In 2003, Clover implemented IBM AS/400 Accounts Payable as its centralized AP Automation application. The IBM AS/400 Accounts Payable installation was positioned to support core finance operations across Clover's Distribution, Finance, Stores and Production administrative functions in South Africa.
The implementation focused on accounts payable processing capabilities including invoice capture and data entry, invoice printing and sorting for branch and driver dispatch workflows, stamping and filing of paid invoices, and capturing AP transactions into the AS/400 accounts view. Configuration and operational use included routine tasks such as month end reporting, archiving of scanned documents, and capture of credit applications and claims into the document repository workflow.
Operational integrations were established between the AS/400 Accounts Payable environment and adjacent operational systems referenced by staff, including the ERPLX distribution view for order and distribution records, the DRM Daily Route Manager and eRMS Route Management system for driver and route reconciliation, the Best time system for employee hours feeds, and Metro File DataStor as the document storage and retrieval service. These integrations enabled invoice and driver information exchanges, routing of invoices to finance for payment, and linkage of time and payroll related inputs to AP processing.
Governance and daily workflow around the IBM AS/400 Accounts Payable system were operated through administrative and finance roles documented in Clover job functions. Staff responsibilities included invoice preparation, scanning preparation and reconciliation, printing and distribution of invoices to branches and drivers, assisting with driver journals, and supporting cash office and payroll distribution activities, with established procedures for filing, approvals and document archival.

In 2017 Clover implemented HxGN EAM (Ex. Infor EAM) as its Enterprise Asset Management platform to support maintenance and reliability functions across its consumer packaged goods operations. The deployment focused on manufacturing facilities in Johannesburg Gauteng and included a formal roll out plan to extend production systems to all branches by the end of 2020, with a specific emphasis on automating operator input and KPI visualization at each factory.
The implementation established a centralized asset register, maintenance planning and work order management to govern preventive and corrective maintenance workflows. Functional capabilities configured included preventive maintenance scheduling, work order lifecycle management, spare parts inventory control, operator data capture to support OEE measurement, and project portfolio management for production capital projects. Integrations connected HxGN EAM into production systems and INFOR where noted, and KPI visualization layers were instrumented to surface Plan Fill Rate and equipment efficiency metrics to head office and factory technical managers. Governance and process changes covered compilation of continuous improvement strategic documents, standardization of TPM Lean and QMS practices, training materials and training of head office and factory personnel, and an ongoing productivity system maintained under agreed principles and policies, with explicit objectives to improve Plan Fill Rate, equipment efficiencies, company sustainability and to keep month on month and year to date fixed cost expenses for production facilities below budget.
