SAP & WR1 Sucessfully Implemented at GERCO

Global Environmental Recycling choose SAP Business One & WR1 for WEEE compliance

Global Environmental Recycling were one of the first licensed sites for refrigeration disposal in the country. They offer a comprehensive disposal service to many retail companies and councils across the UK. These businesses are all safe in the knowledge that they deal with refrigeration and electrical disposal in the most environmentally friendly method.

Global Environmental Recycling chose SAP Business One and WR1 from ISB for the functional and operational benefits provided by this solution across all aspects of their business.

Their need was compounded by the WEEE legislation coming into force on July 1st, which imposes significant compliance requirements on recycling companies.

From go-live in June 2007, there have been significant improvements in operational efficiency, reporting and general finance compliance.

SAP Live at DoubleH Nurseries

ISB have gone live with SAP Business One for DoubleH (DH) Nurseries in New Milton, Dorset.

SAP Business One provides DH with a Fully Integrated ERP solution including Stock, Production, MRP, AR, AP, Finance and Reporting.

Key to the solution was SAP's MRP system (Material Requirements Planning) which holds and forecasts Supply and Demand planning, by product, by customer by week.

This automatically manages Supply Procurement, as well as driving Production orders BOM's to produce the finished product. This in turn fulfils their Sales Orders, while automatically back-flushing (depleting) the stocks of raw materials.

This combined with SAP's EDI component to automatically upload customer sales orders, and dispatch the final invoice back via EDI for payment.

The planned Stage 2, includes further automation of their warehouse (glasshouses) management using handheld devices.

The UK fresh cut flower and indoor plant market is worth £2.2 billion at retail level. To put this in perspective, the UK music industry is worth around £2 billion.

This represents an average spend per person per year of £36 (£28 on flowers and £8 on plants).
