ESPA Connector Technology improves operations using SYSPRO

ESPA Connector Technology boosts accuracy and efficiency with SYSPRO 8

Customer Profile

ESPA Connector Technology manufactures and distributes cable terminals, custom stampings, connectors and wire accessories. The company has created specialized product applications across the medical, mining, telecom, automotive, domestic and electronics industries.

The Business Challenge

ESPA’s existing business management software was no longer meeting its needs, particularly in the areas of invoicing, stock control, manufacturing, costing and finished goods. Stock control was insufficient and there was a tendency for stock to double when goods were received from subcontractors.

The Outcome

With the implementation of SYSPRO 8, ESPA has seen its entire operation improve across all processes from the system to the production floor, Bill of Materials, the work center, finished goods and subcontractors.

Meeting needs without modifying processes

ESPA selected SYSPRO 8 for its ability to meet all the company’s needs without requiring modifications to business processes.

Contributing factors included more accurate data, reduced error levels and the extensive further benefits made possible by a fully integrated ERP solution.

Enhanced accuracy, reduced errors

Prior to implementing SYSPRO, any reporting that was needed had to be done in Excel and then taken through to the software package, increasing the risk of inaccuracies and human error. With SYSPRO, however, all data is driven by the system.

For now, Cortez and Nothnagel are satisfied that SYSPRO is being used in accordance with the company’s requirements.
“It’s still fairly new, so as we go forward we will look at other areas where SYSPRO can deliver business benefits. These are likely to include Landed Cost Tracking, Asset Register Management and Material Requirements Planning,” Cortez says.

“With SYSPRO, what you put in is what you get out. Our accuracy has improved by at least 80%.”
