The right ERP for Aquanova AG
"The larger a company becomes, the more complex it is to switch from Excel to an ERP. We had previously worked successfully with spreadsheets and data servers. At the same time, we were growing. It was time to switch to an ERP system," recalls Torsten Seck, Director Sales & Marketing and authorized signatory at AQUANOVA AG. The condition: an ERP solution that meets the strict requirements of the food industry and is easy to handle.
Natural ingredients, sustainable acting for the planet
Promoting natural ingredients and using the planet's resources: AQUANOVA AG produces formulations for food supplements. The company from Darmstadt is FSSC 22000- and food-safety certified and has been an integral part of the food supplement industry since 1995. AQUANOVA is therefore subject to the strict requirements of the food industry - also with regard to the use of software. A clear criterion in the search for an ERP system: the solution must be suitable for the food industry.
Food ERP based on Microsoft
Torsten Seck and the management team began their research for a food ERP with a focus on the areas of production and batch management with a standard desktop research. Contact was made with various providers and, after a short time, they talked to a sales representative from YAVEON. In addition to the possibilities offered by the industry ERP for the production of food supplements, the system basis was an important reason for the decision: "Microsoft as a basis convinced us, the handling is very intuitive. Searching in Business Central, for example, is very easy using an input field with a magnifying glass, and the tables in the ERP are similar to Excel. We also found some of our customers and partners in the references."
12 months after the start of the project, AQUANOVA AG was using the YAVEON ERP for the food industry. "Due to internal resources, I was mainly responsible for the project. There was a lot to do due to our data tables starting from scratch. But the YAVEON consultants were always easy to reach and available for last-minute coordination," summarizes Mr. Seck. In addition to inspection plans and lot tracking, the AQUANOVA team now mainly uses purchasing and sales. Financial accounting, which was previously handled by an external office, is now also carried out in-house.
The result: overview, documentation and adherence to budget
Today, AQUANOVA is successfully using the industry ERP and knows the benefits of automated process handling: "We have a much better overview of stock levels, current purchase orders and sales orders than before. In addition, production and processes are documented automatically; before the ERP, everything was recorded manually," says Torsten Seck happily.
Mr. Seck, how do you rate the costs? Is the price for an ERP implementation realistic? "When our offer was drawn up, the sales representative clearly told us that YAVEON would set the time contingent rather high in order to stay safely within budget or even below. That provides security, I liked it very much and it was absolutely adhered to."
