SOLUTIONS

SAP is the leader in the marketplace around the world for software used to optimize manufacturing operations.

Indeed, the roots of SAP began largely in manufacturing operations in Germany, and over time expanded to the point where a large majority of the top manufacturer's worldwide, including IBM, Sony and BMW, use SAP solutions to manage their business. Manufacturers not only require optimum performance on the assembly line, but also require tight inventory management for both supplies and finished goods.

SAP provides several solutions to manage the process from end-to-end, including Supplier Relationship Management and Supply Chain Management. However, each manufacturer has very specific needs in terms of how inventory is managed and who manages it. This is the focus of Sylogist solutions.

Sylogist provides turnkey solutions to enhance inventory management and warehouse operations for manufacturers who run SAP, using mobile computing applications specifically tailored to their business processes. The powerful combination of SAP to manage inventory, and for Sylogist solutions to manage the elemental placement and movement of goods, provides significant benefits to our customers. Customers know which parts they have and where they're located, reducing a significant amount of effort to search for specific elements. This can translate into significant benefits, especially if the individual parts are expensive.

The Sylogist solution consists of three key elements: Syloway and Syloway.net, which provide customized applications for rugged, handheld devices using the Microsoft CE environment; Sylobridge, which is a high-performance connectivity and integration solution providing for the collection and transmission of mobile data into and out of SAP; and Sylogist Services, which include the knowledge of how SAP is structured to optimize the movement of goods using these mobile devices.

In 2005, Sylogist will also implement mobile infrastructure solutions for inventory management based on SAP's Netweaver line of products, including SAP Mobile Infrastructure.

Over 50 SAP customers, including Astaris, Vishay and Texas Aero use the Sylogist solution to improve their inventory management. Our customers complement us for the degree of customization we can perform to their business processes, the reliability of our solution and the pragmatic approach we use to deal with their new opportunities.
