Business Challenges

The main hurdle is managing the base fibre and optimizing raw material handling for production. Introducing new products presents challenges that involve extensive market research and development. Moreover, making pattern changes to existing products is a complex process that needs careful planning and coordination.

On-demand production scheduling adds complexity, requiring efficient resource allocation and real-time management of customer demands. Raw materials planning and handling are crucial challenges that require effective inventory management and procurement strategies. For a holistic perspective, an integrated view of finance is necessary to streamline financial processes and gain insights into business performance.

And finally, careful planning and execution are required for data migration from legacy applications to modern systems to ensure data integrity and continuity, while manual intervention in various processes impacts efficiency, leading to potential errors and delays.

Implementing a standardised ERP solution gives organisations a precise and consistent comprehension of their business operations, wherever they are. Furthermore, such a solution reduces the expenses associated with support and maintenance and enables businesses to identify targeted measures to enhance operational efficiency throughout.

Our Solution

The implementation of EPICOR 10 with comprehensive modules for Cable Production has proven instrumental in addressing various business challenges through:

The structured implementation, compliant with statutory requirements, involved the use of Epicor std. Data Migration Tool and Templates effectively migrated data from the Legacy system to Epicor ERP.
The ERP system handled all third-party managed operations in procurement and project execution, while also implementing business process harmonization to simplify operations under a single ERP platform.
Multiple sub-assemblies and materials issued to inventory simultaneously, generalised batch number system with barcode generation for multi-level job operations, and automated job orders for daily production from the sales order.

How an Engineering Procurement Construction Company overcame their challenge by implementing Epicor ERP

"RheinBrücke IT Consulting's technical expertise makes me feel invincible. CCT has a talented pool of internal IT resources but sometimes that's not enough. Working with RB has taken a lot of weight off our shoulders; both the sheer volume of what we can handle together as well as the high level of technical expertise they bring to the table have greatly advanced CCT's abilities to adapt and evolve with our expanding global market. Nithish and Rajagopol are easy to work with and always have great ideas on how to solve our technical and business process issues plus they're just nice guys."

"Congratulations to your team for successfully pulling off the “Automation of RMA” project using the “A-MAP Smart” mobile based application! The legacy system was a laborious and time-consuming activity of data entry of the hundreds of Inspection entries, from the numerous Inspection sheets generated on a daily basis from the field, matching the claims against the supplied Sales orders and line details, entering all the warranty test information including customer purchasing & return data, creating disposition against the relevant warehouses and summarizing all the data for transfer to the sales teams for actual settlement of claims vide relevant sales orders."

"Thank you for the continued good work on the ERP and Supply Chain project. Your Consulting, Technical, Functional and Project management expertise was evident and was very well appreciated by our staffs. I was also pleased with the flexible, easily approachable, transparent dealing with your team. Needless to mention I also appreciate how effectively you leverage the teaming with cross cultural teams with low cost geography for developmental resources while not compromising on the quality of deliverables to business. Keep up the good work."

"I had been using RheinBrücke team as my extended arm for sometime now and I have really come to appreciate their depth of technical and functional knowledge of the product and their commitment to our end customers needs. They react quickly to new challenges and are always there for me to rely on."

"We implemented Epicor ERP for one of our large Glass manufacturing facility in Middle East. Like any ERP implementations, even though the product was good, we faced initial hiccup and challenges during the implementation . This is where we came across the German based RheinBrücke IT consulting and took their support. They did a fantastic turnaround of the project. I enjoyed the transparent and efficient dealing with the company and came to appreciate their work. Now they have opened the Middle East operations and am positive they will do well due to their good service motto."

"We were very impressed with the way RheinBrücke carried out their work. From analysis to implementation and post-production support, their analysis was always detailed and complete. It was easily understood by users, so different system extension options could be evaluated with all relevant information."
