About The Customer
Schleuniger, Inc. is a leading industry player in wire processing equipment. The company is known for its accuracy, quality, and clean connections on each wire or cable end—cut, stripped, marked, and terminated by Schleuniger’s state-of-the-art machinery. By adhering to its motto, “To Be Precise,” Schleuniger has built a global business selling to high-tech industries from telecommunications to aerospace. The company's products range from compact benchtop wire strippers to large, fully integrated wire processing systems. Schleuniger’s precision semi- and fully automatic equipment cut, strip, and mark wire and cables of all types including coaxial, fiber optic, and multiconductor cables. High-precision quality is achieved at speeds of up to 10,000 processed pieces per hour with minimal tooling changeovers from one application to another.
The Challenge
Schleuniger, a global business selling to high-tech industries, was in need of a new accounting system that could be accessed by its four branch offices, including locations in Canada and Mexico. The company wanted to ensure high-quality customer service across all its locations. However, the small size of the branch offices made it challenging to invest in a costly wide-area network. The company needed a solution that would allow branch offices to access pertinent business information, make entries remotely, and receive performance just like on the LAN at headquarters.
The Solution
Schleuniger selected Sage 100 ERP as their solution. Through early adoption of virtual private network (VPN) technology, the company discovered it could use Sage 100 ERP over the Internet on a standard DSL connection. Now branch offices can log onto Sage 100 ERP securely, access pertinent business information, make entries remotely, and receive performance just like on the LAN at headquarters. And it’s fast. Reports that once took more than half an hour run in about a minute. Sean Matulonis, MIS manager at Schleuniger, says that implementation was surprisingly simple. “VPN technology was so new that we didn’t know what to expect. Yet the Sage 100 ERP system has performed better than we could have imagined.”
Operational Impact
  • Streamlined systems from accounting to fulfillment
  • Enhanced operational efficiency
  • Achieved substantial savings with VPN architecture option
Quantitative Benefit
  • Reports that took 30 minutes take about one minute now
  • Supporting Sage 100 ERP costs about 25 percent less than our customer relationship management package, which is similar in scope
