Initial situation and challenge
Different internal requests led Haribo France to find an Output Management solution. The company’s users were processing a lot of AS/400 spools and wanted to get documents in Excel. Indeed, they had customer or product files that accounted for more than 1000 pages per month, which was very time-consuming to review and distribute. To resolve this, they needed to receive these documents in a digital format.
Solution presented by Symtrax
In 2003, Haribo first implemented Compleo in 2003 and has regularly updated its configuration to this day.
Haribo France uses the Compleo Explorer module to redesign AS/400 spools sent in Word, Excel, or Access, and then distribute the documents via email in a PDF, Access, or Word format. The solution is related to around 30 applications, some of which have spools of more than 3000 pages, on which they realized some disruptions. This allows them to produce daily, monthly, or yearly reports according to the needs of different departments, from the sales team to management.
Result
The Compleo Supervisor module is used daily to produce reports on demand. From time to time, the user transmits its status to the module, which is placed in a queue and then automatically processed and sent by e-mail.
In addition, the solution has helped them eliminate several matrix printers. While they used to print a lot of listings before, the information from the spools is now sent automatically by email with formatting in PDF format.
