ST. PAUL, Minn. (April 10, 2008) – Lawson Software (Nasdaq: LWSN) announced today that it has successfully helped Tianjin Shengxing Furniture Co. Ltd implement the Lawson M3 Furniture Industry ERP solution. With this suite of applications specially designed for the furniture industry, Shengxing Furniture has successfully optimized its business process including sales, planning, production, purchase, warehousing and finance, thereby reducing costs, improving product quality and on-time delivery performance.
Shengxing Furniture is the largest metal furniture maker in north China, and is primarily engaged in metal, glass, wooden, marble and fiberglass products. With a good overseas reputation, all of its products are exported, with over 70% to Europe and North America.
As a large-scaled local enterprise with annual operation revenue of over US$300 million, Shengxing Furniture has over 1,800 employees and is still in the stage of rapid growth. It needed an advanced information system to help manage operations, control costs, increase workflow efficiency and on-time delivery as well as improve product quality.
Using the Lawson M3 suite of applications, Shengxing Furniture created a supply chain platform across different functions of the company for more effective collaboration and information sharing. This optimized and beefed up its business processes, which included sales, planning, purchase, production and finance.
“By learning from Lawson’s leading international management mode and making use of its advanced information system, we have built up our own enterprise system that allows us to reduce costs, improve operation efficiency, speed up service and optimize our human resources, said Wu Xiyao, manager of the consulting department with Shengxing Furniture.
“We are privileged to contribute our industry experiences to Shengxing Furniture’s project. Lawson is dedicated to create products such as the Lawson M3 solution, which are easier to implement, use, and maintain, which can bring more value to our customers at a comprehensively lower cost of ownership over the lifetime of the solution, said David Hope, VP and regional managing director, Asia & Japan, Lawson Software.
