Helping organisations embrace Industry 4.

Helping organisations embrace Industry 4

7 February 2020

Troy Foods, Envirovent and Stephenson are just a few organisations that have benefited from introducing the latest technologies into their organisation. Our most recent collaboration saw Concept Data, a leading designer, manufacturer and supplier, future proof their organisation by streamlining processes and maximising efficiencies.

By embracing the latest in digital innovation with IT@Spectrum, Concept Data overcame a range of challenges. These challenges Included having low visibility of available production time, no remote access to documents, difficulty managing data across departments and considerable manual paper processing. To overcome these challenges we had to install our latest best-in-class software solutions. 

The first stage of the installation involved digitising Concept Data's documents by implementing industry-leading Canon software. This now allows Concept Data to see their document's status even when working remotely. This also means they can see available times for production and create accurate forecasting for delivery of customer orders.

However, we didn't just implement revolutionary software, we upgraded Concept Data's hardware too. Award-winning Multifunctional Devices (Photocopiers) were implemented into Concept Data, allowing them to cut costs and maximise the efficiency of their printing. Concept Data has now gained full control and visibility of their documents thanks to IT@Spectrum's implementations. 

Talking about how IT@Spectrum has developed its business, Gerry Mclucas, Managing Director at Concept Data said:

“We were very impressed with IT@Spectrum, especially with how proactive they are if we have any issues. The product they have provided us with has benefited the company massively by seamlessly linking the management information for our manufacturing departments and accounts process.”

“They deliver exactly what they say they will, and I would fully recommend their services if you are looking to automate your business.”

Neil Wells, Business Development Manager at IT@Spectrum, who introduced Concept Data to the idea of new systems, told us why businesses choose him to help automate their business processes. He said:

“We specialise in understanding a company’s paper bottlenecks and provide solutions to automate and streamline this in a fully compliant way, especially around the sales order processing, accounts payable, remittance and statement reconciliation. More recently due to GDPR, HR onboarding, offboarding, policies and training records. Companies from the manufacturing sector come to us because they actively want to reduce paper processes and speed up the time it takes to administer, ultimately they want to have visibility of all areas within the business and link information held in paper and within their systems to make accurate key business decisions. We can save time and money by capturing, managing and displaying information across all processes."

Neil also told us why he thinks this is helping manufacturers move into Industry 4.0. He said:

“We are assisting companies to move into Industry 4 with business process automation. Industry 4 is all about being lean and automated - something I feel we provide for our customers.”
