Electrónica Elemón S.A. previously used an old DOS-based version of local software Stradivarius for which updates were no longer available. In 2001, during a combination of economic, political and social circumstances affecting Argentina, the company decided in favour of a new business solution.![]() | “We decided that it was the right moment for changing the system,” remembers vice-president Daniel Garbarino. “When evaluating Enterprise by HansaWorld, I was very impressed with the possibility of obtaining a deeper analysis of future profit from the Sales Order. This was the kind of information and analysis that was not available with our previous solution.” |
Some of the reasons that helped in choosing Enterprise were:
- Customer-orientation
- User-friendliness, a graphic user interface
- Great cost – price relationship
- Reliable integration in all the modules
- Integration of CRM to ERP
New beginnings with HansaWorld
When carrying out the implementation, customisations were programmed to fulfill the requirements for costs calculations on several currencies - this was a top priority considering that Electrónica Elemón had suppliers from different countries in Asia and Europe, and subjects as the cost control of the items, currency rates and currencies were of relevance.Electrónica Elemón S.A. started working on 3.9 version of Enterprise, and has implemented modules like: Logistics, Purchase Orders and Quotations, Pricing, CRM, Group Calendar. They have 14 named users and 2 concurrent users distributed between the main office and Córdoba branch.
The implementation lasted a year; during this time the custom programmed functions were tested and approved by the customer.
HansaWorld’s dealer employees were in charge of the implementation, training and consulting provided to Electrónica Elemón.
Benefits
“The main result we were expecting was better performance compared with the old system, this was successfully achieved after implementing and stabilising the system,” says Daniel Garbarino.Other benefits were:
- Integration of information from all the modules in the system
- Increased efficiency
- Time savings
- Better customer service
Future Plans
Since the end of 2006, Electrónica Elemón has been a HansaWorld customer straight through HWBA SRL, the regional office of HansaWorld‘s Latin American operations. They displayed their trust in HWBA by starting the migration project from their 3.9 version to the latest 5.1 version of Enterprise. The migration process was finished succesfully in January 2007.“We are using only 70% of our system’s full potential. After the migration to version 5.1 we are conscious that there are lots of functions that we can use in the short term,” commented Daniel Garbarino, referring to the modules of CRM and Expenses, with trainings scheduled for the next coming months.
Other future plans include the development of new export and import processes to work with their website, and at the same time keep control over the information.
