    Bürstner GmbH & Co KG

    Bürstner has been developing and producing caravans and motorhomes since 1958. These are geared towards customer requirements and are always at the cutting edge in terms of technology, appearance and functionality. Innovations such as the first caravan with an integrated drop-down bed are among the company's milestones. To this day, the range of caravans and motorhomes is constantly growing - and with it the demand: around 2,500 caravans and around 6,000 motorhomes leave the production facilities every year. To keep the company on the road to success in the long term, Bürstner manages its processes with the complete ERP solution Proalpha.

    Highlights

    Efficient product configuration

    Cross-location intercompany processes

    What was the
    initial situation?

    Bürstner was faced with the challenge of managing a large number of variants in production efficiently. The manual configuration of vehicles and the management of more than 4,000 individual parts led to a high level of effort and susceptibility to errors. In addition, cross-location collaboration made standardized data management difficult.

    Why the decision
    for Proalpha?

    Proalpha impressed with its powerful product configurator and seamless integration with CAD and PDM systems. The ERP solution enables error-free parts list creation, optimized warehousing and efficient production planning. In addition, the intercompany function ensures smooth collaboration between the sites.

    How can success be measured?

    By introducing Proalpha, Bürstner was able to reduce the design effort, minimize sources of error and speed up production processes significantly. The automated creation of parts lists saves time and resources, while the cross-location networking ensures a consistent database.
