“We greatly reduced our error rate. Furthermore, implementing ENWIS only cost us half of what we would have needed to pay for updating the existing system. (We) reduced the labor expenditures from five to one and a half days for stocktaking. Our order volume increased by 20% in the recent past. The additional work could be managed without new employees. Because Navision automatically adds the most important contract information, we can work with semi-skilled workers. This reduces our labor costs.”
– Lutz Burgdorf, Head of IT department, Avista Mineralöl-Gruppe.
“We now have the space we need for future growth, and can react flexibly to new market demands.

We were producing, before the system came into place, around 40,000 cartridges a month out of this facility. Right now, this month we’ll produce around 90,000 cartridges out of the same size facility so certainly our efficiency per employee has increased.”

“(Before) you were closing out your UPS orders and keying in your shipping charges for 2 hours on a daily basis and now you don’t even have to touch that and it’s automatcically done. A year ago we were shipping up 150 to 250 UPS packages a day. Today we average about 700 and I’m doing it with the same number of people. You don’t have to be a mathmatician to figure that one out. Our people are not here 60 hours a week, they’re here 40 hours a week because they can do the same amount of work in that time, and you know we’ve doubled our business in that time. So we’re shipping a lot more but doing it with less people and more efficiently.”
– Ron Skowronski, VP of Distribution, Clover Technologies Group, LLC.
“The flexibility of the new platform has been a key selling point for us. For example, one of our larger companies has about 20 million journal entries in its general ledger entry database.

– Carol Wozney, Director of Infrastructure Services, Corix

“We wanted to get away from isolated applications, towards one shared data basis in the company and an end-to-end process from laboratory to invoicing… we need(ed) a reliable, neat and traceable data basis in order to fulfill customer requirements and expect a considerable simplification of the invoicing procedure, once the whole process, starting with the order entry including all prices and the laboratory results, is enclosed in one system.”
– CEO Bernd Dorlöchter, KS-Recycling GmbH & Co. KG

“What’s great is that no one needs a reminder. We don’t need as much as an e-mail to control the order. In addition, the procedures remain transparent and easy to track long-term. We’ve been able to partly realize our vision of a paperless office thanks to (ENWIS Comotor.”

In the past, to check who had not submitted a statement, the entire information had to be passed into and checked from Microsoft Excel.”
– Luís Veiga Martins, General Manager, Sociedade Ponto Verde
“Instead of having a system that has been developed in-house and only able to support the requirements that exist in the here and now, SRV can now grow into the opportunities afforded by enwis.

The biggest advantage at present is that the company can obtain statistics for and track all aspects of their business activities, making it easier to draw conclusions.”
