This software targets cable manufacturers, distributors, and their customers, such as utilities and telecom companies. The software is based on cable length (dimension) as a total business administration concept, with focus on specific industry functionality:
- Tracking of individual lengths throughout the entire logistics cycle, from sales order through replenishment
- Optimization of lengths by event-driven real-time MRP
- Unique cutting procedures and cutting order management
- Pricing for non-ferrous metals of a cable
- Drum and reel management
The company
Our client is a leading manufacturer and distributor of Fiber Optic Cable. The company has 140 users across 38 locations nationwide and runs SAP R/3 ERP.
The ERP application needs to have the factory, head office, and other key locations to be 'always on' in order to share data. The company does not want to lose valuable transaction and operations data in a communications breakdown.
The solution
After careful consideration the company has deployed multiple connectivity options in its network. There are VSAT links, leased lines, VPN links, ISDN links, RF (Radio Frequency) links, and dialup links.
The benefits
Every location enjoys uninterrupted connectivity and each link is adequately backed up for reliability. The company can go ahead with its future plan of deploying CRM, SCM, and VoIP without worrying about connectivity. |
