Astute Electronics set for more growth on Syspro ERP
1 min read
Ware, Hertfordshire-based electrnic components supplier Astute Electronics says it expects its K3 Syspro ERP system to support ongoing growth that has already taken the company from £4 million in 1999 to £17 million last year.
The system is allowing the company to develop the new working practices demanded of a growing business, and Astute believes it is helping to deliver a significant increase in the efficiency of its business processes.
Says Simon Humphreys, IT manager: “At the end of a two-day demonstration session, K3 had emerged as clearly the best-choice supplier. They put a lot into the demo and really impressed the management team.”
Astute sources electronic components from all over the world for its customers- individually and as kits - for use as spare parts or in new products. It operates stringent QA procedures and its markets include military, CEMs (contract equipment manufacturers) and instrumentation. Astute’s customers range from the world’s largest military equipment manufacturers to SMEs, private individuals and even inventors.
The Syspro system went live inside six months and is allowing users access via the Internet from its company’s global locations. Also, its business analytics module is enabling Astute to extract and analyse key performance information to determine the cost-efficiency of individual.
“It will save our chief accountant at least two days a month on the preparation of reports alone and he can concentrate on analysis of the information instead; that principle will cascade down throughout the company,” says Humphreys.
