SYSPRO, extended without touching the core.
Flexible Metal, part of the Hyspan group, manufactures and stocks on SYSPRO. Inventory was tracked partly in spreadsheets, stock didn't always match between the warehouse and the system, and the screens were hard to use. We built an inventory management portal on top of SYSPRO with inventory, purchasing and supervisor approval modules, and left SYSPRO's core exactly as it was.
The project is still in progress, with modules being added. We still support what's live.
core untouched| Before | With the portal | |
|---|---|---|
| Inventory tracking | Partly in spreadsheets, with keying errors | Every movement recorded in one portal, posted to SYSPRO |
| Physical vs system stock | Hard to reconcile | Batch and serial tracking with a movement log |
| Screens | Hard to use on the floor | Simple screens with barcode and QR scanning |
| Approvals | Informal | Role-based approval workflows with accountability |
| Warehouses | Tracked separately | Multi-warehouse stock in one view |
Stock in and out, transfers, adjustments, batch and serial tracking, and movement logs, with FIFO, LIFO and weighted average valuation.
Purchase requests, approvals, orders, receipts and supplier coordination.
Role-based approval workflows and accountability tracking for every change that matters.
| Layer | What we used | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Screens | Microsoft Power Apps | Quick to build and easy for floor staff to use |
| Back end | .NET | Business logic and the connection to SYSPRO |
| Integration | SYSPRO's own interfaces | So SYSPRO upgrades keep working |
| Reporting | Real-time dashboards and custom reports | Live stock and movement visibility |
