Tropos is designed for recipe-based materials scheduling and production management. Production can be planned and co-ordinated precisely, and in real time, maximising productivity and eliminating spoilage.
"Tropos immediately gave us a much clearer picture of orders and the production schedule, which allowed us to plan better planning," says md Phil Blakeman. "It helped us cut waste and increase production because it provides the information our operations managers need to make better decisions."
"The production planning is absolutely superb," says Blakeman. "The payback comes because we can see and easily update the schedule to keep our lines busy and we have transformed stock control and stock rotation."
Blakeman estimates that, without the Solarsoft system, the business would need to employ 23 more people in quality control and in the planning office and would be 1520% less efficient in production with corresponding benefits in inventory management.
