Microsoft Dynamics NAV in production and trade of screws.

Success Story:

The work of the producer and supplier HIP Homann Import & Produktions GmbH & Co. KG from Altenberge revolves around the screw. The stock of the company is huge. Extensive assembly services, from screw bags to complete assembly packages, complement the range.

For a long time, the ERP of the company consisted of isolated applications. In order to increase the transparency and efficiency of the business, HIP decided in 2008 for the software introduction with anaptis. The introduction has resulted in a trusting and long-term cooperation.

Initial situation

“Our IT-environment was characterized by isolated applications, with which we worked on the individual tasks individually. For example, we used

the Sage software for the merchandise management,
the Datev software for the accounting,
and have numerous invoices, documents and reports on top.

The latter had reached a level that could no longer be mastered with our old office software. We urgently needed a new solution to ensure an efficient and orderly process of all processes. When selecting an IT service provider, it was important to us that, in addition to the ERP solution, comprehensive support for our entire IT landscape (network and hardware) is guaranteed from a single source.“

Challenges/Wishes at a glance:

replacement of different stand-alone solutions with one system
comprehensive support of our entire IT landscape (network and hardware) from a single source

Objective

“Our goal was to replace the many isolated solutions, we currently had in use, with a comprehensive solution. In addition, the solution should enable a smooth inventory management and procurement process as working at two locations is a logistical challenge.”

Result

„With anaptis, we have found a long-term partner for the construction and further development of our IT landscape. Over the years, the collaboration has contributed significantly to the successful growth of our company. What used to be idle hand-work (for example, price adjustments for individual customers and groups of ac-counts for loose and prefabricated items), is now fully automated and no longer dependent on people thanks to Dynamics NAV. The procedures are much easier, faster and, above all, it is much less common to make mistakes. Anaptis has optimized the functions for the pricing and the entire inventory management – from the procurement through the sale up to the production of business figures.“
