Customer Profile
Established in South Africa in 1982, Moto Quip is a renowned name in motor vehicle accessories. With a recent expansion into home, leisure, and travel products, the company maintains a substantial turnover with only 25 permanent employees. Moto Quip’s commitment to innovation and efficiency led to the successful upgrade to SYSPRO 8, significantly enhancing their productivity and automation.
The Business Challenge
Moto Quip faced the challenge of modernizing their outdated SYSPRO 6 system while maintaining the high level of automation and integration with their customized add-on systems and subcontractors. The upgrade needed to be seamless to avoid disruptions in their highly automated processes.
The Solution
Normandy Computer Services, a SYSPRO channel partner, facilitated the upgrade from SYSPRO 6 to SYSPRO 8 over a single weekend. Despite the Covid-19 restrictions, the upgrade was executed smoothly, ensuring all automated systems and integrations were maintained and standardized for future upgrades.
The Outcome
Since implementing SYSPRO 8, Moto Quip has experienced a 20%-30% increase in productivity. The new system allows for faster invoice generation and improved data integration, reducing manual errors and enhancing overall efficiency. The company is now better equipped to handle large orders and complex processes.
“Our business involves large orders from major retailers. With SYSPRO 8, these invoices are generated in three minutes. It’s a must-have, particularly with so many organizations struggling to stay afloat during the pandemic.”
– Trish Pretorius – Internal Sales Manager, Moto Quip
