    Highlights

    Seamless Data Flow Across National Borders

    The Intercompany module ensures an automated flow of information between PohlCon and its international branches. This includes the real-time transmission of orders and the retrieval of status information.

    Customized Extensions for Industry-Specific Requirements

    Thanks to a proprietary construction billing module and a specialized quotation calculation tool, PohlCon was able to efficiently handle even complex ancillary construction projects.

    Centralized High-Volume Document Management

    With Proalpha DMS, approximately 6,000 invoices and other documents - now totaling over two terabytes of data - are securely archived each month.

    What was the initial situation?

    PohlCon originally consisted of several individual companies with a heterogeneous IT landscape. There was no centralized solution for financial accounting, cost accounting, and quote calculation. The complexity of the business initially made a standard solution unlikely.

    Why the decision for Proalpha?

    Proalpha was able to meet a surprisingly large number of requirements right away. The system's high flexibility was just as impressive as the consultants' expertise. The solution promised rigor and a new dynamic for the IT infrastructure.

    How can the success be measured?

    418 users are actively working with the system, both nationally and internationally. Processes are running more efficiently, sources of error have been reduced, and data analysis provides valuable insights. Employee satisfaction confirms the system’s success.

    Proalpha Benefits

    High Flexibility in System Customization

    Proalpha can be customized to fit a company’s specific business processes. This allows challenges to be addressed while staying close to the standard.

    Comprehensive Analysis and Forecasting Capabilities

    Using tools such as the Proalpha Analyzer, QlikView, and the NEMO AI platform, data is intelligently analyzed to enable better decision-making and create greater transparency.

    Security and Transparency Through Workflows and DMS

    Automated workflows ensure that all necessary information - from the product to the invoice - is always available in its entirety and has been verified.
