Summary
Lo-Chlor Chemicals, based in Sydney, Australia, is a leading manufacturer of chemicals for swimming pool maintenance. As a manufacturer, they faced challenges in tracking inventory, managing orders, and ensuring timely deliveries. Seeking a solution that integrates seamlessly with MYOB, Lo-Chlor turned to Datapel’s WMS to transform their operations.
Lo-Chlor Challenges and issues
Lo-Chlor encountered significant difficulties with manual processes, leading to inventory mismanagement and frequent backorder situations. The absence of a structured system for inventory control and order management prompted the company to explore a solution that aligns with MYOB.
Our experience working with Datapel has been transformative. With the help of Datapel’s inventory management, order processing, and features like special price schedules, we have achieved a new level in our industry. Our service is unparalleled, and Datapel has been a key partner in this success.
Solution and implementation
After extensive research and discussions with the Datapel Team, Lo-Chlor decided to implement Datapel Cloud.WMS. The integration with MYOB proved crucial in addressing their specific needs. The implementation brought about a substantial improvement, with the operational manager describing the transformation as “like chalk and cheese.”
