Case Study: Candy Manufacturing Company achieves real-time product tracking and uninterrupted data collection with Acsis

Candy Manufacturer Automates Data Collection for Real-time Visibility and Product Tracking

Candy Manufacturing Company, a large U.S.-based candy manufacturer, needed to upgrade its ERP platform to SAP while preserving around-the-clock shop-floor, inventory, and warehouse data collection. The company wanted a way to track product from raw materials through production and shipping, even if SAP or the network was temporarily unavailable. Acsis was brought in to provide an automated data collection solution that could integrate directly with SAP and support the transition from legacy processes.

Acsis implemented Warehouse Enhance on the Acsis VisiTrak platform, connecting shop-floor equipment, handheld scanners, forklift-mounted scanners, palletizers, and other material-handling systems to SAP in real time. Acsis delivered 50 tailored transactions from its prebuilt library, helping speed deployment and reduce setup effort. The result was automated, more accurate data collection, real-time visibility across operations, uninterrupted reporting when SAP was offline, and improved efficiency with lower labor costs.
