Witwood’s production planning process used to be very dependent on the experience and knowledge of individual managers. Sanderson’s MRP module has allowed us to build this experience and knowledge into a “best practice” system that delivers consistent results every time. MRP is also giving a financial payback.

Sanderson, the publicly owned UK provider of manufacturing software has won a contract to supply its Unity ERP solution to narrow fabric manufacturer Selectus, in an initial investment worth over £100k.
Selectus, based in Stoke on Trent, designs and manufactures narrow fabrics and ribbons for functional and decorative products aimed at markets ranging from industrial and technical, to fashion and craft. Unity will provide a cost effective replacement to their previous outgrown system and enable Selectus to increase both their capability and functionality, to meet ambitious growth targets.
After a comprehensive evaluation, Selectus chose the Unity solution because of its ability to improve operations throughout the entire company, delivering benefits within key areas of the business. For example, within the weaving work centres Unity will improve planning, stock accuracy and labour performance, and enable customers to place orders through web portals and track individual order progression.
Implementation of the Sanderson solution will provide Selectus with key management control tools that will enable increased profitability to be achieved through enhanced and proactive planning. Unity will seamlessly absorb existing manufacturing processes at Selectus, protecting current investments and improving efficiency, which will subsequently increase company turnover through service excellence.
Simon Senn, QA & IT Manager, Selectus explains:
“We chose the Unity solution from Sanderson primarily because of its ability to initiate an upturn in company profitability by providing increased operational control whilst simultaneously allowing us to improve and build our relationships with both existing and new customers. Sanderson has the experience and ability to understand our requirements within a manufacturing environment”
Steve Shakespeare, Manufacturing Director at Sanderson concluded:
“We are delighted to supply our Unity solution to Selectus to provide them with greater management control and planning across their organisation. Their decision to invest in Sanderson demonstrates the industry’s confidence in Unity as a solution that meets the needs of businesses today”
