The Reality on the Line

Thin Margins, Zero Tolerance. One Slip Is Costly.

Automotive is capital-intensive and low-margin, with OEM customers and safety regulators who do not accept excuses. These are the gaps that quietly cost you a contract, a penalty, or a recall.

Parts You Cannot Trace

When a safety issue surfaces, tracing which part, batch, and supplier went into which vehicle by hand is slow, and slow is exactly what a recall cannot afford.

OEM Orders That Do Not Connect

OEM customers send schedules and releases electronically, and re-keying them by hand invites errors, missed releases, and the line-stoppage penalties that follow.

Margins That Vanish Quietly

In a low-margin business, small drifts in material cost, scrap, or supplier performance turn a profitable part into a loss before anyone notices.

Design Changes Gone Wrong

A revision missed on the line ships the wrong version, and in automotive that means rework, scrap, or a compliance failure you cannot hide.

Quality Paperwork That Piles Up

Customer and industry quality requirements demand documentation, and producing it by hand under audit pressure is slow and error prone.

Recall Risk Across the Supply Chain

Common components shared across products mean a single defect can spread far, and without fast quarantine the damage spreads with it.

Built on SYSPRO

Every Pressure on the Line Has a Module Built to Ease It.

SYSPRO is purpose-built for automotive manufacturing, not adapted from generic business software. Each capability maps to a pressure that costs you a contract, a penalty, or a recall. Mareba switches on the ones your operation actually needs.

Your SYSPRO Can Also Include

Inventory Management Purchase Order Management Supply Chain Portal Return Merchandise Authorization Reporting Services

Lot Traceability and Product Recall

Tracks parts and materials from receipt to delivery across the value chain, so when a safety issue surfaces you can quickly trace, identify, isolate, and report on affected products instead of guessing.

Blanket Sales Orders and Releases

Connects to OEM customer systems with EDI and electronic collaboration, so schedules and releases flow in cleanly and you avoid the line stoppages and delivery penalties that come with manual handling.

Work in Progress

Monitors cost and margin in real time with intelligent tracking of material variations, production costs, and supplier performance, so you protect a thin margin before it slips into a loss.

Engineering Change Control

Automates design change management with version control, so revisions flow through production consistently while maintaining quality standards and ISO compliance.

Quality Management

Builds inspection and quality controls into production and supports the documentation automotive customers expect, so you meet industry standards without the manual paperwork scramble.

Manufacturing Operations Management

Brings advanced planning, scheduling, and shop floor data into one live view, so you keep capital-intensive production running tight and responsive to demand.

The Mareba Difference

A Global ERP, Configured for How You Run and Where You Run It.

SYSPRO gives you the capability. Mareba makes it fit your processes, your statutory rules, and your market, then stays on long after go-live. That is the difference between software you own and software that actually works for you.

Tax and Statutory Compliance, Handled

We configure SYSPRO to meet KRA, VAT, and eTIMS requirements as part of every Kenyan implementation, and the local statutory rules of each market you operate in. Compliance is built into the setup, not bolted on after.
