Patleys uses SPM to improve supplier/customer relationships
Since its inception in 1892 as a family business, Patleys has become a leading distributor of local and imported quality brands in southern Africa. Today, Patleys is the specialty food division of Bidvest Foodservice, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bidvest Group.
In the early 1990s, the company evolved into an industry leader in the specialty food arena by re-aligning its business focus on the marketing and distribution of local and imported brands to include both the retail and wholesale industries.
The entire process was streamlined. The SYSPRO solutions were modeled in SPM along with Patleys' business processes through the mapping, which was done simultaneously with the JAD (Joint Application Development) sessions. Patleys used SPM to successfully model its entire business. Henri Angove, FD of Patleys, commented, "This gave the company a reference guide on how we want to run the business, which can then be actualized in SYSPRO."
