Sagra, the drug distribution
company that serves 6,000 clients in Brazil -and also distributes perfumes
through Dimper, another company- runs its entire operation with a system
developed with GeneXus. It has just implemented a Sales Force application for
Pocket PC, developed with the latest version of GeneXus.
Given the accelerated growth of
the company, Sagra adopted GeneXus more than three years ago, when it saw the
need for greater flexibility in the development and modification of applications
to provide customers with a better service. The text environment based systems,
(Clipper) which they had at that time, no longer served the needs of a growing
company.
Along with GeneXus and the Visual
Fox Pro generator, Sagra developed the Sagra Integrated Operation (GIS), an ERP
that issues 11 thousand fiscal notes a day, and operates on an Oracle data base
that stores 70 GB of information.
With the implementation of GIS,
Sagra managed to improve the company's operation by achieving a better
processing of the orders, and more flexibility in the purchase
process.
Besides that, the use of this
system favored stock control, as well as financial control of the company.
"GIS is currently taking care of
all the needs of the company through its constant modifications that accompany the
changes that are constantly being implemented in Sagra and that set the company
apart from its competitors," said Cristovam José Soler, Sagra's IT manager.
On the other hand, Sagra, with the
8.0 version of GeneXus and the Pocket PC generator, developed a Sales Force
system that gives the representatives of the company greater flexibility in the
process of getting orders and controlling clients, as well as greater mobility
to close orders.
Also
with the latest version of GeneXus, the Remofar system was developed, to deal
with electronic orders of clients and representatives.
Heurys Technology,
GeneXus sub-distributor in Brazil, participated as a consultant, supporting with
GeneXus the development of all these systems within Sagra.
