Zycko, award winning international distributor of leading edge IT solutions, has selected Strategix OneOffice, the supply chain software and business management platform, to supply and implement its solution in a multinational rollout initially in nine offices across Europe, Africa and North America.
Zycko distributes for over 35 leading IT solutions vendors, enabling its 3,000 plus reseller, systems integrator and service provider customers to deliver best-in-class open-system convergent solutions to customers around the world. Zycko now delivers convergent solutions that touch every part of the business' IT infrastructure - including Accessories & Components, Data Centre, Data Networking, Data Storage and Voice & Video; and offers its channel incomparable professional services and business development support.
Operating from 13 offices on 4 continents, with over 250 staff, Zycko achieves annual sales of over $180m, and continues to grow.
Concluding that growth was being constrained by its existing business management platform, Zycko set out to find a scalable and proven replacement IT solution that could support planned business development and growth across its multinational operations. Importantly, to contain costs during this expansion, the chosen solution also needed to drive operational efficiencies into the business through the introduction of a series of streamlined processes, in particular a sophisticated method for managing the complexities of holding stock within one main business unit while making it available for direct sale to customers through all of its subsidiaries with very low touch administration.
"We needed a supply chain and business management solution that was proven at solving complex, multi-warehouse, multi-location and multi-currency stock and trading requirements," explained Paul Wignall, Group IT Director at Zycko. "We selected Strategix OneOffice because it comprehensively provides all the features, functions and processes needed to fulfill our multinational operations requirements. They really understood what we needed and demonstrated a commitment to quality throughout".
Ease of integration with existing systems was key to the selection of Strategix OneOffice. "Zycko needed a platform that it could readily integrate with the other existing business systems we use, such as our Siebel Customer Relationship Management solution. This integration not only needs to be operationally seamless but also quick, simple and cost effective for us to implement. Using the tools within the OneOffice collaboration layer and the context-driven functionality of the OneOffice and SmartPoint dashboards, we will be able to provide key business information to any of the current 250 or so users wherever they are in the world and whatever their role".
"We are very pleased to have been chosen as Zycko's supply chain and business software partner and look forward to helping them achieve their demanding multinational business objectives. Over the years, Strategix has earned an enviable reputation for delivering pan-European supply chain solutions and our OneOffice solution is renowned for the depth of the functionality that it delivers in this complex market," said Peter Lusty, Chief Executive of Strategix Software.
