Hampshire-based Corintec, an
electronic product design
and manufacturing
subcontractor, was previously using
an ageing DOS-based system. There
was no connectivity to Microsoft
Office or emails and the company
was still printing documents in
triplicate on tractor-fed dot matrix
printers.

Since implementing a 123insight
end-to-end solution, the company
reports several benefits. Some
departments have been able to go
completely paperless, as invoices and
order acknowledgments are now
generated in PDF format and
emailed – overall the company has
seen a 40% reduction in paper usage.

Leadtimes have been halved.

Corintech is also able to make full
use of 123insight’s multi company
database structure. The company
shares a manufacturing facility with
its sister company Lascar in Hong
Kong. The remote location connects
via CITRIX to Corintech’s servers in
the UK. It now has its own database
within 123insight, allowing the
company to sell to its customer base
in China.
