Aktion Associates’ customer Puerto Rico Supplies Group has gone live with an upgraded version of Infor Distribution Enterprise i (A+) and two additional modules, Optio and MaxRecall. In this video, discover how PRSG reached their goals of increased efficiency and higher productivity with Infor Distribution Enterprise i (A+).
With the broad range of products that Puerto Rico Supplies Group (PRSG) distributes- groceries, snacks, cigarettes, personal care products, fragrances-to every outlet including supermarkets, department stores, beauty outlets, pharmacies, and convenience stores, the company decided to take advantage of leading technology to better manage its growing list of merchandise.
With the assistance from Aktion Associates, PRSG has upgraded to a new version of Infor Distribution Enterprise i (A+) and 2 more modules Optio and MaxRecall.
Infor Distribution Enterprise i (A+) has helped Puerto Rico Supplies to:
· Increase warehouse picker productivity by 85% for dry goods and 44% for refrigerated goods.
· Increase warehouse receiving productivity by 62% for refrigerated items and 57% for dry goods.
· Boost gross revenues by 10% over one year.
· Improve on-time/in-full deliveries by 23%.
· Reduce errors through automated processes.
· Easily integrate new lines of business while consolidating warehouses.
With Optio, Puerto Rico Supplies can direct invoices and purchase orders through email without printing them- meaning big paper cost savings.
MaxRecall enables the company to create and scan images of documents and store them in digital format for future reference within A+.
There are fewer errors because some processes are now automated, such as invoicing, and they use the offline order entry feature in A+. Many orders from customers are incorporated through EDI, and sales force uses the mobile solution that integrates with A+, reducing errors related to manual order entry.
Infor Distribution Enterprise i (A+) provided a very easy integration with third-party products.
"We maintain several productivity measurements in our warehouses," Carlos Falcon, IT director at PRSG claims, "and compared with our January-to-March base period, every month our key performance indicators show productivity increases and improved quality of our service. Clearly our investment in Infor products has helped us a lot."
"We've also seen our sales increase," Ana Perez , marketing director at PRSG adds. "We were consolidating operations while also integrating new lines of businesses that we acquired into our warehouses, adding another level of complexity. Gross revenues have increased about 10% this year."
“PRSG was committed to modernizing their IT infrastructure and improve their business processes,” said Aktion Vice President Paul Bachran. “These solutions will deliver significant value and a high return on investment for the company.”
