    Highlights

    Efficiently Managing Product Variants

    Product configurators and design software are directly integrated - every configuration is seamlessly transferred to the ERP system.

    Mobile Warehouse Logistics

    Handheld devices enable efficient order picking and transactions directly in the warehouse. Integration with Lift systems is planned.

    Worker Portal for Paperless Manufacturing

    Browser-based access to bills of materials, drawings, work plans, and direct feedback increases process reliability.

    What was the initial situation?

    Vogelsang was looking for an ERP solution that would connect its globally distributed locations, reliably manage the high variety of product variants in manufacturing, and at the same time lay the foundation for growth and digitalization - from design to mobile warehouse logistics.

    Why the decision for Proalpha?

    Proalpha impressed with its standards proven in the SME sector, extensive scalability, and international country-specific versions. End-to-end processes, integration of design software, a worker portal, and mobile logistics made the system the ideal platform for Vogelsang’s ambitious digital strategy.

    How can the success be measured?

    More than 320 users worldwide work with Proalpha. Production is now paperless, warehouse processes are managed on mobile devices, master data is synchronized globally, and on-time delivery has been significantly improved through APS and structured production planning.
