    Highlights

    Mobile Solutions in the Warehouse Speed Up Processes

    The use of handheld scanners allows warehouse movements to be recorded immediately and reflected in the ERP system. This reduces manual work and ensures real-time data.

    CAD Integration with CA-Link

    The CA-Link module enables seamless data exchange between the CAD and ERP environments. Technical drawings and bills of materials are always up to date and available for subsequent work steps.

    Analyzer for Quick Analyses

    With the Proalpha Analyzer, business data can be analyzed and customized in no time. This simplifies controlling and strategic decision-making.

    What was the initial situation?

    Schwank was using an outdated ERP system that was no longer being developed. The processes were complex, partly manual, and not fully digitized. Data quality and transparency did not meet the requirements of a growing company.

    Why the decision for Proalpha?

    Proalpha impressed with its integrated, comprehensive ERP solution, which includes modules for inventory management, CAD integration, and analysis. The provider specializes in small and medium-sized businesses and offers a future-proof platform. In addition, the solution provides a high degree of flexibility and customizable reports.

    How can the  success be measured?

    Today, operations are significantly more efficient and transparent. Warehouse processes run in real time, and business data is analyzed more quickly and in a more customized manner. Delivery capabilities and response times have improved noticeably.

    Proalpha Benefits

    End-to-End Digitization

    All processes are centrally mapped in the ERP system. This ensures transparent workflows and high data quality.

    Increased Efficiency Across the Board

    The switch to Proalpha has significantly accelerated and simplified processes. Media breaks and manual rework have been eliminated.

    Future-Proof Platform

    Proalpha offers flexible expansion options such as a web portal and product configurator. This ensures that Schwank is well-equipped for digital transformation and individual customer requests.
