Laura Metaal Implements INVEX, a Metal ERP Software, in the Netherlands 

Maastricht, Netherlands – Laura Metaal, a steel toll processor, has implemented the INVEX metal enterprise software. INVEX is a metal-specific ERP software designed exclusively for metal service centers. The software implementation was performed by the Dutch-based INVEX partner, Prodin Solutions.  

Laura Metaal has implemented a full complement of INVEX software features including inventory management, sales order status, production planning and scheduling, transport planning and shipping, and invoicing. Toll processing, also referred to as toll conversion or toll manufacturing, is performed by metal companies that process customer-owned metal coils into metal sheets or coils. 

Laura Metaal made extensive use of INVEX APIs to extend the use of INVEX and meet their custom business requirements. This includes integration with applications built by Prodin in sales and receiving, and production recording applications provided by Ignition from Knols IT

“It makes a huge difference using an enterprise software that is made for the metal industry, implemented by Prodin who understands the metal industry. Prodin was able to leverage their experience with the INVEX software for the implementation to help make this project a success. We also deployed a Business Intelligence and Dashboards software, provided by the company Ponthus, to help us make better data-driven decisions to run our company.” 

Marko Pavic, IT Project Manager at Laura Metaal

Laura Metaal successfully implemented a full complement of INVEX enterprise (ERP) software features. This includes the management of toll steel inventory, production planning features to handle their decoiling process for the production of coil to sheet, transport planning functions to monitor online orders and efficiently build loads for dispatch, and invoice billing features to generate invoices at the time of production or shipping.

“We are proud of the complete solution we were able to provide Laura Metaal with INVEX. Since INVEX is built for the metal industry, this substantially improved the user-experience for the Laura Metaal users and faster to implement.” 

– Jochem Swierstra, Business Consultant at Prodin
