"With Proalpha, we have succeeded in implementing a constant exchange of information and data between all production-relevant systems."
Frank Jung
Deputy ERP Project Manager, KWM WEISSHAAR
KWM was working with numerous individual solutions that were functional but did not provide a consistent view of processes, resources and material flows. The increasing complexity of production made a comprehensive system solution necessary that provides real-time data and supports digitalization consistently.
Proalpha impressed with its industry expertise, integration capability and the ability to fully network machines, warehouses, third-party systems and quality management. Particularly important: a future-proof platform with mobile solutions and the option of remote consulting for APS optimization.
Around 200 individual processes are now mapped with Proalpha - more than 90% of all processes. Mobile devices enable data to be recorded in real time, planning accuracy has been improved noticeably and adherence to schedules is well over 90%. This not only creates transparency, but also competitive advantages.
