Contactim is a South African company that manufactures rubber and plastic products, household and industrial cleaning products, plumbing equipment and more. Contactim exports to Madagascar, Namibia, Botswana and other African countries.

Contactim selected Afrisoft Africa to implement TransLution™ Software on a small scale in their KZN warehouse as a proof of concept implementation. After this successful roll-out, subsequent phases of the project will extend the TransLution™ footprint throughout the factory.

The initial project phase was to use TransLution™ to scan items and post an Inventory Receipt into SYSPRO. The user scans an EAN13 retail barcode and TransLution™ uses this barcode to find the matching SYSPRO stock code. The stock code is then passed to SYSPRO to do the inventory receipt.
