Customer Profile

Since its inception in 1957, Excelta Corporation has specialized in the design and manufacture of precision hand tools for the electronics, medical devices, aerospace and defense industries. The company’s product offering has evolved from simple chain nose pliers and tweezers to more than 1,200 items.

Their Business Challenge

Excelta’s previous ERP solution lacked robust forecasting capabilities, and sales projections were calculated manually using historical averages rather than through using an automated system.

The Solution

Recognizing that its legacy ERP system was no longer capable of supporting its intricate production processes and reporting requirements, Excelta made the strategic decision to implement SYSPRO 8. The company aimed to enhance its operational efficiency, minimize errors, and boost productivity by leveraging the software’s robust reporting functionalities.

The Outcome

Through automation, SYSPRO has enabled Excelta to achieve efficiency, enhance supplier relationships and make informed decisions, resulting in enhanced inventory management, minimized stockouts, and reduced holding costs.

“Since moving to SYSPRO, we have made continual progress. Inventory and supply chain management are crucial, and SYSPRO has been instrumental in delivering significant benefits in these areas. It’s a well-rounded business solution.”
– Daniel Graef, IT & Purchasing Manager, Excelta.

SYSPRO 8 Benefits to Customer

  • Enhanced operational efficiency and productivity
  • Reduced errors through automation
  • Improved supplier relationships
  • Ability to make informed decisions, leading to enhanced inventory management, minimized stockouts and reduced holding costs
  • Enriched capabilities of SYSPRO’s web user interface
  • Advanced accounting efficiencies

With a steady focus on automation, Excelta counts on SYSPRO to help drive efficiencies and reduce costs across its entire organization. With approximately 200 high-priority sub-parts demanding regular attention, the company has found SYSPRO’s Inventory Forecasting module highly effective in its operations. This includes the Forecast Accuracy Review report, which enables Excelta to strike a balance between production and inventory levels.

By producing the right amount of goods at the right time, Excelta can minimize excess inventory costs and avoid stockouts, resulting in improved operational efficiency, better cash flow, and enhanced customer satisfaction.

To enhance warehouse management capabilities, especially in terms of manufacturing data collection, Excelta adopted SYSPRO’s Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM) solution. It also implemented Nomad eCommerce, a SYSPRO regional ISV solution. The integration allows for real-time inventory synchronization between the eCommerce platform and SYSPRO.

Excelta is committed to staying current on SYSPRO product releases to benefit from the enhanced capabilities of SYSPRO’s web UI, advanced accounting efficiencies, and continual performance improvement across the organization.

“SYSPRO MOM is a great module to accurately track labor time, schedule our 24 work centers, and analyze performance. We are currently tracking both equipment and employee time to be able to keep operations informed with up-to-date information.”
– Daniel Graef, IT & Purchasing Manager, Excelta.

“One of the biggest benefits of eCommerce integration is having accurate inventory live within the storefront, providing our customers with self-service capabilities. This frees up our sales team to focus on more strategic ways to support our customers.”
– Daniel Graef, IT & Purchasing Manager, Excelta.

“The ability to customize and create my own custom panes directly from the screens, where I can modify data instantly, has been a game-changer. I’m excited about the application development capabilities and role-based dashboards in the latest release of SYSPRO 8.”
– Daniel Graef, IT & Purchasing Manager, Excelta.
