Overview
Geiger & Klotzbücher, a leading supplier of packaging solutions for perishable food products, partnered with TydeCo™ to successfully re-deploy Sage 300cloud after a failed initial implementation.
Based in Southern Africa, the company needed a manufacturing ERP system that could improve inventory accuracy and reduce waste. TydeCo™ conducted a full Business Systems Planning (BSP) process involving deep operational analysis, which led to tailored configurations aligned with Geiger & Klotzbücher’s complex stock and procurement workflows.
The result was a dramatic improvement in forecasting, supplier relationships, and inventory control. Material Requirement Planning (MRP) now operates based on live data and accurate demand, supporting cost-effective procurement and operational agility.
With reduced overstock and improved accuracy, the business is better positioned to serve its markets efficiently and competitively.
Accuracy of raw material orders now improved.
Challenge
The company’s outdated, paper-based materials planning caused errors, inefficiencies, and poor stock visibility.
- Previous system lacked real-time data
- High levels of overstock and dead stock
- Forecasting was inaccurate and manual
- Imports and multiple stock locations were hard to manage
A new deployment was needed to deliver accuracy and visibility in materials and procurement.
A solid, integrated manufacturing solution.
Solution
TydeCo™ re-implemented Sage 300cloud for manufacturing and materials management.
- Conducted Business Systems Planning workshops
- Customized MRP and inventory modules
- Connected real-time inventory to forecasting tools
- Integrated stock location, import tracking, and working capital control
The result was reduced waste, better supplier coordination, and improved cost control across operations.
