Case Study: Supreme Spring achieves faster system performance and improved efficiencies with SYSPRO ERP Software

Supreme Spring Undertakes an ‘Exceptionally Smooth’ Upgrade to SYSPRO 8

Supreme Spring, a South African metal‑fabrication supplier to the automotive industry, had been a SYSPRO customer since 2007 but faced the risk of falling behind competitors due to ageing technology and heavy reliance on legacy reporting tools. To future‑proof the business they worked with SYSPRO ERP Software to move from older releases to the latest ERP platform, SYSPRO 8.

On the advice of partner EOH they leapfrogged to SYSPRO 8 with a pre‑conversion and an after‑hours cutover that avoided downtime, migrated Report Writer reports to Crystal-based SYSPRO Reporting Services (SRS), and adopted SYSPRO’s Quantum Architecture for forecasting and budgets. SYSPRO ERP Software delivered marked gains: rock‑solid stability, faster system response and dashboards for greater self‑service, a 25,452‑page BOM costing report reduced from over one minute to under six seconds, and analyses that once took 2–3 days now complete in about 15 seconds, improving efficiencies and productivity.
