| Imagine yourself on the golf course, no
pulling carts or carrying bags, but using a remote control
to guide your golf clubs along with you through your 18
holes of golf. The Dyna Steer 2000 by Lectronic Kaddy
is definitely a device that would let you save all of
your energy for the game. |
Since Lectronic Kaddy's inception in 1990, they have been
helping golfers focus on their game and have been a leader
in the development of radio controlled golf carts. Since
their beginning, they have also used the complete ERP/MRP
Minotaur Business System to manage their business--joining
the financial and customer service aspects of their company
to the product development, manufacturing and distribution
aspects. During this time, Lectronic Kaddy has come to
appreciate the great benefits of having one tool, one
software solution that helps them manage their entire
operation. |
Each day they are able to produce reports that identify
what needs to be produced (from customer orders), what
materials are required for that production (based on materials
planning) and time lines of when each part of the production
needs to be manufactured by to meet order deadlines. Besides
having chosen the basic modules that best met their business
needs, such as Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable,
Manufacturing, etc. Lectronic Kaddy also instituted the
Minotaur Service Module, which allowed them to track all
warranty work that is done on any of their products. Whether
the product was sold in Ontario or British Columbia, they
have been able to track by serial number of the product,
what kind of warranty service has been performed, what
province the service was done in, etc. This information
recently saved them a lot of money. |
During a recent routine Provincial Government audit, Lectronic
Kaddy was informed that they owed money in PST on warranty
work they had completed since 1998, even though no money
was charged to customers for the work, the labour time
associated with the work done was apparently subject to
tax. They turned to their Minotaur Business System to
help them reduce this amount owed by pulling up the details
of all the warranty work performed since 1998, which told
them what province the work was done in, how much freight
was charged etc. This information allowed them to subtract
all the warranty work done outside of Ontario and reduce
the amount owed by 70%. |
If Lectronic Kaddy had been using a manual or basic ERP
system, there would have been no way for them to recall
this information, and they would have been forced to pay
the entire amount requested by the Provincial Government.
They are very glad today that they made the choice to
install a fully integrated Minotaur Business System twelve
years ago. |
