Transforming Business Operations with SYSPRO Process Assessment & Review Consulting

Background

For over a decade, a manufacturer has relied on SYSPRO to manage its operations. Initially, the system was installed to support 7 users within a single business unit. However, as the company expanded, it now supports 100 users across multiple business units, including overseas facilities. Despite the growth, the company struggled to keep up with the evolving features of SYSPRO, leading to inefficiencies and missed opportunities.

Challenges

• The company experienced slow changes that failed to capture the current business needs.
• The system’s capabilities were not fully leveraged, leading to operational inefficiencies.

SYSPRO Process Assessment & Review Consulting (SPARC)

The company reached out for SYSPRO consulting to help regain efficiencies.
To address these challenges, we provided a SPARC assessment. This comprehensive review included:

• Observing and evaluating current business processes across the company.
• Meeting with key users to discuss challenges and wish list items.
• Evaluating their current use of SYSPRO to identify gaps in functionality, security, use and training.
• Identifying applicable IT and third-party integrations to enhance efficiency.
• Outlining changes and a path forward.
