POOLE, U.K. - eTradeWire -- Codeless Platforms today revealed that its BPA Platform has provided Compass Packaging International, a distribution and 3PL provider based in the USA and Ireland, with a flexible solution to incorporate an acquired business running SAP R/3 Enterprise. Additionally, BPA Platform has also enabled Compass Packaging to automate multiple business processes.

"What we've ended up with is a fully integrated system. It's not just the manufacturing side, we also have all of the financials connected to it. That's been a huge benefit for the business. BPA Platform has played a big role in making that work," revealed Siobhan Callan, Director of Business Development.

The project was driven by Compass Packaging International's acquisition of a business that was already operating on SAP R/3 Enterprise. To ensure continuity, Compass Packaging replaced its existing system with SAP Business One.

"The first step was implementing SAP Business One within Compass Packaging, which is the parent company. From there, we deployed it within the Supply Chain Solutions division and needed to build all the automation tasks to support their operations. From an efficiency standpoint, there's no way we could have absorbed that business into our previous system," explained Phil Copelas, President/Owner.

Following the deployment of SAP Business One and BPA Platform, both systems now underpin the company's supply chain operations.

"A key part of making the system efficient is the number of automated tasks that we are running in the background via BPA Platform. We have numerous automated tasks that take away a lot of manual work, particularly for operational processes," said Gabriel Mulligan, Financial/Business Analyst.

"As sales orders are received, the production orders that are needed to build the product are automatically created. If that wasn't there, shortages would have to be calculated manually in Excel and production orders loaded manually into SAP Business One. It just wouldn't be tenable given the numbers."

"Once a production order moves from planned to released status, it is automatically printed in the correct manufacturing area. Without this functionality, we would need to manually check which production orders had moved from planned to released, retrieve them, and then print them in the appropriate locations."

Picklist generation is handled in a similar way. On the finance side, BPA Platform (https://www.codelessplatforms.com/business-process-automation-platform/) also creates AR invoices automatically for anything that has shipped that day. In addition, there are several BPA tasks that integrate SAP Business One with the shop floor database system.

"These tasks send information such as production orders, bills of materials, product data, sales orders and delivery information. XML files are generated whenever transactions are created or updated, ensuring the shop floor system stays synchronised with SAP Business One."
