    “Across our six branches, we process a total of about 300 orders per day. Using Proalpha, we’ve already been able to speed up this process by 1.5 workdays, or about 13 percent.”

    Highlights

    Consistent Processes Across Six Countries

    With Proalpha, RONAL Bathrooms was able to fully integrate its international locations into a single system and operate consistently across countries.

    13% faster order entry

    Thanks to automated processes and the Proalpha product configurator, order processing has been accelerated by 1.5 workdays per week.

    ERP and Cloud Infrastructure from a Single Source

    By moving to the cloud, RONAL Bathrooms saves costs, reduces IT overhead, and receives everything centrally from a single provider.

    What was the initial situation?

    RONAL Bathrooms had a centralized IT infrastructure at its parent company, but it had reached its performance limits. The processes were characterized by many manual steps and were only partially scalable internationally. In addition, coordination between different countries and systems was time-consuming and error-prone. There was a need for a unified, future-proof ERP system with a clear structure.

    Why the decision for Proalpha?

    Proalpha stood out for its suitability for medium-sized custom and batch manufacturers with complex processes. The solution enables end-to-end processes across national borders and features a powerful product configurator. Another key factor was the option to obtain both ERP and cloud infrastructure from a single provider. The pilot phase with key users confirmed the solution’s technical and functional suitability.

    How can the success be measured?

    Order entry became 13 percent faster, saving 1.5 workdays per week. Duplication of effort in sales and production was eliminated through integration. Employee satisfaction rose significantly, and even users who were previously skeptical now recognize the added value. In the future, RONAL Bathrooms aims to save four workdays across the entire process chain - a clear and measurable goal.
