Nelson Australia, which has run its operations on SYSPRO since 2004 and added the Product Configurator in 2006, needed its inbound sales orders from major customer Reece Australia to stop arriving as a manual, paper-heavy process prone to data-entry errors.
Implementation partner ProActive Integrators built a custom EDI application that polls Reece’s EDI system for inbound sales orders, downloads and logs each one, and converts it to XML using SYSPRO’s Document Flow Manager for automatic import.
“By automating the sales order and invoicing processes we eliminated an enormous amount of paper shuffling and minimized the errors that inevitably crop up during data entry,” says Willem Meyer, Nelson’s Chief Finance and Operations Officer, who called the project an unqualified success – orders now auto-import into SYSPRO with automatic acknowledgement and invoicing back to Reece on shipment.
