Did you implement something in JD Edwards more than 10 years ago? Did you make design decisions back then that you now wish you could revisit due to technical debt? You’re not alone!

Batesville implemented JD Edwards Configurator over a decade ago, and with years of growth and change, they started encountering limitations. After considering various options with their partner, ERP Suites, Batesville decided that reimplementing the configurator was the best solution.

By combining Batesville's deep knowledge of their products with ERP Suites' expertise in JD Edwards and Configurator, we reimplemented configurator for Batesville's newest and fastest-growing product line in under four months! This required creating new item masters, item branches, and new configurations for hundreds of items and doing it all in minutes for cutover weekend. How did the team achieve this? Through hard work, teamwork, and significant help from the JDE Orchestrator!

Join us in this session to learn how a company using JD Edwards for over a decade reassessed their processes, configuration, and master data. Instead of replacing a great tool, they invested in reimplementing it to match their current business needs, unlocking tremendous value, and learning a ton in the process!

Printpack Incorporate is a manufacturer of flexible and rigid packaging headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. Printpack utilizes multiple contract manufacturers to meet our growing and diverse customer demands. One of the biggest challenges with the contract manufacturing process was the inability to effectively communicate the production data (good footage and waste) via standard email. Today, Printpack has been able to streamline the contract manufacturing process via technology and integration solutions.

The solutions have allowed better visibility and traceability to Printpack and the vendor process.
Objective 1: Provides options (internet portal and file integration) to better accommodate the vendors' production situation.
Objective 2: Provides improved material packaging and labeling (barcode/QR code) for better scannable data for inventory for the vendor.
Objective 3: Provides production accuracy by our vendor to Printpack, which allows improved three-way match/validation for payment.
