Customer Challenge

Bravilor Bonamat needed to improve their stock management and supply chain to cope with rapid growth and an increase in new product lines.

Existing manual stock management processes were not effective, resulting in stock deviations, inaccurate stock information and a significant administrative burden.

The company required a user-friendly, flexible and integrated ERP system, and a way to encourage existing employees to adapt to the new way of working.

WHY BRAVILOR BONAMAT CHOSE REDFAIRE INTERNATIONAL

Bravilor Bonamat chose Oracle’s JD Edwards EnterpriseOne following a year long selection process. The Redfaire International team was chosen for its deep JD Edwards technical expertise and familiarity with the manufacturing industry.

Their current system could not scale to meet demand for new product lines and stricter product quality requirements.

Bravilor Bonamat also needed a partner that could reduce the costs and improve the efficiency of their manual stock management.

They also had a lack of robust, user-friendly reporting systems. These systems did not allow for actionable data insights.
