Their Business Challenge

It also covers all finance functions such as sales processing and invoicing, payables, receivables and cash management.

The Outcome

AF Gason has achieved a 100% improvement in its results and attributes much of this success to being able to use the information out of SYSPRO to enhance its decision-making capabilities.

AF Gason attributes the major payback on its investment to SYSPRO MOM and the ability to use shop floor recording and job recording effectively. The team can see down to the level of a particular operation, whether changes need to be made and exactly what they are. Full visibility into inventory has helped AF Gason understand where its cost sits and how much of a particular item needs to be held in stock.

The company uses SYSPRO information to trace its products throughout the supply chain, and that traceability is an important contributor to its ISO 9001 accreditation. It also uses traceability from a warranty perspective once the product is out in the marketplace. AF Gason can track back and see what batch it came from, where it came from in production, and trace other units that have been done through the same process. It’s essential to AF Gason’s ability to meet customer requirements.

From an overall business management perspective, AF Gason utilizes the information out of SYSPRO every day. It’s utilizing manufacturing, cost and sales information to better understand where the opportunities are within the business. SYSPRO enables AF Gason to manufacture better equipment and give the customer a better-quality product.

“SYSPRO MOM has opened our eyes to what we can do with the business. The data collection in terms of our ability to see whether we are working according to our standard times, and if the returns are meeting expectations, is top-notch.”
– Jason Yole, Production Managerr, AF Gason.

“The support we get from SYSPRO is unparalleled. We’ve had quirky little problems that they’ve sorted straightaway, and big problems that they’ve reported to the South African team, ensuring we received bug fixes. I couldn’t rate them any higher.”
– Leon Nash, Chief Financial Officer, AF Gason.

“SYSPRO is literally part of our family now. We continue to grow with it. Everyone uses it every day. We couldn’t do without it.”
– Jason Yole, Production Managerr, AF Gason.
