Vascular stent manufacturer gains heart with Syspro

Ken Beatty, vice president sales and operations at Cappella, says the new system is fully validated, covering manufacturing, finance and distribution – enabling it to service the customer base in the UK, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Austria, Switzerland and the Netherlands. "We need a scalable system to support our expansion and Syspro provides the exact flexibility we require. Other key features included the Microsoft .Net architecture and the end-to-end tracking function provided by the Lot Traceability module," says Beatty. Innovative vascular stent manufacturer Cappella began as a research and development organisation, and has been using spreadsheets to manage the business. "With Syspro we benefit from a fully automated system that will run our bill of materials, routing and inventory efficiently. There will be no more duplication as we can enter information once and gain access to data in real time," comments Beatty.
