Duro Metal Industries migrates to New Web Platform for High Value, Lower Cost.
Duro wanted to migrate from it old foxpro based accounting system to a more sophisticated, web based platform to integrate all its business operations and manage their business in a better way making informed decisions. We have redeveloped the system using our base SandERP system to lower costs and boost business management. Duro expects to save up to 40 percent annually in IT costs and develop stronger customer connections with a web environment that can flex to meet future needs.
The Client
Duro Metal Industrial (M) Sdn Bhd, an MS ISO 9001:2000 accredited Company, is a wholly owned subsidiary of SMPC Corporation Berhad. We specialize on the roll forming of metal roofing and structural products, meant specially for the industrial building and construction industry. All products are manufactured to international standards, such as, ASTM, AS and BS.
The Challenge | Business Needs
For the last 10 years Duro has been using a foxpro based accounting system and as business grows the system was not scalable, flexible and not customizable. Reporting is a nightmare for the company’s accounting staff as it was taking several hours for them to produce reports to top-management and to company auditors. The system had control of stock management, production planning and BOM’s.
Duro had three major critical business needs:
The Solution

The system had control of stock management, production planning and BOM’s.
Duro had three major critical business needs:
- Integrated, scalable, customizable Enterprise wide ERP system that allows them to manage all process of their business including Sales, Inventory, Manufacturing, Accounting and CRM.
- Easy to use, customizable, advanced Reporting System.
- Migration of the entire legacy data to new system
The Solution
This being our first large implementation, all of us (from top-management to developers) were both excited and the same time nervous while signing the deal. We did the following to provide Duro with a integrated, robust system.
Implementing the System
- Careful initial system study of their existing business process and how software is being used and the levels.
- As we already had our in-house base ERP system, SandERP, we made comparisons as to what we had and what is required to develop and enhance in our base system
- The Accounting, Manufacturing systems was enhanced.
- Advanced reporting system has been put in place and several complex reports were developed. The entire sale-plan-procure-manufacture-inventory-deliver process has been done both in Graphical and plain report formats.
- Advanced CRM system has also been integrated to the system. This enabled the Sales team to have better information and top-management on the entire customer life-cycle process.
Legacy Data Migration
This has become the toughest job for us.
- Complete understanding of the legacy data’s data structure.
- Bringing the legacy data to our structured data-template engine
- A combination of automated and manual processes were followed to complete the task. Automated routines we developed to read and write data into the new system.
