SAP Business One effortlessly integrates with our WMS thanks to Aiden”
“We chose SAP because it is open software that we can access very easily from other software,” says Leferink. “Also important: SAP Business One is one of the few packages that offers standard solutions for functionalities we were looking for. For instance, it already includes a production module. Convenient, because the production department is very important in our company. The standard modules ensured that Aiden was able to demonstrate something that met our needs very quickly. With other ERP packages, certain things had to be built first. If you opt for that, it remains to be seen whether it will produce the desired results. We did explore other solutions, but the choice actually fell on SAP pretty quickly.”
Having Aiden provide the SAP package was also a very deliberate choice for Arli Group. There were several reasons for this. Leferink: “Aiden is knowledgeable and is in our region. Moreover, they had good referral customers that we visited.”
“We can link clients, as well as other software, to our system. We need Aiden to realize those links. But they are also there for us when a problem arises. They identify these and solve them quickly and adequately for us. Our business can then continue to run as usual. We work very well together in that respect”.
Good collaboration
It is an important and costly investment for almost all businesses: a new, comprehensive software platform that intervenes in virtually all business processes. According to Leferink, SAP offers every opportunity to grow with Arli Group in the future. “We can link clients, as well as other software, to our system. We need Aiden to realize those links. But they are also there for us when a problem arises. They identify these and solve them quickly and adequately for us. Our business can then continue to run as usual. We work very well together in that respect”.
Thinking with the customer
That pleasant collaboration is also reflected in Aiden’s personal approach to a project like that of Arli Group. Leferink explains: “We have collaborated regularly in the past with a consultant from Aiden. The latter, of his own accord, suggested several things that could be improved in our process. These were things we had not thought about at all. Aiden has that knowledge, in part because they do a lot of work at other companies. We often applied his advice and solutions on the spot within our company. With all the added benefits, such as additional insight into SAP on our end. Knowledge we wouldn’t have had otherwise. This is a very pleasant way of working.”
