MORE THAN A SOFTWARE CHANGE
Sleepwell Industries Customer Story
Replacing a costly ERP environment with a more flexible AutoCount workflow—without losing the assembly, reporting and operational controls needed for daily work.
Business Background
A manufacturer that needed flexibility without the higher ERP cost.
Sleepwell Industries Co Ltd specialises in mattresses, bedding products and sleep solutions. The company previously relied on Exact ERP, which supported its core processes but had become a significant maintenance and operating-cost concern.
The migration objective
Because Sleepwell is based in Thailand, the project was not mainly driven by Malaysia’s e-Invoice requirements. The focus was to adopt a more cost-effective platform while preserving the operational flexibility required for assembly, financial reporting and internal monitoring.
- Reduce dependency on a higher-cost ERP environment
- Keep established assembly and reporting workflows
- Improve visibility for management and finance users
- Make daily checking more practical
Why a standard implementation was not enough
Sleepwell’s existing documents, reports and workflows were closely connected to how staff performed their work. A simple replacement of accounting screens would not preserve the assembly and reporting processes the company depended on.
Finance users also needed a faster way to review information without opening individual invoices one by one.
Operational Challenge
The system had to change without disrupting the way the business worked.
The project was not only a software migration. It required careful preservation and improvement of the processes used by operations, finance and management.
1
Higher operating cost
The previous ERP environment created maintenance and operating-cost concerns.
2
Special assembly needs
Assembly-related processes had to continue in a form that matched established requirements.
3
Fragmented checking
Finance users needed to review information without opening separate invoices and documents individually.
Customised AutoCount Implementation
AutoCount was configured around Sleepwell's real operational and financial workflow.
The implementation combined migration with targeted customisation, allowing the company to keep important controls while making information easier to access and review.
Solution focus
Instead of forcing the business into a generic setup, the system was adapted to support the specific workflows and reporting requirements identified during the project.
- Assembly-related enhancements
- Custom financial and operational reports
- Consolidated information view
- Source cost of goods sold tracking
- RMA and Billing Note customisation
- Sales Order-to-Invoice monitoring
- Export-to-Excel support
