Case Study: Sun Mountain Sports achieves significant manpower savings and real-time inventory visibility with SYSPRO ERP Software

Sun Mountain Sports Hits a Hole-in-One with SYSPRO ERP Software

Sun Mountain Sports, a leading golf-equipment maker known for innovations like the standing golf bag and the Eclipse outerwear line, faced growing pains as rapid expansion exposed a patchwork of outdated systems. Order-entry corruption, poor inventory visibility, manual shipping and invoicing processes, and inefficient reporting were limiting customer service and profitability, so Sun Mountain Sports turned to SYSPRO ERP Software in 2000 to replace its fragmented technology stack.

SYSPRO ERP Software was implemented to unify sales, inventory, financials and shipping (including integration with FedEx Ship Manager) and to manage high volumes of imports and customizable orders. The result: automated sales-order-to-GL postings saved about three hours of manpower per day, SYSPRO estimates thousands of worker-hours saved over 18 years, shipping and inventory visibility improved accuracy and customer satisfaction, and targeted sales initiatives enabled by SYSPRO helped lift “green grass” sales by 5–10% after adjusting commissions.
