Ferrelec Uruguay S.A., a strong enterprise dedicated to the construction, developed and incorporated a computer system to automate the purchase and stock management. The enterprise works with a variety of industries like high-tension cable displays, street lighting, drainage, gas nets, buildings, public housing and many others.
The director of the company, Eng. Alberto Dolsan, outlined, "In a highly competitive market, it is very important to maintain a very agile and small structure. This can only be achieved by using a computer system of important development, which allows minimizing the man-hours invested in the management and control".
Ferrelec Uruguay S.A. counts on several work shops and warehouses in different places throughout the country that are all connected to the central system through regular telephonic lines.
The computer system was designed, developed and installed by ‘Eng.
Alvaro de León & Asociados’, an ARTech Solution Partner. The system has been successfully functioning since 1999.
The system was created in order to minimize the manual intervention, and to make the purchase and management of stock more agile. Each purchase’s history is stored, having an instant access to the prices. The system counts on electronic authorizations for many different events; it issues the documents that have to be sent to the suppliers and has a considerable quantity of queries regarding the data, which is housed. An auditory module allows seeing and following the purchases per supplier, price, date, goods and other options; all the events are recorded with the user name, the date and the time of authorization.
It is necessary to point out that the process of implementation within the system itself if one of very high quality, running in the ISO 9000 rule environment, and the developed software has made even more important improvements in this regard.
