In 2005, AJ Wells & Sons implemented Syspro Manufacturing ERP to support its UK manufacturing operations and expanding export markets.

The Syspro Manufacturing ERP implementation encompasses the full suite of Manufacturing modules, including Bill of Materials, Inventory, Sales, Purchasing, Works Orders and General Ledger, and AJ Wells subsequently upgraded within the SYSPRO product family to SYSPRO 8. Configuration emphasized production to order processes and tighter order to production linking, with SYSPRO s manufacturing capabilities used to tie sales orders directly into shop floor works order flows.
AJ Wells integrated Syspro Manufacturing ERP with ZAP Data Hub data warehouse automation software to create a single source of truth, the integration feeding Business Intelligence tools and enabling model refresh several times per day. The integration architecture positioned SYSPRO 8 as the operational system of record, ZAP as the automated ETL and warehouse layer, and BI tools for reporting and trend analysis, supporting finance and operations teams across the UK and the company s operations and distribution footprint that includes Australia, the US, Ireland and a distributor in South Africa while maintaining a significant export market in France.
Governance and process work centered on consolidating data into a trusted reporting layer and automating daily and month end workflows, with further plans to extend SYSPRO s web user interface and mobile ERP to the shop floor and to integrate time and attendance data against jobs. Outcomes reported include consistent, timely and easily accessible data, improved reporting and insights, and actionable production and forecasting information that supported operational decisions during the Covid-19 disruption.
