Industry: Wood
KALT AG is one of the most modern wood processing plants in Switzerland. The company is considered an innovation driver in the wood industry.
Challenge
The long-established company has reinvented itself several times since 1921. What once began as a simple sawmill is now one of the most modern timber framing plants in Switzerland. However, the company’s long history has also brought with it some challenges over time.
Before implementing SAP Business One, the company suffered from the cumbersome use of Word and Excel in administration. Productivity-inhibiting media breaks occurred between production, transport, and administrative staff.
There was also insufficient transparency of information towards customers. All these challenges had to be addressed.
Solution
After a thorough analysis, DATA UNIT recommended the SAP Business One solution, which eliminated dependence on paper and pen as well as the MS Office suite. This allows all information on goods flows, invoicing, and other internal processes to be recorded in a single, integrated suite.
SAP Business One was also ideally suited because it supports the company’s modernization and expansion efforts. Thanks to DATA UNIT, SAP Business One became the perfect ally for KALT AG, and the company can now confidently face all future challenges.
Result
With SAP Business One, KALT AG has managed to digitize almost 100% of its business processes. Thanks to the new ERP system, the production terminals, several robots, and end-customer data are now connected to a single system.
Thanks to their SAP system, the KALT AG team can access and provide information flexibly and quickly in real time. Customers can check the production status online at any time. Furthermore, efficient time tracking within the production process ensures transparency and fast invoicing. CAD production plans and packaging specifications can now also be imported electronically.
Today, KALT AG is ideally positioned to further expand its leadership in the industry.
