Actom (Pty) Ltd is the largest electro-mechanical manufacturer and solution provider in Africa. Boasting a unique combination of manufacturing, services, repairs, maintenance, projects and distribution throughout Southern Africa, one does not need to look far to see one of their 38 outlets.

With such a large footprint in Africa it is critical to continuously control and observe inventory levels timeously and without wasting resources. This was the task set for Translution™ Software for Actom’s stock take and cycle count processes.

To achieve this, barcoded stock is scanned and values are entered into Translution™ Software for a specific validated item in either a cycle count session or for stock taking. Translution™ Software then checks the theoretical quantity in Syspro™ to calculate any variance between Actual Stock on the floor and ERP theoretical levels. If there is a variance, the floor manager may override the quantity if missing items are later found or a recount indicates an error in the initial take.

If the floor manager or user is satisfied with the quantities entered in Translution™, the user may upload the stock file into Syspro™ to update stock levels and print out an actual variance report.

An accurate stock view as well as the flexibility and ease of use of Translution™ Software are what set it apart from other solutions. The success of the project will see Atcom implementing Translution™ Software at its other warehouses and sites.
