SYSPRO Helps TrafFix Achieve Digital Transformation of Operations

TrafFix conducted a full business process review which helped obtain buy-in from staff. Before upgrading to SYSPRO 8, the company installed a test server to mitigate risk. It also conducted extensive due diligence and change management to ensure employees were ready for the change.

The TrafFix management team viewed SYSPRO as a toolbox to assist in achieving its digital transformation objectives. A joint TrafFix/SYSPRO team implemented various proactive notifications which provide bite-sized chunks of information exactly when they are needed, such as warnings for possible duplicate orders, possible errors in order entry and changes in lead times.

SYSPRO recommended that TrafFix move from an open pricing structure to a system-managed pricing structure to achieve more accurate sales orders. As a result, orders are more reliable and accurate, and checks and balances are in place to obtain accurate real-time average costing.

TrafFix has already implemented fully automated robot arms which take care of jobs that could be dangerous for employees, and carry out those tasks in a reputable and scalable manner. A future goal is to integrate those machines directly into SYSPRO so that operators don’t have to post transactions. Instead, the machines will communicate and post transactions as products are manufactured, to fully automate each loop.
