Kulmbach-based update Solutions AG has been awarded a contract for implementation of the ERP (enterprise resource planning) and 'VlexPlus – Semiramis inside' variant solution, which was jointly developed with Swing.
Linhardt Stanzformen is seeking to optimize the diversity of its product variants in the future while taking the consistency of its entire processes within the company to an even higher level. This could no longer reasonably be done using the old system. 'So we went looking for a new ERP system. What was important for us was to find a system that uses cutting-edge technology and can also cover our content-related requirements with regard to variants. Our choice was ‘VlexPlus - Semiramis inside’ and update Solutions AG,' says Nikolaus Linhardt, owner and managing director.
In addition to the functional aspects of the application, it was equally important to find a partner like update who has been a successful provider to small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) for many years, who understands the needs of SMEs, and who knows a great deal about the metal machining and processing industry. Well-known references and a favorable cost-benefit ratio also played a key role in the decision to award the contract.
