Dezzi Equipment Enhances Key Production and Costing Processes with SYSPRO
Customer Profile
Founded in 1973 by Desmond and Louise Gutziet, Dezzi Equipment manufactures top-quality earth-moving equipment. Its manufacturing facility in KwaZulu-Natal produces customized machinery to meet clients’ industry-specific requirements. With 20 Dezzi branches in South Africa and dealers across Africa, Dezzi also partners with international yellow metal machine brands Kato and CMI.
The Business Challenge
Dezzi Equipment’s existing business systems were not integrated, requiring manual input to provide the business with an enterprise view of operations. With the company’s expansion into SADC (South African Development Community) regions, the ability to minimize information silos was critical.
The Solution
Dezzi Equipment received funding for an integrated ERP solution from the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), a South African Government organization that contributes to industrial development. SYSPRO was selected for its manufacturing capabilities as well as its track record in automotive, distribution and manufacturing entities.
The Outcome
Dezzi Equipment has minimized the pre-existing information silos, implemented optimization solutions such as barcode scanning and enhanced both key production and costing processes.
“Being able to access real-time information from source documents has made our inventory process more efficient, and three-way inventory matching has added more control to the procurement processes.”
– Shane Gutzeit, Director, Dezzi Equipment.
