Customer Profile
Founded in 1955, B&R Enclosures has become Australia’s largest manufacturer and designer of electrical enclosures, switchboard building systems, server racks and cabinets. With more than 300 employees, the company operates manufacturing facilities in Brisbane, Sydney, Adelaide and Suzhou, China. B&R also maintains 9 sales and warehousing locations nationally as well as a growing international network of distribution partners. B&R sells across Australia and into markets in south-east Asia, New Zealand and the Middle East.
Their Business Challenge
B&R’s 20-year-old enterprise resource planning (ERP) software was no longer able to support the company’s growth and international expansion plans. The implementation of a new, fully integrated ERP solution had become a priority.
The Solution
After a thorough evaluation of ERP offerings on the market, B&R Enclosures selected SYSPRO 7 based on its powerful features and flexibility. A contributing factor was SYSPRO’s track record as a dependable ERP provider with a culture of cultivating long-lasting partnerships with its customers.
The Outcome
By implementing and fully integrating SYSPRO’s financial, distribution and manufacturing modules, B&R gained real-time visibility across the group as well as access to current, real-time financial data. Large volumes of month-end journal entries were eliminated, significantly reducing the time required to produce month-end financial reports.
