Swindon electronics and power products firm Pulse Power & Measurement (PPM) has selected a fully integrated SYSPRO manufacturing and distribution system from Manchester-based K3 Business Technology Group (K3).

The new SYSPRO solution will replace a number of disparate systems, bringing seamless information management across its design and manufacturing and distribution businesses. PPM hopes with better visibility across both divisions, the system will improve customer focus and customer service.

With a grant from the Southwest Manufacturing Advisory Service, PPM was able to engage the independent consultancy service FreeConsult to help with researching and selecting an appropriate solution.

“John Haslam of FreeConsult spent a week with us, getting to know how we worked and what we needed to achieve. Armed with this knowledge he was able to draw up a specification for the system. This was put out to tender, with K3 being one of four suppliers. We settled on SYSPRO as it is clearly designed for design and manufacturing companies and it provides more features and functionality off-the-shelf than the competitors,” says Neil Seager.

“With SYSPRO we will have fast access to important information across both sides of our business and this will also benefit our customers through our improved focus and service” Neil Seager, Managing Director, PPM.
