ERP provider SYSPRO has won a new contract with Pou Chen Corporation, a Taipei-based manufacturer of athletic shoes and apparel. Technologies International Inc. of Chino, Calif., a SYSPRO reseller, signed the deal and managed earlier deployments, which enabled the U.S. operations to cut excess inventory supplies by up to 20 percent in 12 months with 97 percent accuracy and an average of four days to close a financial month.
The new contract adds SYSPRO enterprise resource planning solutions at two more of Pou Chen's divisions: Pou Chen Mexico S.A., manufacturer of athletic footwear, and PC Baja S.A., a manufacturer of women's apparel for the U.S market. Both facilities are located in Tijuana.
The Mexican divisions will use SYSPRO ERP software to enhance manufacturing and distribution efficiencies and achieve tighter inventory controls with Asian suppliers, gain real-time insight into financials and speed month-end closings. Pro Link, PC Baja's purchasing arm based in Ontario, California, will also be utilizing SYSPRO. Pro Link does the purchasing of raw materials for PC Baja, buying the materials in the U.S. and shipping them onto Mexico.
