Finding more to love
Kerry is amazed how the new version is changing her workflows for the better.
The flexibility of Sybiz Vision to be able to change orders on the fly means Kerry and the team can quickly make alterations to suit a specific order, without needing to create a whole new BOM.
“The Bill Of Materials can change from customer to customer; to 1 metre, to 1.1 metre, 1.2 metres. It was hard to find anything that would do what we wanted it to do at the level we used it at.”
“If I’ve got 15 items that are all different, I can change it on the fly and invoice it out. If they use a different part instead of something else than they did on the BOM, I can just delete that line and add that line and it’s done.”
Connect Electronics needed the ability to keep up with the demands on a leading supplier for innovative and fast-paced industries, and Sybiz Vision is packed with features that have helped accelerate their capability.
When we mentioned the New From functionality – letting users create new transactions with many of the details carried over from one just processed – Kerry lit up.
“I love that! That is the best. That just saves me so much time. I just click ‘new from’ and I’ll change a length in something or change one digit in a description and everything’s there. Click save and then we’re done!”
With quality assurance and accreditation comes traceability requirements. And great for Connect Electronics, Sybiz Vision was up to the task.
“The printing capabilities [are] unbelievable.”
“It has made life so easy. I raise the sales order, click across a tab, right click and say create order and then I say print."
“It’s already saved in the system which tray it’s got to come out of and what colour paper it has to be on.”
“There’s no more backwards and forwards and in one software and into another and out. It’s made it much easier. A lot less room for human error.”
And this ease of use has been apparent to other staff across the business.
“The biggest feedback I’ve had is from one of my other team members. Even she’s said it’s so easy. For her where it used to be an even slower process - maybe a 5-minute process to get an order through - now she might be done in a minute and a half.”
The opportunities unlocked by new technology and on-demand data insight is also changing how Kerry thinks about analysing her business performance.
“I got Visionaries to make me a custom report. I was so hellbent on having a report that looked like this and had to do this and it had to have that. And when I actually looked at the filtering options at the top of every column, I realised ‘you could have done that yourself’!”
“I had a lightbulb moment. It’s only something I’m going to get better at with time.”
