What you get

AUTOMATED PLANNING, ACCOUNTING, PROCUREMENT & SALES

In most cases, we carry out accounting in the implemented system after the project has been completed, so we only offer tried and tested solutions. A SCHNEIDER GROUP expert with ERP implementation experience in your industry is part of every project team.

AN IT SOLUTION WITH BUSINESS GROWTH IN MIND

We develop automation options based on both your current technical requirements and overall business strategy, determine the areas of automation and prioritise the implementation of solutions based on their economic feasibility. To help you construct a roadmap for future development, we will outline scenarios for developing the solution as the business grows.

COMPLIANCE WITH LEGISLATION AND CORPORATE STANDARDS

We simultaneously achieve compliance with local legislative requirements and head office standards without the need for additional operations or steps. We ensure both local efficiency and transparency for the parent company.

INTEGRATION OF LOCAL AND GLOBAL ERP SYSTEMS

We integrate local and global ERP solutions to facilitate data exchange; connect the head office ERP system as the operational accounting centre and source of directory information; and organise data transfer to the global system according to corporate standards.

MIGRATION FROM LOCAL SYSTEM TO GLOBAL SYSTEM

We implement and configure a global ERP system in a local unit, and organise local accounting and tax reporting as part of your head office solution. We develop additional features during implementation to adapt to local legal requirements and quickly redevelop as necessary when regulations change.

USER-FRIENDLY SOLUTIONS

We use tried and tested add-ons to provide a comfortable user experience that reduces repetitive operations. We provide training, education and post-project support, both for the system and the users.
