On September 7, the Syspro Group, a privately held Worldwide provider of enterprise software for small to medium enterprises (SMEs), with its US headquarters in Costa Mesa, CA (www.sysprousa.com), was named a recipient of the START Magazine Vision Technology & Business Award for 2001 in the Manufacturing ($50 million to $200 million) category. In naming Syspro Group as the winner of the START Vision Award, the judges expressed admiration for the company's recent development of the Material Yield System, a software solution that enables manufacturers and distributors to maximize the use of scraps.
This Part One of a two-part note on Syspro. This part details recent developments. Part Two discusses the Market Impact and makes User Recommendations.
On July 30, Syspro announced the general release of a new module designed to fill the specific needs of manufacturers and distributors that rely on the cutting of shapes and pieces from standard size materials, e.g., sheets, tubes and rods, as part of the manufacturing process. Specifically, the new Material Yield System is targeted at the Plastics, Steel, Rubber, Paper and Lumber industries that need to maximize yields, minimize waste and, where possible, return remnants to inventory.
The new Material Yield System reportedly accommodates a seamless integrated workflow to satisfy a series of common requirements that include customer specific dimensional requirements, automatic yield calculations from full sheets and stock remnants, and the return of scraps to inventory with the automatic creation of new part numbers and pricing. Moreover, the new module will attempt to fill custom orders from existing inventory, another branch's inventory, the purchasing of material from a vendor, or a combination of each.
These latest awards are the culmination of a year, which to date, has seen the Syspro Group honored by numerous publications and associations. This should be no surprise given the company's rather busy product enhancements' activity in recent times.
On August 21, Syspro announced a new release of its flagship IMPACT Encore Enterprise software. Version 5.1, which supersedes IMPACT Encore Version 5.0, offers expanded system functionality, new e-business-centric capabilities and added support for multi-site facilities with a new module and numerous enhancements to existing modules. The new module encompasses Engineering Change Control. Enhancements include Goods in Transit and Blanket Purchase Orders functionalities.
IMPACT Encore 5.1 also features other numerous module enhancements. For example, General Ledger financial reports can now be published as extensible markup language (XML) documents for viewing on the Internet or an intranet. The documents have drill down capability from the general ledger codes to the source documents as well as full report editing and journal posting capabilities. IMPACT Encore 5.1 stores archived sales orders and work orders as XML documents which can be recreated as HTML pages using a Web browser. The archived data is accessible using any XML-aware tool. Archiving in this manner allows the user to store files off-line for security or practical reasons. Archived data can also be easily retrieved for the purpose of creating new items, such as a new work order.
Business-to-business (B2B) trading has been enhanced with the optional use of XML documents with published schemas for transferring purchase orders and sales orders. IMPACT Encore Version 5.1, available since September 15, is being offered in two versions, the Microsoft SQL Version and a C-ISAM version.
