OR YEHUDA, Israel, Dec. 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Magic Software
Enterprises Ltd. (NASDAQ and TASE: MGIC), a global provider of
software platforms for enterprise mobility, cloud applications, and
business integration, announced today that ZF Lemförder SA
(South Africa), part of the German
ZF Group of companies, implemented the Magic xpi Integration
Platform to migrate between ERP systems and to automate the
exchange of data between its local production control system and
its corporate SAP ERP system.
ZF Lemförder's production facilities operate non-stop 24 hours a
day, 5 days a week, producing parts for 350 cars per day. The
Just-in-Time Just-in-Sequence (JIT/JIS) supplier of auto parts to
BMW SA was faced with the challenge of migrating its local ERP
system to the corporate SAP ERP system. To continue its seamless
operations meant that the company also had to replicate the
automatic exchange of order and production data that had previously
existed between its ERP and its local production system.
Today, Magic xpi is used as the hub for the seamless exchange of
client and production information and processes between ZF
Lemförder's corporate SAP system, based in Germany, and its local production system.
Customer order details including bills of material, planned
assembly dates and vehicle details are received via SAP, collected
by Magic xpi and then sent to the local production system. After
the parts are assembled, data is sent via Magic xpi to the SAP ERP
to activate internal processes.
"We selected Magic xpi because of all the time it saves us. Its
prebuilt SAP ERP connector allowed us to work quickly without deep
technical knowledge and its simple web services connectivity
enabled easy integration with our local production system. We
estimated that developing the same functionality with
point-to-point coding could have taken a year, while with Magic xpi
it took only 3 to 5 months, including re-scoping due to the
complexity of the project," said Neels Van Rooyen, ICT Manager at
ZF Lemförder SA. "The ease and reliability of working with Magic
lead us to begin working with Magic xpa, their low code application
development platform. We look forward to working with Magic's
application development and integration solution to create
additional apps to further automate and digitize our business."
"We are proud to provide ZF Lemförder SA with a reliable and
cost-effective system integration platform that enhances the
efficiency of their manufacturing operation," commented
Hedley Hurwitz, Managing Director at
Magic Software South Africa. "ZF Lemförder is an example of the
increasing number of companies that are relying on Magic's
End-to-End Enterprise Mobility Solution to increase competitiveness
in the digital economy."
