PeopleSoft Feeding Enterprise Solutions

The Challenge: Integrating Data Collection with PeopleSoft Enterprise Software
Mizuno USA – the world's largest sporting goods manufacturer – wanted to improve customer service by increasing speed and accuracy. Cook Communications Ministries – a publisher and distributor of Christian communications – needed wireless data collection and an advanced warehouse management solution. DeRoyal Industries – a global supplier of medical products and services – required a solution that could handle more than 5,300 sales order detail lines a day.

All three companies are PeopleSoft (formerly JD Edwards) users. All three turned to dcLINK state-of-the-art data collection solutions from Data Solutions International (DCI). All three are taking advantage of the Loftware technology that dcLINK provides. After all, as the Gartner reports, "Return on investment for ERP implementations at manufacturing companies improves at least 50% when systems for providing accurate, real-time data are also implemented.”

The Solution: Feeding Data to PeopleSoft
dcLINK is one of the only automated data collection systems to integrate RFID, voice recognition and bar codes in a single system. However, the application can capture data only if products are marked. So DCI elected to incorporate Loftware label printing technology as an essential element of its turnkey solutions. Now, Mizuno USA, Cook Communications Ministries, and DeRoyal Industries mark items with the Loftware Print Server, collect data with dcLINK and manage the information at an enterprise level with PeopleSoft.
