ERP showcase impresses display firm

Announcement posted by Greentree International 16 Dec 2013

SJ Display Group looks to Greentree for future-proof processes.

Millions of shoppers across Australia see the work of SJ Display Group every day without realising it.

This Melbourne-based company supplies display products to major retailers nationwide. It wholesales a variety of retail display products from hundreds of local and overseas suppliers. SJ either designs product displays or helps bring the customer’s ideas to life.

The business system that had been with SJ from its inception was on its last legs. The task of finding a replacement fell to Justin Penkethman, Director of SJ’s accounting firm, Base Accounting & Tax Pty Ltd.

“This is a competitive, fast-moving industry,” he says. “SJ believes what sets it apart is not only its innovative ideas; it’s also its ability to solve problems, providing seamless, quality service and fast turnaround times.”

SECURING THAT BRIGHT FUTURE

Warehousing and stock management are central to SJ’s operations. Its Melbourne warehouse covers around 5500 square metres, and that space holds some 4000 stock items. Keeping track of incoming shipments and inventory was both frustrating and time-consuming.

SJ wanted a new system that could handle financials, CRM, warehousing, payroll and business intelligence. Greentree won due to its slick warehouse bin management, its customisable Workflow desktop, its ability to track shipments, and its business intelligence module, Greentree IQ*.

“Retailers are always looking for the newest, best way of presenting their products,” says Justin. “They expect a quick response; they want the display ready for Monday opening, in all their stores, and they don’t want to know about problems. Above all, SJ believes Greentree will boost efficiency.”
