Proven client success
Cooper Standard Automotive’s Bowling Green, OH, facility needed to move beyond a labor-intensive, work order based ERP software package. Cooper sought greater inventory accuracy, standardization across all its locations, and to bring its clients current on today’s technologies.
In addition, the Bowling Green facility required advanced Accounts Payable (A/P) controls to secure company funds, blended with easy-to-use automated techniques to process large volumes of invoices, purchase orders and receipts.
The KA solution standardizes their process, bringing all of Cooper Standard Automotive plants to the same level. Benefits to Cooper include increased inventory accuracy, easy disbursement processing using an automated invoice selection approach, timely information for on time shipments, and zero defects.
