Key Requirement
The key requirement for Roth Czech's successful operation on the market is to combine dynamic trade with precise production so that customers receive the selected goods in highest quality and as soon as possible. Customers can buy products both in a wide distribution network of brick-and-mortar stores and hobby markets and directly via webshops.
The distribution network of B2B business partners requires precise long-term planning. B2C webshops, on the other hand, bring interesting business opportunities with high added value, but also demands for speed and flexibility of production.
The information system connects sales channels with planning, production and purchasing. Production therefore placed two important demands on it. Firstly, it is to secure the material that needs to be imported, and therefore ordered, with longer lead times. The second requirement was to prepare the order technology intuitively and quickly. Roth Czech ships over 200 different products per day, so quick preparation of production data is a must.
Solutions
Roth Czech has been a user of the Infor VISUAL enterprise information system since 2004. Infor covers all the company's main processes from sales order through production to shipping.
The deployment was determined by its unique features in the area of TPV preparation and production order processing. As the company grew and developed, the demands on the enterprise system gradually increased. In the area of business process automation, additional features such as B2C integration to e-shops and B2B communication with business partners were implemented.
The introduction of the use of barcodes in production and dispatch was important to handle the increase in orders without increasing the labour involved in processing them.
Result
A key requirement of the project - ensuring that materials need to be ordered and imported far in advance - is now handled in Infor VISUAL by advanced material planning and forecasting. The logistics of semi-finished and finished products, fully automated using barcodes, facilitates dispatch and transfers between production sites.
All business and production transactions are reflected online in Infor VISUAL in the accounting system, so that Roth Czech management has up-to-date economic data necessary for company management at all times. Seyfor has also helped optimize B2C communication to individual e-shops in terms of automating payment generation and B2B communication with a focus on automatic order generation with specific product configuration.
The solution for visualizing the shipment of the special VINATA shower range using EAN barcodes ensures that the delivery includes all the necessary packaging and is complete. This prevents human errors during order picking and makes the warehouse staff's job much easier.
