San Ramon, CA - April 2, 2003 - Nsite today announced that St. John Knits (SJKI.OB) has joined the growing wave of new customers seeking increased business effectiveness through automation of manual processes. St. John Knits has completed implementation of their invoice and purchase request approval processes on Nsite and is exploring other opportunities to deploy the Nsite.
Having recently completed 40 years in business, St. John Knits is firmly established as a premier name in American fashion, and is poised to enter an exciting new stage in its growth as an international company. "As the company expands, it is increasingly important to implement solutions that help expedite processes and improve management control," said St. John Knits CIO Scott Huckleberry. With more than 4,000 people worldwide and numerous facilities, manual processes inevitably lead to rising cycle times as well as exposure to lost and misplaced documents. Huckleberry looked to Nsite for increased control and productivity while reducing cycle times and paperwork.
"On top of improving our invoice and purchase request approval workflows," Huckleberry said, "Nsite has integrated quickly into my overall operations. Installation and training was completed in a day and a half, and with its strong ties into email, Nsite provides immediate access to geographically dispersed employees. Whether it's process status or management metrics, Nsite is available on demand, around the clock."
This is becoming a familiar refrain at Nsite. "We're quickly becoming the business platform of choice to automate manual process," said Paul Tabet, Chairman and Chief Technology Officer at Nsite. "Our customers want increased productivity and manageability, and they aren't willing to give up any of the flexibility of manual process. Providing this is our sole focus at Nsite, and our growing customer base is witness to our success in this realm."
