M1 By B & G™ ERP Program is the choice of leading test equipment manufacturer – Intepro Systems

Intepro Systems manufacturing facility in Limerick

Intepro Systems Ltd (formerly Schaffner Ireland Ltd) was established in 2006 following the sale of the Schaffner Test Equipment Division. The company manufactures functional test and design verification systems for power supplies, power components and power modules, as well as life cycle and reliability testers for AC/DC and DC/DC converters, rechargeable batteries and other power electronics components.

Intepro has been a leader in power supply testing solutions for 25 years, supplying customers in the telecoms, military and automotive industries. The company has ISO 9001:2000 accreditation for its Quality Management Systems and employs 20 people between its Limerick manufacturing facility and its sales offices in the US and UK.

Following its emergence from under the Schaffner name, Intepro needed a flexible, user-friendly ERP system to replace the existing legacy MRP custom job shop software system that had been implemented and supported at corporate level. The potential new system had to be capable of supporting Intepro’s custom job shop model and its complex BoM structures as well as allowing multiple suppliers for its 5000 stocked components.

Having reviewed a number of packages and short listed to three, the key decision makers chose M1 for its functionality, ease of use and its customisation capabilities. Following this decision, Intepro went live within 3 months of the initial installation, incorporating the Production, Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, General Ledger, Multi-Currency Management, Estimating/Quoting, Advanced Inventory Management, Document Management, Advanced Bill of Material and Shop Floor Entry modules for five users.

Gerard Sheehan, Operations Manager, said; “The flexibility of the job management module makes creating and planning jobs very easy, while the ability to link jobs to sales orders suits our manufacturing model.  The user friendliness of the financial modules is a very impressive feature of M1 and a major improvement on our legacy system. The reporting capability of the system gives us a better view of our business. We also took advantage of B&G’s willingness to customise forms and reports to suit our requirements.”

Gerard added; “We see M1 as having a major role in our development over the coming years, by giving us greater visibility of our business due to the strong reporting capabilities. We are happy to recommend M1 to any of B&G’s prospective customers and are willing to be a reference site for any visits.”
