    Highlights

    Centralized database for all locations worldwide

    All twelve international clients operate within a unified system landscape featuring consistent data and complete transparency across all business processes.

    End-to-End Mapping of the Entire Value Chain

    From quotation to delivery, all processes run seamlessly within the Proalpha system without any media breaks and with a high degree of process reliability.

    Faster and More Predictable System Upgrade in Just Ten Months

    The upgrade to the new system version was implemented efficiently within a clearly defined timeframe and with minimal disruption to ongoing operations.

    What was the initial situation?

    SKS operates internationally with numerous locations and complex business processes. The challenge was to manage data and processes consistently across national borders. In addition, a high level of transparency was required throughout the entire value chain.

    Why the decision for Proalpha?

    Proalpha enables the complete integration of all business processes into a single system. The ability to map international locations to a central database was particularly important. We were also impressed by the comprehensive ecosystem, which offers many additional solutions without the need for third-party systems.

    How can the success be measured?

    This success is reflected in the improved transparency and availability of company data. In addition, opportunities for optimization can be identified, and costs - such as those associated with warehousing - can be reduced. Increased efficiency in international processes and faster decision-making are also measurable results.

    Proalpha Benefits

    Informed decisions through data-driven analysis

    Companies have access to detailed analyses at any time and can specifically identify and capitalize on opportunities for optimization.

    Efficient management of international business processes

    A central platform enables cross-location collaboration and ensures consistent processes worldwide.

    Reducing costs and complexity in the IT landscape

    Integrated solutions and fewer third-party systems reduce maintenance efforts, licensing costs, and technical dependencies.
