    Willi Hahn GmbH

    Willi Hahn GmbH, known as Wiha, was founded in 1939 as a screw and nut factory. To this day, the company manufactures and procures customised fasteners for industry. Wiha is characterised by high-quality connections in every respect. As a supplier with a strong focus on development and a performance leader, Wiha manufactures metallic fasteners and components that meet the highest requirements and certification standards for customers in the B2B sector who operate globally. Wiha also expects its ERP provider to meet these standards. A good connection to and with the ERP system is essential. The ERP provider must be both a solution provider and a development partner for Wiha. This is why Wiha opted for Proalpha ERP in 2019.

    "In the automotive supply industry, the ERP system can make all the difference. In order to find the right solution with the highest acceptance among the workforce, we involved 26 key users in the selection process. 25 voted for Proalpha."

    Katrin Seidemann
    Managing Director, Willi Hahn GmbH

    Highlights

    Complete ERP system with around 40 EDI partner connections

    By integrating numerous customers and partners, Wiha was able to automate communication and interlink processes efficiently.

    Resource planning with Proalpha for overlapping production control

    Thanks to intelligent planning, even short delivery windows of just two weeks can be adhered to reliably.

    Profit center accounting for all locations

    Financial data is now recorded across all locations in one system and evaluated both centrally and individually.

    What was the
    initial situation?

    Wiha previously used an ERP system that could no longer be updated after many adaptations. The automotive industry placed ever-increasing demands on flexibility, quality and standardization. In order to remain competitive, a complete renewal of the ERP landscape was necessary.

    Why the decision
    for Proalpha?

    Proalpha impressed with its comprehensive automotive expertise and the opportunity to grow with the company. 26 key users were involved in the selection process, 25 of whom opted for Proalpha. The good update capability and the many additional modules already developed were also decisive factors.

    How can success be measured?

    The success is reflected in a significant increase in scheduling and production efficiency. Despite short delivery times, customer requirements can be reliably fulfilled. Furthermore, process automation and a central database ensure transparency and long-term competitiveness.
