B&C International Selects iBOLT from Magic Software to Streamline Their Procurement Systems
iBOLT Chosen For Completeness of Business Process Functionality and Ease of Use
Irvine, California (November 25, 2003) - Magic Software Enterprises (Nasdaq: MGIC), a leading provider of state-of-the-art business integration and development technology, announced today the closing of another iBOLT deal, with the signing of an iBOLT business process development and integration project with B&C International in The Netherlands.
B&C International specializes in the assembly, sales and distribution of high-quality window fashion products in both made-to-measure and standard sizes. Every year over 2 million windows are decorated with B&C's products. With over 7,000 retailers in its network, B&C is faced with a very complex procurement process. Orders come in many shapes and sizes, with varying volumes, large quantities of raw materials and semi-manufactured products. iBOLT (www.magicsoftware.com/ibolt) will be used, initially, to streamline the efficient process of ordering and payment for materials purchased to fulfill these product orders.
“iBOLT provides us with an easy way to develop, integrate and manage complex systems from within one environment and enables us to quickly address our most mission critical business process requirements,” says Herman Bult, Manager ICT, at B&C International. “iBOLT’s strong development capability ensures us the ability to automate future business processes, to leverage emerging technologies and to meet our standards and business needs. In addition, the iBOLT Portal technology allows us to open our data and processes to our subsidiaries abroad. “
The first iBOLT project at B&C will integrate vendor procurement information, output by an Alchemy document imaging system, with data from an IBS/Consist financial application running on IBM’s iSeries platform. The invoices received will be automatically compared to the original procurement data and forward to accounts payable upon approval. B&C expects to implement iBOLT company wide once this project is completed successfully.
"iBOLT integrates business processes in functional areas such as manufacturing, finance and purchasing, enabling more efficient processing of invoices and making it easier for vendors and customers to interact,” said Regev Yativ, Managing Director of Magic Europe. “The key to streamlining manufacturing and procurement systems is the ability to model and automate business processes. B&C will use iBOLT to enhance their order management systems, to automate purchase order processing across multiple systems and locations, in order to give their vendors a real-time view of orders and inventory.”
B&C international joins a growing list of companies and system integrators around the world who have, during this year, adopted Magic Software's iBOLT as their platform of choice for business integration and process management.
