Benefits

Through it’s investment in SYSPRO ERP from K3, Roberts Mart & Co. are anticipating a wide range of benefits.

An important feature that is delivering immediate results is the firm’s take up of K3|dataswitch. Simple, easy to install and a low cost utility program, K3|dataswitch is a quick method of updating stock-keeping unit (SKU) information

K3|dataswitch is a quick method of updating stock-keeping unit (SKU) information. K3|dataswitch exports data from SYSPRO ERP into Microsoft Excel spreadsheets and enables users to benefit from easy updating, without having to go into several thousand individual records held in the ERP system.

Claire Fitzsimmons, Customer Services Manager at Roberts Smart said “We manage a very large amount of information in terms of SKU codes for finished goods and raw materials. The Data Import Utility provides a simple, user-friendly method of keeping the information up to date. It allows me to also delete data using the spreadsheets. This provides an immediate update to the records in SYSPRO once it is imported back into the system. Being able to complete the various updates on a spreadsheet in this way is an important time-saving benefit.”
