Case Study: Barnes Fencing achieves consolidated production and improved operational efficiencies with SYSPRO ERP Software

Barnes Fencing Enhances Operational Efficiencies with SYSPRO

Barnes Fencing, a South African metal fabrication manufacturer supplying construction, mining, agriculture and hardware markets, needed a fully integrated ERP to consolidate production activities and boost operational efficiency across multiple facilities. The company selected SYSPRO ERP Software and migrated from Pastel to SYSPRO (now running SYSPRO 8) to address fragmented systems and coordination challenges across its South African, Botswana and Namibia operations.

SYSPRO ERP Software implemented SYSPRO 8 across Barnes Fencing’s subsidiaries, consolidating production, improving logistics coordination and enabling remote access for management. The solution delivered a holistic view of operations, optimized vehicle load and route planning to improve fleet turnaround and helped contain distribution costs such as fuel; overall, Barnes reports significantly improved operational efficiencies and smoother order fulfilment since the SYSPRO deployment.
