Sage ERP Gives Universal Paper and Plastics Competitive Edge

Universal Paper and Plastics was established in 1950 by the Sher family and over four generations has dedicated itself to the development of innovative everyday products, that satisfy the needs of the South African consumer market.

Universal Paper and Plastics needed an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system that was capable of integrating and automating its production and supply processes. The company opted to implement Sage ERP X3 because a comprehensive production management module was of the utmost importance. With this need in mind, Sage ERP X3 was customised to provide accurate real time information at the touch of a button that greatly improved the company’s forecasting capabilities as far as waste management, fixed asset management and stock control was concerned.

Once the decision was made to go with Sage ERP X3, a comprehensive situational analysis formed the basis of the draft that outlined the functional specifications and business processes that the client required. The conversion of data from the legacy system to Sage ERP X3 started early in the implementation cycle and focused on the implementation of a manufacturing solution that was completely customised to accommodate the needs of Universal Paper and Plastics. The result was an accurate real time overview of the production process, which has the potential to greatly contribute to a reduction in operating and overhead costs.
