    Web training that shows the possibilities in a virtual organization

    AB Volvo wanted to change the behavior of the Volvo Group regarding the use of collaboration tools.

  • Addici

    From Decapus to Microsoft BizTalk

    Addici turned to Sigma when they had great difficulty in getting control of their integration flows and getting a good, manageable structure. Our task was to migrate from Addici's existing integration platform, Decapus, to BizTalk. This was done to analyze, document, and produce requirement specifications for integration in Decapus.

    The assignment was also to install and configure BizTalk and implement QuickLink as a method. QuickLink is Sigma's integration methodology to structure the integration platform from scratch, and quickly enabled Addici to work more strategically with integration within their company.

    Grabber® screws in better customer service

    Around 15 screws are screwed every second in Sweden. With their new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, Grabber®, Arne Thuresson Byggmaterial have better control over purchases, higher inventory turnover, and most importantly better customer service. With the new ERP system, they have new business processes and a familiar working environment for employees.

    Grabber® and Arne Thuresson Byggmaterial
    Arne Thuresson Byggmaterial is a wholesaler of building materials, with the following specialties: screws and fixings, walls, and foundations. The company was established in 1974 and has grown with Grabber®. Since its establishment, the company has developed lots of new types of screws, made from the same quality materials, as well as additional products and business areas. Nowadays, the company has three locations in Sweden, with hardware stores throughout Sweden as their primary market.

    To the next level
    The company's management has been run efficiently by a proprietary ERP system tailored to the company. But with time, it was both costly and time consuming to update the system in line with requirement changes. Within customer service, the needs of the new system were the greatest. To maintain competitiveness and to raise the company to the next level, it became necessary to review the ERP.

    After an evaluation, the choice was to use Sigma and Microsoft Dynamics AX to support the wholesale operations as well. The goal of the new system is to provide better customer service as well as to revise and simplify the internal processes. At the same time, it is necessary to comply with all the features which were in the proprietary system.

    Targeted service and shorter lead times
    Through the well-established function in Microsoft Dynamics AX for distribution, finance, and customer data, the company has even support and dialogue with their customers. The service has improved so that the different customer categories can now offer the exact service required, through targeted offers. All users now have access to the customer reports, delivery reports, and stock reports, which means that they can offer better service.

    Sigma's project methodology for implementation, Enigma, has demands for the entire operation to catch up. The project has reacted with requirements to business processes with improvements of routines and system functions. Another of the results comes in the form of new purchasing procedures with invoice matching and direct deliveries. Shorter lead times in the picking and delivery processes are another result from the integration of barcode scanners, handheld computers, and electronic transfer.

    The future
    There are many potential opportunities for the company to develop the installation and their operation further. They could, for example, feed the external portal with product information directly from the ERP. Another possibility is to let the customers to place orders over the internet directly into the ERP. Whichever choice one makes in the future is totally dependent on the requirements of the customers.

  • Bergendahls

    Forecasting tools for successful campaigns

    Bergendahls is one of Sweden's largest commercial companies, and owns brands such as City Gross, Duka, and Glitter. Bergendahls asked the following questions: How does the presence of goods in different campaigns, with different advertising media, affect sales? How can we use historical data to predict future sales?

    To answer these questions, Sigma developed a forecasting tool, which based on campaign data, retrieves historical sales data from SAP. Together with previous campaigns and a set of formulas, the tool calculates probable sales per item. In the forecast, the system even considers the impact of the goods in different advertising media.

    The more campaigns that are logged, the smarter the system becomes, and eventually if can forecast a whole campaign itself, without manual help.
