Innovative manufacturer in the automotive and aerospace industry of carbon-ceramic brake materials plans for future growth and chooses Vision33 to implement SAP Business One for its operations.
CHESHIRE, England – August 19, 2016 - Vision33, leading global SAP Gold Channel Partner, is excited to announce that Surface Transforms has chosen Vision33 to implement SAP Business One® for its enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution. Vision33 will partner with Surface Transforms, experts in the development and production of carbon-ceramic brake materials, in transitioning its business lines onto a single integrated platform with the SAP Business One application.
Since its founding in 1992, Surface Transforms has continuously grown through its expertise and dedication to its unique and innovative patented materials. The company is a leader in development of carbon-ceramic brake materials, with a focus on proprietary technologies to create innovative, high performance applications. Due to the company’s growth, and their specialisation in highly technical materials and applications, Surface Transforms selected SAP Business One, a unified ERP solution, to automate their operational processes, streamline workflow, and manage their inventory.
Surface Transforms was running a combination of different software solutions, including Sage 50 that no longer met their requirements as a growing business. Realising their current systems in place would not support their future plans, Surface Transforms decided on SAP Business One for one integrated solution. “We chose SAP Business One because it provides the scalability we require for future planning, and SAP has a strong reputation in the industry for reliability and functionality”, says David Allen, Finance Director with Surface Transforms PLC. “As well, the be.as Manufacturing components [specifically designed for SAP Business One] bring functionality and compliance for both our automotive and aerospace business requirements”.
In deciding on SAP Business One, Surface Transforms selected to work with global SAP Business One leading partner, Vision33 with offices throughout the UK. “An important part of our decision process was deciding on the right SAP Business One partner to work with on our implementation. As the leading global VAR for SAP Business One, Vision33 has the expertise, business process knowledge and local UK team to deliver this project”.
Once the project is complete, Surface Transforms will have increased visibility and operational efficiencies across the business. The company will have real-time access to financials, sales, customer, manufacturing inventory data and more from a consistent, easy to use interface. “Surface Transforms is at the cutting edge of technology in automotive braking, and we are excited to be able to support them in the next stage of their development as a business”, says Mark Hughes, General Manager of Vision33 UK. “Our automotive industry experience coupled with the capabilities of be.as Advanced Manufacturing for SAP Business One is going to provide the platform to allow them to increase operational efficiencies and accelerate their growth.
