Description of the ERP project:
In an export company with such a wide range of products such as SMW-AUTOBLOK, the
sales side is of great significance. Not only the sales processes were optimized with the
implementation of abas ERP, significant improvements can also be recognized in other
areas of the business: lower production lead times, improved machine load, increased
transparency. The production is transparent, free capacity or bottlenecks are displayed
clearly. Already running orders can be edited, e.g. concerning machine and time, only the job
ticket is printed. The integrated PDC system is completely sufficient for the requirements of
SMW-AUTOBLOK. The abas infosystems provide extensive options in all areas to quickly and
clearly evaluate the data.

”After many years of cooperative working with ABAS I can still to this day say:
it was the right decision to make. We started after a nine month preparation period
with 40 licenses in the old ASCII interface and an IT department with 1.5 people.
Now we work with 80 licenses in the modern graphical interface which
has many new options. The annual upgrades are imported without problems and
our individual adjustments remain. The IT department still consists of only 1.5 people.“
