— EDI & ERP-ONE SupervisorNaxos of America
Founded in 1987, Naxos of America—the largest distributor of classical music CDs in North America—recognized that the industry was being revolu� onized around them with the rise of digital music technology. As a result, purchasing strategies have changed over � me necessita� ng the ability for quick transi� on. Naxos transformed their business model to off er both CDs and digital music while focusing on direct consumer rela� onships.
Using ERP-ONE has allowed Naxos to speed up manual departmental processes through the lens of hyper-accuracy. As noted by the EDI & ERP-ONE Supervisor, “Ordering abili� es have developed from hand entering addresses, items, and shipping requests to literally being able to import the informa� on at the touch of a bu� on. This has increased the number of orders entered and processed daily, decreased the receipt � me, and increased customer sa� sfac� on.”
Because of the increase in order processing, “Strategies were put into place that allowed our warehouse to pick mul� ple orders at once, reducing the processing � me.” As a result, Naxos saw their pick/pack effi ciency rise an astonishing 400%. Having over 4 million pieces of inventory didn’t stop Naxos from achieving 99.8% accuracy with ERP-ONE.
Due to the user-friendly design of ERP-ONE, Naxos was able to train part-� me warehouse personnel in just 45 minutes. The fl exibility of the system made it easy to grasp and reduced the learning curve.
The culmina� on of these new effi ciencies allowed for major expansion including moving from a 15,000 square foot warehouse to one triple the size. Naxos is s� ll adding 5000 new SKUs a year as it con� nues to serve the classical music niche with its future-thinking strategy.
