Restonic Improves Operational Efficiency by 50% with SYSPRO 8

Company Profile

Restonic South Africa is a member of KAP Integrated Bedding, a JSE-listed diversified industrial group consisting of industrial, chemical and logistics businesses. Established in 1938, Restonic is now a leader in manufacturing quality mattresses in Africa.

The Business Challenge

Restonic is experiencing considerable expansion across its business and needed to upgrade its ERP solution to keep pace with that growth.

The Solution

A long-term SYSPRO user, Restonic opted to upgrade to SYSPRO 8 to take advantage of the new features it offers.

The Outcome

The upgrade to SYSPRO 8 delivered a host of benefits, including enhanced operational efficiency, scalability, and “choice and flexibility around the cloud deployment option that best suits our needs,” Herman says. From a customer-centricity perspective, SYSPRO 8 has delivered ease of use as well as an engaging user experience, enabling Restonic to improve the service it offers to customers.

Optimizing opportunities to digitalize the business

Restonic was seeking opportunities to further digitalize its business and improve overall operational efficiency. Morag Herman, Restonic’s IT Manager, says: “Our business consists of seven different companies across the manufacturing and recycling sectors, and it is growing. We needed to upgrade our ERP solution to meet those requirements.”

After running SYSPRO for 10 years, Restonic’s management team queried the feasibility of moving to a competitive product. However, after attending the launch of SYSPRO 8 and seeing the ease of use and ability to consolidate onto a single platform, the decision was made to upgrade to the new version.

“We adopted a phased-in approach to allow our staff to complete training and be comfortable with the solution’s new capabilities,” Herman says.

Realizing quantifiable business benefits

Thanks to SYSPRO, Restonic has enhanced its operational efficiency to drive better business outcomes. For example, SYSPRO 8 offers web functionality that enables users to be up and running from anywhere and at any time. “With this universal access we can choose the device that best meets the task at hand, whether it’s in the office, on the shop floor, or on the move,” Herman says. “This allowed us to speed up transactions, processing times, and inventory sales orders.

“With SYSPRO 8, we halved the time taken to process invoices at month-end, improving operational efficiency by 50%.”

In addition, the agility and scalability delivered by SYSPRO 8 have enabled Restonic to consolidate its business requirements on a single platform. Multiple sites, including the company’s Namibia-based office data, have been incorporated on the same platform.

“We also have choice and flexibility around the cloud deployment option that best suits our needs,” Herman says.
