Tuapeka Gold Print chooses SYSPRO for an enhanced ERP solution
New Zealand’s largest supplier of printed pens and promotional products, Tuapeka Gold Print (TGP), has selected SYSPRO Software as its new company-wide ERP system to underpin rapid growth plans...
“We envisage TGP doubling production and growing substantially over the medium to long term,” said director and joint-owner of TGP, Brad Houghton.
“To support this growth, TGP reviewed its business systems with the aim of finding a solution that would streamline production and back office processes,” he said.
TGP says it chose SYSPRO based on three key attributes:
- Flexibility to accommodate new processes – The company operates in a constantly changing environment and a dynamic industry. In addition to personalised pens, the company also sells key rings, golf balls and accessories, fridge magnets, desk items, calculators, and hundreds of other products for the promotional advertising industry. SYSPRO was chosen for its capacity to adapt to new processes with minimal effort.
- High degree of autonomy – TGP is based in the remotely located, small town of Lawrence where system support can be difficult to find. The company sought a solution that allowed it to use internal staff to setup and maintain the system as far as possible. SYSPRO showed examples of customers who were able to run their systems in-house with minimal support from external consultants.
- Potential for growth – As the company is envisaged to grow substantially and rapidly over the next few years, the system not only had to be scalable, but allow future integration with third-party and proprietary applications. Built on Microsoft .Net architecture, SYSPRO demonstrated its ability to integrate with third party solutions without compromising the upgrade path of SYSPRO.
“Speed and quality of the SYSPRO implementation will be of the essence. A successful ERP system integration will enable us to focus on business opportunities,” Houghton said. Implementation of the system has commenced and is expected to go live by the first half of 2009.
Shaun Butler, general manager – Asia Pacific of SYSPRO Software said, "We are very excited to provide our ERP solution to this leading promotional products supplier, TGP. Their selection process shows the key strengths of SYSPRO – its depth of standard functionality built on 30 years of product development, a technology platform allowing future growth and scalability plus a fast return of investment via our implementation methodology".
"We look forward to working with TGP to rapidly increase their return on investment by enabling their business with superior technology," he said.
