Experience sharing

Before A1 system implemented

Three systems + labor: 1. Google Calendar + 2. SuperHelper (Approval, errands, requests, purchases, warehouse) + 3. A small ERP package software (export invoice, 4 users only)
Company has over 30 people, but only 4 handle information, causing bottleneck, gaps, and misunderstandings.
Data transfer between systems is manual (delay and error risk)
Inventory check depends on warehouse manager

After A1 system implemented

Business intelligence (real-time monitoring of organizational changes)
Track all cash, logistics, and information flows (sign-off form)
Errand service, equipment & space reservation
All employees can use requisitions, purchases, quotes, orders, etc.
Automatic link of quotes, orders, shipments, etc.
Automatic financial reports
Project management (Manage expense, material, trip, hours, etc.)
Complete product development system

Anchor Fasteners Vietnam

Anchor's Vietnam factory used to produce and export construction fasteners. Anchor VN faced losses due to mainland China's low cost. To avoid competition, Anchor implemented A1 system since 2014 and switched to domestic sales of automotive and motorcycle fasteners, becoming the main supplier of HONDA and Yamaha in VN. Anchor is also now expanded to the Southeast Asian market.

Anchor VN upgraded, transformed and successfully became the main supplier of motorcycle screws for HONDA and YAMAHA in VN

Experience sharing

Before A1 system implemented

The company needed to improve for the automotive factory's QDC demands. The existing ERP system from a Taiwanese IT company was inadequate because of :

Rigid modules and high customization costs.
Non-web-based nature, hard to integrate with the northern VN warehouse.
User limits and increased costs for more users.
Unfriendly interface without Chinese-Vietnamese language support.

Most ERP experts were Taiwanese, making VN training expensive. The company is now fully localized with VN staff, but this raised communication costs for training and usage.

After A1 system implemented

We used A1 System fully supported by professional Vietnamese staff. A1 System is very flexible. It helped us upgrade and transform, as follows :

Project, data, and quality systems meet customer needs, building trust.
Manage materials, process cards, QR codes, real-time reports, and JIT production, improving delivery accuracy.
Payroll system automates insurance and salary with fingerprint time clocks.
Sales cost system reduces errors and makes financial reports automatically.
Web-based access without user limits.
Chinese-Vietnamese bilingual interface simplifies usage, enabling Vietnamese instructors to lower implementation costs.

Fortunately, We found A2 Automation Group founded by Dr. Kenneth S. Chen in Vietnam. All the company’s employees are professionally trained Vietnamese.

“Before the digital transformation, we had used and evaluated some well-known package systems for more than 10 years, yet those packages were unable to fit our needs in a timely manner. A1 system is very affordable and user friendly.”

- Mr. Shih Po Chang - General Manager of Anchor Fastner Vietnam
