The Challenge
Worldwide Supply has provided new and pre-owned network equipment and services for more than 30 years. It supports over 200 brands, including Cisco, Juniper and Ericsson, for some of the largest cable operators, carriers and service providers in the world.
The company carries about $500 million of inventory at any given time, and its services business handles warehousing, inventory and asset recovery for customers. It wanted a system it would not have to migrate away from as it grew, and a partner that shared its plans.
The Solution
Worldwide Supply chose SAP Business One with Third Wave. Third Wave:
- Worked through Worldwide Supply’s business processes, then set up SAP Business One modules and reporting to improve efficiency and visibility
- Set up systems for asset intake and management
- Delivered tailored solutions for an inventory of about $500 million
- Built a set of custom reports for the business
The Results
- Worldwide Supply uses nearly every SAP Business One module and nearly all of Third Wave’s add-ons
- Communication and paperwork are simpler in every department
- Custom reporting makes the business more efficient than it would be without the system
Next, Worldwide Supply plans to keep customizing and automating its processes with Third Wave to support its growth over the next five to seven years.
