Spy’s production, inventory, sales and customer data management were all previously distributed throughout various non-integrated IT systems. The new combined Microsoft Dynamics system will work in tandem with Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Exchange Server, Microsoft Office and other products on the Microsoft platform.
The company will use the functionality of Microsoft Dynamics GP’s data management applications to move to a paperless model, which it projects may reduce order processing and SKU setup time by up to 50%.
Additionally, Spy anticipates that new credit card automation functionality may potentially save up to 30 labor hours per month by reducing data entry of cash receipts by approximately 30%. The firm will also use the new system in its warehouse facility, where it says integration with handheld scanning technology may increase inventory management and distribution time proficiency by up to 90%
