Porta Romana sheds light on business improvements with Syspro

The company is implementing a tailored Syspro manufacturing, distribution and accounting solution to replace legacy systems based on spreadsheets and an accountancy package. Porta Romana project manager Ruth Elliott, sys the new system will provide enterprise-wide information visibility, giving greater control over work in progress and inventory, as well as automating its purchasing processes. “We should immediately see the benefit of having a centralised information source of up-to-date and accurate information, instead of using manual and spreadsheet-based systems that often duplicate data. The system will give us transparency across the business, improving visibility and speed in ordering and planning,” says Elliott. “We shall be able to control costing, pricing and shipping to allow us to manage our margins better. In addition, being able to improve job schedules and tightly manage workloads and workflow will optimise our workshop processes,” she adds.
