挑战

Newman Technology faced significant challenges in managing its supply chain and production processes. The company relied heavily on manual methods, such as spreadsheets and paper purchase orders, which were cumbersome and time-consuming. These outdated processes hindered the company's ability to quickly adapt to customer order changes and accurately forecast demand. Additionally, inconsistent container label formats and quality made it difficult to manage processes from buyer to buyer. The manual methods also created issues with supplier payments, leading to delays and inaccuracies. Newman Technology realized the need for a modern solution to improve production accuracy, accountability, and communication with suppliers.

解决方案

To address its challenges, Newman Technology partnered with Revolution Group, a manufacturing consultancy, to implement the Plex Cloud ERP system. This fully integrated ERP solution connects and manages the entire manufacturing process, from materials orders to final product distribution. The implementation was carried out in a phased approach over 18 months, streamlining communications between Newman Technology and its suppliers. Plex Cloud ERP automated and accelerated processes, enabling alignment across functions within the company and with external partners. The system provided real-time, accurate inventory numbers, eliminated waste in accounting, and allowed the supply chain to react more quickly to changes in customer demand. The supply chain management functions of Plex Cloud ERP include electronic kanban, online releases, EDI, electronic invoices, and shipment notifications, enhancing supplier quality management and cross-company inventory traceability.
