Mthembu saves costs, boosts inventory management with SYSPRO
Customer Profile
Mthembu Tissue Converting manufactures a broad range of tissue products, including toilet paper, tissues, paper towels, paper wipes and serviettes. The company converts around 1500 tons of pulp a month and supplies the retail, general trade and away-from-home markets.
The Business Challenge
Mthembu’s existing system, which incorporated multiple manual processes, was no longer meeting its needs in vital areas of the business such as inventory management, production scheduling, Work-in-Progress and finished goods. The company realized that it needed a fully integrated ERP solution to tighten controls, increase accuracy and enhance efficiencies.
The Solution
After a thorough market evaluation, Mthembu Tissue Converting selected SYSPRO 8 for its powerful features and user friendliness as well as its ability to both meet the company’s specific business requirements and provide an end-to-end solution.
The Outcome
With the implementation of SYSPRO 8, Mthembu has significantly improved its inventory management, production scheduling and forward planning. The company is now able to ensure that it neither overstocks nor runs out of material needed for production.
“SYSPRO is fundamental to the productivity and efficiency of our business. Compared to the benefits we’ve already achieved with SYSPRO, the initial investment and ongoing license fee are negligible costs.”
– Sanele Shabane, Finance Manager, Mthembu Tissue Converting.
