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
