Industry: Manufacturing
Solution: EDIStech B2B EDI 

In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, efficiency and accuracy are paramount for maintaining a competitive edge. Allegion faced significant issues around data entry errors, reliance on outdated paper-based systems, and the heavy burden of manual order processing. Allegion sought a comprehensive solution to streamline its processes by partnering with EDIStech. They faced their business problems head-on and seamlessly integrated their supply chain to reduce human error and accelerate the pace of their business. This case study delves into the telltale signs that it's time for change and the solutions applied to achieve substantial benefits from this transformative EDI implementation.

The Pain Points:

  1. Fragmented Supply Chain and Coordination Challenges: The company's supply chain was loosely integrated, leading to inefficiencies and coordination issues across various stages of production and distribution.
     

  2. Limitations of Paper-Based Systems: The reliance on paper-based systems significantly restricted our growth potential by slowing down processes and making data management cumbersome.
     

  3. Data Entry Constraints: Manual data entry was prone to mistakes, which resulted in inaccuracies and inconsistencies in our records, further hampering our operational efficiency.

The EDI Solution:

  1. Enhanced Efficiency: Linking Allegion to its clients via Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) has enabled faster stock movement and significantly improved supply chain efficiency.
     

  2. Streamlined Processes: The implementation of EDI has eliminated paper-based systems, streamlining processes and enhancing overall productivity.
     

  3. Improved Data Accuracy with EDI - ERP Integration: By using EDI to upload sales orders directly into Allegion’s ERP system, we have eliminated the need for manual data entry, reducing errors and increasing the accuracy of our records.

Manual Processes Put To The Sword!

By implementing a cloud-based Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) solution, Allegion has achieved a more tightly integrated supply chain and substantially accelerated the pace of business. That is because information that flows electronically is more accurate, much faster and doesn’t require the exchange of paper or the intervention of people. The solution provided by EDIStech connects the business systems of Allegion to those of its key customers. EDIStech provides a platform that connects to New Zealand retailers, suppliers and exporters, which facilitates the secure exchange of information between the business systems of various parties over the internet.

“We know the benefits that moving away from paper brings.  And the more clients we have on board, the greater the value this system delivers... The cost of running EDI is far less than having staff wasting their time checking orders and entering data manually!" 

- Jason Tung, IT Support Officer - Allegion
