Background
The company's products are recognized for their superior performance, durability and versatility. In today's challenging market, this is not enough. Sino delivers best in class solutions and excellent after-sale services that put them well ahead of their competitors. Sino is the only company in its industry in Vietnam that is ISO 9001:2008 certified by TUV to supply global warranty service to our partners.
Challenges
Sino has been growing at an average rate of 20% annually in the last 10 years. As the company grows, the volume of data increases exponentially. Operational efficiency and productivity is challenged. Discrete information from different applications worsened the situation. Information and management systems are under intense pressure to meet ISO standards and compliance. Sino management lacks timely and accurate views of overall business operation information.
Solution
Sino urgently needs to streamline data throughout its operation including sales, purchasing, production, and financial processes. A solution that will eliminate the enormous paperwork and trim the outdated management applications is what the company was looking for. On that note, the management decided that an integrated ERP system will be the answer.
The local Epicor partner-3S, introduced Epicor ERP (now known as Kinetic) to Sino. Although a formal tender process was not conducted, the company had reviewed both SAP and Epicor solutions by different service providers. Epicor ERP was an obvious choice for three key reasons: affordability, functionality, and local support. Sino's IT manager likes the Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) that Epicor is built on as it provides the flexibility, reliability, and scalability that fit Sino's requirements now and into the future.
Sino wished to apply the solution step-by-step to all its operation. The implementation of Epicor ERP took more than 12 months. The reporting system required a lot of localization to comply with Vietnamese accounting standards. "With the excellent support from Epicor, our systems are now stable, making our day to day tasks more efficient and productive." according to Mr. Nguyen. The modules implemented include Sales Management, Financial Management, Material Management, and Production Management.
Benefits
Sino has reduced the enormous paperwork and repetitive data input after the implementation of Epicor ERP. Management information is now real time, online, and integrated across all departments. Sino management is able to have a clear view of the company's performance for control and critical decision making. Reports are not just accurate and reliable, they are also timely. Thanks to Epicor ERP new staff members can now easily catch up with the processes and perform their tasks accurately and productively.
