5. Challenge/Pain Points Summary
Lot Control & Part Traceability
We needed to have FULL lot control from raw to finished goods
Streamlined, Flexible Transactions
We needed to eliminate manual entry and additional steps required to perform a transaction
User Interface
We wanted to replicate our old, existing UI that our users were familiar and comfortable with

6. ITW Profile Implemented in 2013 Solutions 24 Radley Devices
Barcode Data Collection
Product Traceability utilizing IntelliLabel®
24 Radley Devices
“Replacing our home grown system…it would not have worked without the union of QAD and Radley”

7. Extending QAD Functionality
Part Traceability & Lot Controlled Backflush
Control
Standard QAD functionality didn’t provide the level of control over the lot logic that we needed from raw to finished goods
All Traceability in Radley
Tracking Lot/Heat
Automated Stamping Process
Assembly Process
Tracking Lot/Heat
Heat = Supplier Lot in QAD
Stamping process creates bins with thousands of parts (screws)
Material is backflushed against coil
Assembly Process separates bins into boxes with additional components which are then placed on skids. (manual)
Some customers require specific labels
Automated Stamping Process
Multiple versions of the Unplanned Issue/Receipt transactions allow for entry of: Gross/Tare pounds with the net pieces being issued or received, pounds converted to pieces to be issued or received and pieces being issued/received.
When scanned, IntelliLabel is added to QAD W.O.
Automated Backflush
Assembly Process
Customer specific master and detail assembly labels are generated/printed in batch for a skid
Work Order Receipt – reports inventory and backflush by lot for primary components and FIFO for other components.
Skids can be viewed/split/manipulated using the Intellilabel Maintenance and Intellilabel Inquiry

8. Extending QAD Functionality
Configurable Functionality
Flexibility
Prior to implementing QAD, we used a custom system developed specifically to meet our needs
We attempted to mimic our existing processes in QAD, but would have required significant customizations without Radley
Automated QAD Transactions
Radley helped us to streamline time consuming transactions to be more efficient and configure them to fit our existing processes
Incoming Receipt | PO Label Print | Location Transfer by Net Weight | Reset Bin Pounds | Shipper Workbench | Mixed Customer Labels | Mfg Bin Entry | Assembly Production | Work Order Maintenance

9. Extending QAD Functionality
User Interface
Easy to Use
Our users were accustomed to a very simple UI in our old custom system, QAD’s cumbersome transactions presented a challenge in training our workforce doing machine operation and production on the floor
Radley allowed us to harness their automated transaction functionality, but using our own existing UI
“Teaching our users to perform the transactions within QAD would have been a HUGE learning curve…”

10. Extending QAD Functionality
Integration with other systems
Radley’s open architecture
We wrote a communication proxy to send transaction data to Radley from other applications
Examples:
Supplier ASN website; Subcontract ship/receive

11. Extending QAD Functionality
Integration with other systems

“We have integrated over 10 external systems to QAD via Radley…it bridged our Progress and SQL data

12. Benefits
Business Impact
Gained the ability to configure our workflows to our specific business process, not QAD’s
Added additional lot control functionality without customizing QAD
Minimized learning curve & prevented need for additional labor
“All these little things that add up to being much more efficient in our daily operations…”

16. Challenge/Pain Points Summary
Budget Constraints
There was a need for an automated EDI process, however the costs associated to an QAD EDI engagement wasn’t within our budget
Staff Bandwidth
A QAD EDI implementation was going to require substantial resources
Inefficient Inventory Process
Manually tracking and lack of traceability created slowdowns in our process

17. Shield Profile QAD Implemented in 2007 Radley iCARas EDI in 2009
Radley Data Collection in 2012

18. Extending QAD Functionality
Full Service EDI Solution Without Breaking the Bank
EDI Budget
Radley provided a turn-key solution that was implemented quickly and at a fraction of the cost
Implementation included set-up and mapping of trading partners
Open architecture allowed us to create a simple data transfer from Radley to QAD
Radley EDI is a full service solution, not a consulting engagement…
