Electrical equipment manufacturer Petrel, which serves the petrochemical, oil and gas industries, says it’s expecting significantly improved operations when it goes live with a Syspro ERP system in Octoberr.
Beyond ERP, the company is getting a K3 network infrastructure solution, as well as back-end hardware, data security and the Microsoft operating and database platform.
Petrel, which is seeing considerable growth, is replacing a decade old system, and says it chose K3 and Syspro for its potential to improve product traceability, as well as visibility of management information and, at another level, to boost picking and despatch accuracy.
Says Petrel managing director Peter Maclean: “We have several requirements of Syspro that will help to improve our operations and ultimately benefit our customers. For example, traceability is a must as we provide products to be used in potentially explosive environments.”
And he adds: “Syspro will streamline our picking and despatch operations, giving us heightened levels of accuracy… Our new system will help us to improve internally, with the benefits of improvements in accuracy passed on to our customers.”
