The Challenge

The Challenge

Before implementing Priority ERP, Gevasol faced significant challenges in managing its complex and expansive operations. The primary manufacturing site in the Netherlands, along with other entities spread across the globe, struggled with disparate systems that hindered efficient data flow and process management. The lack of a unified system led to inefficiencies, increased manual work, and difficulties in maintaining consistent communication across different departments and locations. The complexity of their operations, coupled with the need for multi-company, multi-currency and multi-language support, further highlighted these challenges.

The Solution

The Solution

Gevasol chose to migrate its largest manufacturing site in the Netherlands to Priority ERP, eventually extending the implementation across all entities within the division. Priority ERP provided an intuitive and easy-to-learn platform that required minimal training. The system enabled seamless integration of high-level data analysis with detailed drill-down capabilities, allowing for a comprehensive and real-time view of operations. By streamlining processes and moving towards a paperless environment, Priority ERP ensured that all information flowed efficiently. The tailored screens for different departments facilitated clear task management, enhancing overall productivity. Priority ERP’s support for multiple languages and currencies ensured that Gevasol could maintain uniformity and coherence in its global operations.

The Result

The Result

The implementation of Priority ERP at Gevasol B.V. resulted in a significant transformation of their operational efficiency and control. The smooth transition to the new system and its intuitive interface allowed the team to quickly adapt and leverage its capabilities. With all entities within the division now on the same platform, Gevasol achieved a unified and cohesive operational framework.

Today Gevasol leverages Priority’s extended ERP features, including automatic warehouse operation with VLM (Vertical Lift Module), production data acquisition (PDA), and the use of tablets for production reporting. The open architecture facilitates APIs for internal and external communication for order management, including automatic purchase orders. The MRP module helps them automatically compare demand and supply with materials, and Kanban requirements monitoring supports just-in-time manufacturing.

The ability to access and analyze data in real-time provided the management team with valuable insights, leading to better decision-making and enhanced responsiveness to the dynamic market environment. The paperless processes and streamlined task management contributed to increased productivity and reduced manual errors. Overall, Priority ERP enabled Gevasol to operate with greater agility and precision, ensuring sustained growth and success in their industry.

“For me as a plant manager, it's all about being in control and feels very natural for me to work with priority. We are operating in a very quickly changing environment. Priority clearly is a system that is intuitive and has the ability to change with us.”
