Custom ERP system for Packaging Manufacturer Excel to custom Enterprise tool
Project Goal
To move away from numerous Excel Spreadsheets system towards the custom Enterprise tool.
Creators
FROMM Group - market-leading manufacturer with years of experience in developing, selling, and servicing a wide range of handheld tools and automated systems for securing and protecting transport loads worldwide.
Problem to be solved
At some point, the popular solutions to manage the patents-related workflow for the team no longer served. The team used a complex set of Google Spreadsheets, but as the business grew, it became harder and less time-efficient with each new person added to the process. The number of errors and further risks pushed the team to come up with the idea for the custom tool, that we were trusted to implement!
Solution
Win 1 Workflow efficiency +30%
Working together with company managers, we outlined and implemented a system that would be fast and convenient for all employees. By excluding mistakes with manual input, adding history of versions, and patent updates, the solution managed to boost the overall workflow efficiency by 30%.
Win 2 High automation and scalability
Optimized flow doesn't require manual data adding + navigation using filters/groups is simpler than ever. With thought about the future, also we made sure the system would be easy to expand and update with new features making this solution long-lasting.
Win 3 Cost-effective tech solution
To test the concept in action asap, hop over the design step and get a quality solution, we chose moving with Vuexy in combination with Laravel.
