    Highlights

    ERP with Maximum Flexibility

    Proalpha seamlessly adapts to Rala’s complex business models in retail, manufacturing, and services.

    45% of orders placed online

    Through integrated platforms such as Ariba, Coupa, and Simple System, Rala processes nearly half of all orders digitally.

     

    Fully Integrated Warehouse Processes

    The central warehouse, with 45,000 storage locations, is controlled directly from the ERP system to ensure maximum transparency and speed.

    What was the initial situation?

    Rala has grown steadily in terms of its product range, locations, and services. To continue providing customers with reliable and fast delivery in the future, the company needed a centralized system capable of integrating retail, production, e-commerce, and warehouse logistics into a single, end-to-end digital process.

    Why the decision for Proalpha?

    Proalpha stood out as a scalable, comprehensive ERP system that could be customized to meet Rala’s diverse requirements - from EDI integration and paperless order picking to the integration of the company’s in-house warehouse system, including conveyor technology and mobile scanner solutions.

    How can success be measured?

    Today, more than 45% of orders are placed digitally; delivery times are significantly shorter; the error rate has decreased; and, at the same time, inventory accuracy remains outstanding at over 95%. Customers benefit from a reliable supply, high transparency, and maximum process speed.
