Reference customer: JST (UK)
Supporting a top global electronics manufacturer
JST (UK) is a leading distribution business that supplies electrical connectors and terminals to the UK and European markets, with products manufactured globally by the JST Group. In addition to its distribution operations, JST (UK) also boasts an in-house manufacturing capability, producing wire loom sub-assemblies for a diverse range of applications, from headphones to domestic heating systems.
Challenges
JST (UK) was in search of an ERP system that could enhance their operational efficiency by improving visibility of stock, Available-to-Promise (ATP), and Capable-to-Promise (CTP). Handling inventory manually, particularly the shared stock needed by both the external distribution clients and the internal production crew, posed a considerable hurdle for the Sales and Purchasing teams.
After thorough evaluation, JST (UK) selected RamBase Cloud ERP as their new business solution. This choice was driven by RamBase's capability to streamline inventory management and provide real-time visibility into stock levels, thus enhancing overall operational efficiency and reducing manual workloads.
The outcome
Stock control
Transitioning from manual stock updates to utilizing a dual - warehouse approach optimizes order and inventory management for both distribution and in-house manufacturing.
Accurate lead times
Using a Lead Time Calculator for the production process to precisely estimate manufacturing durations, taking into account current inventory levels and the lead times of your suppliers.
Supply chain visibility
The sales team can now check stock levels during customer interactions, ensuring improved delivery times. When ordering stock, visibility is enhanced as purchase orders can be linked to sales orders.
Better tracebility
Implementing supplier and customer part numbers (aliases) for JST (UK) parts streamlined inventory management and ordering processes, eliminating the need to change part numbers.
“Because our clients expect a high level of quality from our products, our service and the technology we develop, it’s important that we have a system that supports that ethos – and RamBase does that from the very start”, says General Manager at JST, Mike Bowen.

“The market is absolutely saturated with systems, and some of them are really good, but many seemed to fail on a number of aspects that were absolutely essential to us, but RamBase ticked all the boxes for us.”
