Background and History
For over 100 years, Yokohama has been a world leader in the development of outstanding tire designs and technology, giving drivers better control on the road. Since its establishment in 1917, they have devoted themselves to advancing the leading edge of the industry.
The Problem
Yokohama was using manual processes to create and approve custom pricing quotes, despite having several line-of-business systems deployed.
Their challenges were:
- Manual processes were time consuming for staff
- Cross-company collaboration was difficult
- They lacked visibility into their business processes
Our Solution
Spot Solutions connected these systems via Microsoft SharePoint. The expertly developed custom system was then fully integrated with our client’s ERP system, JD Edwards, improving their competitive advantage and profitability.
The Impact
Spot Solutions was able to help Yokohama achieve an 89% reduction in process cycle time.
Now they have:
- Improved visibility into business processes
- Cross-company collaboration
- Increased staff productivity
“Spot is a valuable partner in helping us to maximize the value of our investment in SharePoint. We have worked with them on multiple projects and will continue to work with them because they are very thorough, professional and easy to work with.”
