SYSPRO has announced that it has added two new companies as official SYSPRO Independent Software Vendor (ISV) referral partners for the EMEA region, bringing additional functionality to the SYSPRO ERP platform.
Geo Rep, a South African-based provider of field sales management software, and Cranswick, which is focused on the intelligent warehouse space, join the SYSPRO EMEA ISV referral programme, bringing with them a host of industry experience to help deliver superior planning and implementation processes for SYSPRO customers.
Trusted independent vendors
From time to time, manufacturers will need to augment or supplement their ERP solution with a specialist, best-of-breed application. Companies will look for these third-party applications because of a competitive advantage process, compliance, or regulatory requirement. Because of this, SYSPRO has an Independent Software Vendor (ISV) Programme to help provide customers with their selection process.
SYSPRO partners with industry leaders in niche offerings to provide best-of-breed offerings to its customers. By partnering with industry leaders, SYSPRO can offer cost-effective solutions to its customers, providing integrated solutions in a seamless and efficient system.
Selecting the right Independent Software Provider is no small matter – choosing the right partner ensures that customers have solutions that enable or enhance their company’s use of its ERP system, unlocking productivity and cost-effective ways of work.
Making the most of mobile
While laptops and tablets brought manufacturing teams the capability to work remotely, mobile devices now offer the opportunity to leverage ERP applications and harness the power of business insights on the go.
Modern ERP systems with mobile tools enable seamless access to full system functionality via mobile devices. This provides multiple benefits for a workforce operating at customer premises, on factory floors, or across various supply chain touchpoints. Mobile ERP is an efficient tool for technicians and sales teams, granting access to critical customer and product information regardless of location.
Geo Rep is a South African-based provider of field sales management software, headquartered in Century City, Cape Town. Its all-in-one mobile app helps streamline field operations through route optimization, real-time GPS tracking, digital timesheets, call logging, CRM integration, automated reporting, and AI-based insights, all with full offline capability.
Serving industries from FMCG to field services, Geo Rep aims to reduce administrative overhead, boost team productivity, and enhance customer service by connecting reps in the field with managers in real time.
“We are delighted to be partnering with SYSPRO in its ISV programme. Geo Rep delivers the crucial link between a company’s sales force and their customers. We’re proud to consider ourselves a market leader in this field, and we look forward to helping SYSPRO customers to use our technology to optimise their sales processes, boost productivity, and increase revenue,” says Grant St Clair, CEO, Geo Rep.
Warehouse management solutions is a growing market
Demand for warehouse management solutions (WMS) is extensive, with some solutions costing in excess of $25 million a year, a tangible demonstration of their value and importance in the manufacturing industry. With the systems managing everything from improved real-time inventory tracking and stock management to optimised storage and faster and more accurate order fulfilment, WMS is crucial when it comes to optimising warehouse operations, improving inventory accuracy and enhancing supply chain efficiency.
Cranswick has focused on the intelligent warehouse space, with its flagship product, Cranswick WMS, designed to be both highly configurable and robust enough for complex warehouse environments. The solution includes not just the software, but all key components for successful implementation – such as wireless networking, barcode printing and scanning (including voice solutions), and deep SYSPRO integration, offering a complete, efficient, and scalable SYSPRO WMS solution.
“Our solutions are simple enough to tailor for any variety of configurations, but yet sturdy enough to enforce the exacting rules often required by busy and complex warehousing environments. It’s this functionality that we are excited to share with SYSPRO customers to enable their intelligent warehouse,” says Adrian Cranswick, CEO.
“At SYSPRO, we pride ourselves on working together with our Partners to offer industry specialization and innovative solutions to manufacturing and distribution customers. It gives me great pleasure to welcome these two highly reputable and sought-after companies into the SYSPRO ISV partner referral network. These two key partnerships with Geo Rep and Cranswick offer significant benefits to our customers, delivering a seamless operating experience within SYSPRO ERP systems,” says Zaren Ramlugan, Specialist Solutions Manager at SYSPRO Africa.
