“It’s no big deal to upgrade”

Pictura, Scandinavia’s largest supplier of greeting cards to retailers, invested in Jeeves in 1997. Since then, Pictura has had complete control  over their enormous sales volumes. In order entries, we’re talking 1.4 million or so each year, and that makes tough demands on a smoothly functioning ERP system.

Pictura was founded in 1969 and at first had diverse business activities revolving around the import of yarn and the sale of yarn and knitting descriptions. Since the end of the 1980s, the company has focused solely on greeting cards, wrapping paper, and gifts. Today Pictura is represented in six countries through other companies in the Pictura group and in seven more countries through partly owned companies. Pictura’s products are also distributed in many more countries.

DESIRE TO KEEP UP WITH DEVELOPMENTS

Since Pictura introduced Jeeves in 1997, they have pursued a policy of keeping up with developments. Upgrades are implemented continuously, as Jeeves releases new functionality that supports and streamlines Pictura’s operations.

“We are always working to improve our processes. Right now we are looking at how we could use Jeeves’ module for intercompany transactions to facilitate transactions between companies.

Another exciting area is Jeeves’ Warehouse Management System, which could give us an improved inventory and logistics solution. There are always new and interesting areas to explore,” says Magnus Arpi, vice president of Pictura.
