About The Customer
Coricraft is a leading South African furniture manufacturer and retailer that has experienced continuous growth since its inception 20 years ago. Starting as a single store, the company has expanded its operations and now has 70 warehouse and store locations. Coricraft recently acquired a company that generates between 500 and 1000 new product codes per week. The company uses the SYSPRO ERP system for its operations and needed a solution to integrate data from the acquired company's system into its own.
The Challenge
Coricraft, a leading South African furniture manufacturer and retailer, faced a significant challenge following a recent acquisition. The company needed to integrate data between the acquired company's system and its own SYSPRO ERP system. The acquired company was generating between 500 and 1000 new product codes per week, necessitating an automated integration system. Additionally, Coricraft had to manage stock movement between its 70 warehouse and store locations, each with its own inventory. This was a labor-intensive manual operation that was time-consuming and inefficient.
The Solution
Coricraft turned to Flowgear, a cloud-based integration platform provider, to address its data integration and inventory management challenges. The company started by synchronizing inventory data between the SYSPRO system and the acquired company. It also used Flowgear to update stock movement between its multiple warehouses and stores. The advantage of the Flowgear platform was that Coricraft could start in one area without incurring high costs and expand it later. The use of Flowgear has significantly reduced the time taken for tasks that were previously done manually, from hours to minutes and in some cases, from days to minutes.
Operational Impact
  • The use of Flowgear has significantly improved the efficiency of Coricraft's inventory-related activities and streamlined operations between systems. The company has been able to reduce manual operations, saving time and resources. The automation of data integration has also allowed Coricraft to keep its inventory updated across multiple locations, ensuring accurate and timely information. The success of the initial integration has led Coricraft to consider expanding the use of Flowgear to improve integration between retail and manufacturing operations.
Quantitative Benefit
  • Reduced time taken for inventory-related tasks from hours to minutes
  • Reduced time taken for certain tasks from days to minutes
  • Saved costs on hiring additional staff
