The application
The challenge
Kerrygold is a long time Movex user with almost all modules in place (manufacturing, purchasing, planning, sales, inventory, warehousing, quality & finance) for many users. The initial requirement of Kerrygold was for an efficient invoice processing solution with a proven track record, with seamless integration to the Movex application.
The solution
The solution chosen by Kerrygold is based on Multi-Supports IDM (Intelligent document Management) concept, integrating scanning and interpretation technology from Readsoft. This will provide automatic three way matching in Movex together with a full browser based workflow process for exception handling. Basing the solution on the IDM concept allows Kerrygold to grow from "simple invoice processing" into a complete enterprise document management as well as business processing scenario. Step by step, with no limitations, and no unnecessary investments. The implementation has been done in close co-operation between Multi-Support, Movex specialists Merit, and ReadSoft.
The benefits
"Out of the three short-listed solutions we chose the Multi-Support offering, because it provides us with the most significant administration benefits" says David Neill, IT manager at Kerrygold. David continues "Also the solution infrastructure was a good fit for the Irish Dairy Board Group of companies (which includes Kerrygold) as all the group companies utilize the same central server to host Movex. Therefore the centrally situated MultiArchive solution could be cost effectively made available to other Group companies."
