High Point Group upgrades its business processes with SunFish ERP

Jakarta, August 2009 – High Point Group - leading commercial office furniture manufacturer and distributor of wide range of office furnishing products in South East Asia with over 200 subsidiaries in Indonesia, 12 High-Point Centers in Jakarta and over 45 agents internationally, including Europe, Asia, and Middle East, South America, Australia and Africa – is currently upgrading its existing SunFish Supply Chain application to the latest version of the SunFish ERP for the whole group. 

The distribution part of High Point is using the SunFish SC Suite since 2005 mainly for keeping track of their raw materials and finished goods, sales, invoices, and purchases. Wanting to overhaul their existing structures, include finance and accounting in the system as well as implementing ERP for the whole group not only the distribution, High Point Group conducted a several months spanning vendor selection examining what a number of business application vendors, major players as well as local suppliers, had to offer. Not being convinced of the evaluated solutions, the group contacted DataOn to review which developments and amendments DataOn’s SunFish ERP has undergone since 2005.

After reviewing the new features and their interactions with other modules, DataOn and High Point assessed the deviations between the standard modules and the group’s business procedures in order to specify the areas of customization. Feeling that the standard features combined with the adjustments to the company’s special requirements will provide them with the solution they need, High Point management decided to go ahead with the implementation of SunFish ERP for the whole group.

The latest version of the SunFish ERP will provide High Point group with all the necessary tools to control and optimize their production and distribution processing. Comprehensive and timely access to sales figures and forecasts, finance and budget information, and inventory levels allows the production division to issue accurate and detailed production orders and schedules so that unnecessary costs incurred by machine downtime can be avoided. On the other hand the sales department will finally be able to accurately inform customers about product availability, substitute options, or delivery times, which it previously couldn’t do reliably. Additionally, this synchronization between sales, inventory, material planning, and production will allow High Point to keep inventory levels of raw material, work in progress and finished goods at an optimal balance.
