A contract to supply and implement a SAP Business One integrated financial, accounting, production and retail software solution for Brits-based specialist livestock farming equipment manufacturer Tal-Tec, has been won by mid-market ERP solutions provider Lorge.
The solution will cover the entire Tal-Tec supply chain from the manufacture of equipment at the Brits factory, storage, sales and stock management and transportation. The full financial package includes general ledger, debtors, creditors and cashbook and will generate meaningful strategic management reports for Tal-Tec directly from the accounting package.
Lorge SAP Business One business unit general manager Eugene Olivier says the solution, which is scheduled to go live in January 2007, will streamline forward planning for Tal-Tec management and provide greater flexibility in decision-making.
"The SAP Business One solution will unify management, finance, sales, service and procurement in a centralised database while providing scalability to meet longer term needs and future expansion."
Tal-Tec distributes directly from its factory in Brits as well as through the Obaro (MGK) and NTK coops. In addition, it has agents located in Vryburg (NW), Hankey (EC) and Gaborone. The company designs and manufacturers a wide range of specialist livestock equipment for cattle and sheep, including self-feeders, ring feeders, water troughs, crush sections, body clamps and cradles, guillotine and sorting gates, kraal sides, mobile crush trailers, scales, loading ramps, cattle spray races and miscellaneous equipment including mobile workshops.
Designed for rigorous African conditions, the durable livestock product range saves time and improves productivity in the handling of livestock for inspection, de-horning, medication, vaccination, tagging, branding, hoof trimming and artificial insemination or embryo transplantation.
