Case Study: American Printing House for the Blind achieves balanced inventory and efficient scheduling with SYSPRO ERP Software

American Printing House for the Blind - Customer Case Study

American Printing House for the Blind, a not-for-profit manufacturer of more than 800 products for people who are visually impaired, struggled with a costly, mainframe-era system that required heavy data entry and training, produced inaccurate scheduling, and could not keep up with an expanding inventory. To address these issues, APH selected SYSPRO ERP Software (SYSPRO ERP) as an integrated, user-friendly ERP to replace legacy systems and support accounting, order entry, MRP II and inventory control.

SYSPRO ERP Software implemented a fully integrated solution that streamlined financials, inventory control, purchasing and production planning. SYSPRO enabled periodic adjustments for scrap and damaged parts so physical inventory and the general ledger stay balanced, improved forecasting and scheduling across contract, make-on-demand and make-to-stock processes, and helped APH reduce finished-goods and standing inventory, lower costs and errors, and increase visibility and customer service.
