Challenge
The client is an established local company with a vast food distribution network. As the company expanded regionally, it had to manually input voluminous data from ordering lists that came in various formats from numerous distributors into its Sage 300 ERP system. This manual, time-consuming process presented a high risk of human errors and data loss, requiring multiple checks before packaging and delivery that wasted more man-hours. To address these challenges, the client turned to RSM Stone Forest IT (SFIT) for a solution that would link Sage 300 directly to distributors’ systems.
Solution
After consulting the client and distributors, SFIT identified various ordering list formats, such as CSV, XML or Excel spreadsheets, and proposed a customised utility for Sage 300 with the following features:
- Ability to interpret the different formats and seamlessly import ordering lists’ data
into Sage 300
- Validation checks to identify issues such as duplicate sales orders
