Glenn Allen, group operations manager at RYCO, said the solution would give the company the ability to manage a diverse range of products, as well as support a variety of product delivery and supply methods. Allen said the contract with Lawson follows RYCO’s decision to upgrade to a fully integrated, enterprise-wide information system capable of supporting future expansion and increasing business complexity across its global operations. “RYCO Hydraulics has a simple belief that better technology equals greater performance. This ethos applies right throughout our organisation and it’s one of the reasons we decided to select Lawson as our preferred technology partner after an extensive evaluation. We’re confident that this decision will give us an even greater edge over our competitors.” Allen said RYCO had purchased several add-on applications including Lawson M3 Sales and marketing automation, e-sales, business intelligence (including the business performance warehouse module), learning accelerator, demand planner, multisite planner and warehouse mobility. According to Lawson’s general manager and regional managing director of Asia Pacific, David Hope, the company’s “deep understanding of RYCO Hydraulics’ business compared to that of our competitors was key to this important and strategic win in the manufacturing and distribution sector. “Furthermore, our solution is a proven low risk option based on our QuickStep template approach, which is designed to make customers stronger in minimal time. The Lawson solution will provide RYCO Hydraulics with a platform for growth as it is an excellent fit for the company’s business needs.” Hope said implementation of the RYCO project will begin immediately with a phased approach to roll out. He said the new solution will be built on an IBM System i platform provided in conjunction with Synergy Plus, which will replace a legacy HP 3000/ix system. |
