Situation at JB Poindexter & Company, Inc.

JB Poindexter, Company, Inc. (JBPCO) is a business enterprise that provides commercial automotive and manufacturing goods and services. In their business of commercial automotive services, a smooth and efficient ordering process is a basic requirement. JBPCO utilized a time-consuming manual method of overseeing its vehicle ordering process. Their paper-based process for fulfilling vehicle requests from their distribution centers was inefficient and expensive. Additionally, they wanted to:

  • Automate bailment pool processes, starting with report downloads from Ford and GM
  • Allow data to be pushed to AS400 or JDE, depending on the configuration
  • Run automation at scheduled times, making data available to teams at the start of the day’s business
  • Eliminate manual tasks through automation

AST was instrumental in assisting us in the implementation of our RPA Center of Excellence (CoE). The AST team worked with us to develop, fine tune and integrate the process into our existing software development process, while at the same time quickly completing high priority RPA projects that provided immediate benefits. We look forward to continuing our partnership with AST on this strategic initiative.”
