Franklins Shows That Integrated ERP Is Crucial To Successful Manufacturing in the Textile arena….

Founded in 1837 in Coventry as silk weavers, the Franklins Group now operates from a 35,000sq.ft complex in Ireland. The group has three divisions, Franklins International, Fergusons Irish Linen and Brownlow, all divisions successfully dealing with clients nationally and internationally. The Company enjoys an enviable reputation among both customers and competitors for manufacturing a quality product supported by an efficient customer service.
Franklins International Ltd. specialises in the manufacture of quality woven and embroidered badges, supplying to youth organisations and commercial companies at local, national and international levels within the sports, industrial, fashion and promotion markets.
Fergusons Irish Linen is widely acknowledged as the finest linen weaver in the world. This division offers table linen ranges, including exquisite Linen Double Damask, luxurious bed linen, chic bathrobes and stylish towels and accessories. Brownlow specializes in fine household linens with a strong ethnic Irish appeal.

The problem facing many manufacturing companies today is that sustaining growth and customers requires that the business is managed in the most efficient way possible; ageing IT and software systems often means that companies are hindered by a lack of integration across their business. This was the case with Franklins- poor reporting and lack of integration between their accounts and manufacturing systems was hindering decision making across the three divisions. Franklins recognised that in order to stay at the forefront of their market place they would need to improve their internal business tools.

Being able to implement a new ERP solution quickly and efficiently across a business is key to delivering return on investment. Franklin's timescales of six months for implementation meant they looked for a company who knew their industry and had a proven track record of successful implementations.

Ralph Bauer, Franklin's Chairman commented "It was Syscom's knowledge of our industry that attracted us to their product. Their solution, SyscomERP, gives us the integrated solution that will allow us to gain key business information across all our divisions within our agreed timescales"
