articulation, encourage and establish a vision, structure ideas and develop attainable goals. Many of the protégés in the Mentoring Program are students who earn high grades and excel academically. It has been both a rewarding and powerful experience to see my protégé deal with situations both in and outside the work place. In fact, it has become an inspiring collaboration that has had a lasting impact on me as well,” Benadretti notes.

In accepting his award from Dr. Jone Pearce, Dean’s Professor of Leadership and Director of the Center of Global Leadership and Anna Liza Garcia, Associate Director of the Center for Global Leadership at the UCI Paul Merage School of Business, Benadretti quoted Albert Einstein, indicating that the verbiage of the great sage should be a guiding principle of everyone in business: “I want to do something great and wonderful, but I must start by doing the little things like they are great and wonderful.”

Benadretti also noted how he applies mentoring principles in his position as SYSPRO USA President. “Mentoring is coaching,” he said, “and the SYSPRO strategy is to build coaches within the company, thereby extending the combined SYSPRO expertise to help customers achieve outstanding results from the utilization of our SYSPRO ERP software.”

Guest Blog: What the Marketplace Fairness Act Could Mean for Your Business

MFAThe Senate recently passed the Marketplace Fairness Act of 2013 [MFA] by a vote of 69 to 27, and the bill now awaits debate in the House. If this bill passes it could dramatically change sales tax requirements for many businesses within 180 days after it becomes law. But, of course, the most important question is what it might mean for your business. It’s important to consider:

1. Can your business handle the change?
2. Does your ERP system handle the change?

This post will unpack the MFA and how it could impact your business’ tax requirements. Additionally, we will give insight into whether you need to do some planning so your current infrastructure can handle the change.

MFA overview:

Today, if your business sells into states where you have no physical presence—like a warehouse, storefront, or sales personnel—you don’t have to collect sales tax in those states. The MFA would change this by allowing states to require out-of-state businesses to collect sales tax, even if they don’t have an in-state physical presence.

In other words, if you’re based in New York and currently sell into California without collecting California sales tax, MFA would give California the right to make you collect sales tax on sales made to its residents.

There are two caveats to the authority MFA would grant to states.

• First, in order to enact MFA, states must meet certain simplification requirements to their tax codes, like providing a centralized sales tax administration for both state and local jurisdictions. Currently 22 states have tax codes that would automatically meet these requirements. Learn more about which states would have the easiest time implementing MFA: http://salestaxchanges.com/#map

• Second, in its current version the bill makes an exception for businesses that gross less than $1 million per calendar year in total U.S. remote sales. Learn more about the small seller exception here.

What it would mean for your business

If the bill passes, you may have to start collecting sales tax in states where you currently don’t collect, provided that you don’t qualify for the small seller exception. For some businesses this will mean a significant increase in the amount of states where they have to collect, file, and remit sales tax.

In addition, the bill would not change any of your current sales tax requirements. If you collect and file Illinois sales tax, you will continue to do that, with our without MFA.

What you can do to get ready:

Most ERP systems have inherent or limited ability to manage complex tax situations. In this case, the real overhead is not only setting up but also the ongoing maintenance of tax tables. So either way, check to see if your ERP system integrates with AvaTax. If it does not, start looking at a system like SYSPRO.

AvaTax, the cloud-based tax management solution, is a fully-integrated add-on. With modest set-up required, AvaTax populates the taxability tables and sales tax fields in the order-entry screens. SYSPRO users and their customers both benefit. Users don’t have to learn any new systems and customers get current and accurate sales tax calculations.

While sales tax calculation and remittance may seem to be more complex with this pending legislation, SYSPRO clients have relief and can rest easy knowing their company can easily handle the MFA changes.

Learn more about being ready for sales tax changes during a webinar on June 13.

The on-the-go worker, access to real-time data and SYSPRO Espresso: The New 3 Musketeers!

mobileI recently spent a few days on the road visiting customers across various US states. Preparing for this trip, I felt a little stressed about how I would still be able to manage SYSPRO USA’s Social Media Accounts even though I would be spending the majority of each day away from my laptop or any sort of office setting. Thankfully, social media has vastly evolved over the past few years and mobile application developments like the Twitter and Facebook Apps allow me the freedom to still do my job even though I may not be in the office. At the end of my trip I was sitting in the airport waiting for my flight home and I spent some time catching up on work on my iPad. Reflecting back on my week, I started to think about how Enterprise Software has also immensely evolved to keep up with trends and what is now known as the “on-the-go” worker. Similar to my situation of needing to maintain my work while on-the-go, manufacturers and distributors need the ability to run their businesses away from the office and their biggest necessity is access to real-time data.

So, what has SYSPRO done to keep up with a workforce that is demanding more mobility every day? Answer: Develop a ground-breaking platform for the mobile world, known as SYSPRO Espresso. Like SYSPRO, the SYSPRO Espresso mobile application is targeted specifically at mid-market manufacturing or distribution executives and employees who require immediate access to decision-making information and real-time data when not office bound. The SYSPRO Espresso architecture is revolutionary, the first mobile platform of its kind focused at manufacturers and distributors and one of the first to use a single codebase to create native applications for any mobile device. SYSPRO Espresso is device and platform agnostic; it works on iOS, Blackberry, Windows Phone and Android mobile devices. Espresso has built-in powerful customization capabilities both for the end-user and developers to engage.

SMB manufacturers and distributors can benefit immensely from adopting the SYSPRO Espresso mobile solution:

- Increased productivity and better decisions – search and retrieve up-to-date information whenever you need
- Empowered employees – work and access secure information anywhere, anytime
- Improved customer engagement – provides real-time sales and service information
-Streamlined supply chain – supplier and inventory data at your fingertips
-Tailored experience – customize the look and experience of SYSPRO Espresso applications
-Always accessible- even when not connected, SYSPRO Espresso applications work offline (synchronize later when you have a connection)
- Library of applications available – SYSPRO Espresso applications will be available via the community platform of the SYSPRO App Store

SYSPRO is the first to market an all-inclusive, device-independent ERP mobile solution specifically for its customers. Not only does it support multiple mobile devices as well as the desktop, but the SYSPRO Espresso architecture enables full customization by both the user to adjust how the user interface (UI) behaves, as well as by the developer through the use of components (building blocks) to add business functionality on the server. The release of an application like SYSPRO Espresso seamlessly blends the relationship between an on-the-go worker and access to real time data. In fact, they’re this generation’s version of the Three Musketeers!

Stay tuned for more information regarding SYSPRO Espresso in the next coming months.

SYSPRO Enables Distributor to Fill 6+ Orders Per Minute and Earn Placement on List of “100 Great Supply Chain Projects”

1000bulbsLeading Supply-Chain Magazine Honors SYSPRO for Facilitating Record Order Fulfillment at Service Lighting and Electrical Supplies

SYSPRO, a developer of best-of-breed, award-winning enterprise resource planning (ERP) software for on-premise and cloud-based utilization, today announced the company’s inclusion on the annual list of the “2013 Supply & Demand Chain Executive 100,” a compilation of “100 Great Supply Chain Projects” issued annually by Supply & Demand Chain Executive Magazine. SYSPRO was selected based upon the highly effective utilization of SYSPRO ERP Software by Service Lighting and Electrical Supplies (aka 1000 Bulbs.com.)

1000Bulbs.com recently announced record shipping activity. In fact, the Texas-based Internet retailer experienced days during which an average of 3000 orders were shipped — a run rate of over 6 orders per minute during each daily 8 hour shift.

Kim Pedersen, company founder and president, attributes the company’s ability to process record shipments to the effective utilization of SYSPRO ERP software, which has automated, among other procedures, Web-based order processing and the development of highly efficient troubleshooting, metrics, management and exception reporting.

1000Bulbs.com has created a seamless business specific integration using the SYSPRO Power Tailoring features. Web-based customer orders are seamlessly passed into SYSPRO for processing and fulfillment. 1000Bulbs.com applies allocation logic based on customer preferences to determine order status, followed by logic based on stock holding, customer credit and other pertinent order details. From within SYSPRO problematic orders are automatically flagged for follow up to confirm order details.

Pedersen explains that SYSPRO enables 1000Bulbs.com to define some extremely proactive exception reports and management metrics to identify potential issues. The analytical reports range from a list of back orders, to bad addresses, credit card issues and so on. Customer service groups try to proactively solve the problems transparent to the customer. “If they can’t, then they will contact the customer, providing options,” Pedersen says.

According to Barry Hochfelder, Editor of Supply & Demand Chain Executive, the 2013 Supply & Demand Chain Executive 100 lists supply chain solution and service providers that are helping their customers and clients achieve supply chain excellence. They have produced measurable gains in ROI through cost-cutting and increased efficiency, whether in warehouse, transportation, procurement sourcing or any other category in the end-to-end supply chain. The submissions were evaluated by the magazine’s editorial staff primarily based on: ambitiousness/scope of the project (30 percent); creative application of technologies/solutions/services used (20 percent); extent of the business results/impact (40 percent); clarity of submission (10 percent).

We will always be on the latest version of SYSPRO without a lot of downtime.”

SYSPRO ERP Software Reviewed by SocialERP.com

SYSPRO Called “Energizer Bunny of ERP Software” by Reviewer Chuck Schaeffer

SYSPRO, the leading global supplier of on-premise, cloud and mobile Business ERP Software for manufacturers and distributors, announced today SYSPRO ERP has been reviewed by Chuck Schaeffer of socialERP.com and described as “The Energizer Bunny of ERP Software.”

Notes Schaeffer, “SYSPRO is one of those ERP software brands that just keeps chugging along . . .” He goes on to say, “The Company [SYSPRO] is a trusted brand, but unfortunately not a recognized brand.” Tracing the history of SYSPRO to “four years before the PC was even created,” Schaeffer says that since its founding in 1978, SYSPRO has been “quietly and steadily maturing its application and growing its customer count.”

In his review Schaeffer lists the followings as SYSPRO strengths:

- SYSPRO focuses on target markets (Doesn’t try to be ‘all things to all companies;’)
- SYSPRO offers customers a choice of cloud, hosted or on-premise;
- SYSPRO is built with .NET on a Microsoft stack and uses a rules-based development environment for customization and extensibility;
- The application is highly configurable . . . A SYSPRO implementation can achieve a fast time to value; SYSPRO delivers a compelling Cost of Ownership (TCO);
- The company supports multi-company management, multiple currencies and four languages out of the box (enabling global reach;)
- SYSPRO is viable . . . it’s a profitable company with sufficient critical mass to make the necessary R&D and other investments to continue the road ahead.

The SYSPRO channel is 1500 strong, says Schaeffer, calling the channel “a mature force” which “knows manufacturing and distribution cold.”

Wrapping up his assessment of SYSPRO, Schaeffer says, “SYSPRO is a unique company offering a unique solution. It’s a company that flies under the radar for most, manages a single product and grows organically rather than by acquisition. It’s worked for over 30 years, and based on the company’s high customer retention, continued innovation and strong management team, it’s likely to continue for quite some time.”
