COSTA MESA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SYSPRO, the leading provider of visionary, pragmatic ERP software, announced today that Garland, Texas-based Service Lighting and Electrical Supplies, aka 1000Bulbs.com, is reporting faster order turnaround times, significantly enhanced customer service and outstanding company growth utilizing SYSPRO ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) software.
1000Bulbs.com, which stocks and sells more than 12,000 electrical bulbs and products to consumers, universities and major organizations and companies such as NASA and Boeing, says that its utilization of SYSPRO ERP software has precipitated growth via automated Web-based order processing and highly efficient troubleshooting procedures.
According to CEO Kim Pedersen, the company’s detailed website equates to a “library on lighting…” relating every detail about every product, giving customers access to specs and other information pertinent to decision making. If further information is required, the company maintains a full time staff who readily responds to customers calling via the company’s 800 line.
Pedersen explains that Web-based customer orders are downloaded into SYSPRO every 20 or 30 minutes with the applicable allocation logic following. “Based on customer preferences, order status is determined, followed by indications if the product is in stock, if the customer’s credit is okay and other pertinent order details. If the part number is problematic, the order is put into a suspense file, and a sales rep contacts the customer for clarification and verification that the customer has ordered the correct part.”
Pedersen notes that SYSPRO enables 1000Bulbs to issue a list of proactive reports that pull data out of SYSPRO on potential issues. The reports range from a list of back orders, to bad addresses, credit card issues and so on. Customer service groups try to proactively solve the problems transparent to the customer. “If they can’t, then they will contact the customer, providing options,” Pedersen notes.
About the company’s choice of SYSPRO ERP software, Pedersen says, “It allows us to grow and control our transactions…we have so many transactions…that without SYSPRO, we could never complete and ship that many orders out the door. SYSPRO allows us to manage the back order process and everything else that goes into an order.”
