AJ Wells’ Expanding Business Demonstrates Syspro ERP Excellence

Customer Profile

Established in 1972, AJ Wells is a privately-owned, family-run British engineering company that specializes in the manufacture and installation of signage, cladding and vitreous enamel products. The company also designs and manufactures wood burning stoves and accessories. With more than 100 employees, AJ Wells operates from a factory of 50,000 square feet on the Isle of Wight.

With its Syspro solution, AJ Wells benefits from access to accurate, up-to-date information in real time. The system manages the full manufacturing cycle, from forecasting to works orders, purchase orders and putting parts into stock. After manufacturing, the finished products are warehoused through Syspro and AJ Wells’ salespeople in the UK and France can see available stock instantly.

The fully integrated Syspro modules enable a seamless link between Manufacturing and CRM, and AJ Wells is able to ringfence common parts by creating a virtual warehouse. This ensures sufficient parts and spares for production. The Spare Parts Department has a clear view of what is available for sale, while the remaining product parts remain on call for manufacturing.

Customer Extension:

Since implementing Syspro, AJ Wells has benefited from access to any information it needs to tap into, at any given time, using the Manufacturing, Accounting and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) modules.

Syspro ERP is crucial to the AJ Wells’ Charnwood stoves manufacturing process. The system manages the full cycle of manufacturing. Company personnel enter a planned forecast into the system and this is translated into Works Orders. This calls up all the parts needed and links to Purchase Orders for suppliers. The Syspro solution pulls all the data together and puts the parts into stock. Following manufacturing, finished products are warehoused using the system and the Sales Departments in the UK and Frace are to see instantly available stock.

This tight integration between departments is extremely important, particularly with overseas offices linking into the UK HQ. Moreover, keeping a tight rein on the accounts department is easy as the system is finely tuned to generate and manage all accounting functions. Every stage of AJ Wells’ production and administration is reflected within the system.
