Brown-Forman implemented SAP® 3.1H as its ERP package with an interface to its legacy WMS. This external WMS, however, did not allow Brown-Forman to take advantage of SAP's full capabilities. In addition, 3.1H lacked native RF, which meant that Brown-Forman would have needed middleware to interface with its RF hardware - an upgrade that would have added $1 million to the project.
Read this paper to learn how Brown-Forman brought in Catalyst to evaluate their upgrade of its ERP to SAP 4.6C, which included a new warehouse management module. They concurred that SAP now had the required WM functionality, and Brown-Forman selected Catalyst to oversee all customizations of the SAP console data collection transactions.
Read this case study to learn how by leveraging Catalyst’s expertise in SAP R/3 systems integration and remote data collection using SAP console, Brown-Forman was able to:
- Increase shipping throughput by 50%
- Improve space utilization by 50%
- Decrease shipping errors by 40%
- Improve inventory accuracy and stock rotation
- Improve visibility into customer orders
