Problem:

Hayes Specialties Corporation
Novelty products importer and distributor

Problem:
The company missed revenue opportunities as a result of inaccurate pricing of imported products.
Cause:
The Company’s existing ERP system lacked an accurate container management system; average landed costs were calculated incorrectly and import related fees were not properly assessed across the full range of products. Specific challenges included:
- Used complex spreadsheets to track import containers
- Unable to calculate an accurate average landed cost for most shipments
- Receiving a container by individual PO could take an entire day
SourceWare Solution:
The container management module in SourceWare ERP system allowed Hayes to automate the import container processing from multiple suppliers, and accurately track duties, tariffs, and import fees. The module, including a vessel tracking functionality, retains complete shipment data and import documents.

Problem:
Regularly-occurring errors in customer order processing negatively affected bottom-line revenue.
Cause:
A wireless warehouse management module within SourceWare’s ERP system significantly reduced picking errors, increased customer order accuracy, and improved process efficiencies and employee productivity to support bottom-line revenue growth.
SourceWare Solution:
Implementing our wireless warehouse management system eliminated the picking errors resulting in improved customer service. Last Christmas season, Classic did not have to hire any temporary staff while shipping more boxes than the previous season.
“The new system has drastically reduced the manual workload for our staff. Our staff has estimated that the productivity gains from our improved picking and receiving is around 40%.”
