Bike-Discount: Successful system change for international growth in e-commerce

Home / Bike-Discount: Successful system migration for international growth in e-commerce The project at a glance A complete system migration was carried out; the shop, ERP, CRM and logistics were migrated to a new solution simultaneously. E-commerce processes integrated: collana diva supports the entire process chain – from purchasing to dispatch. Expanding internationally into new countries is now simply a matter of configuring the system. Sector: E-commerce Client: H & S Bike-Discount GmbH Technology / Product: collana diva (based on Microsoft Dynamics NAV) Project description The challenge: Bike-Discount is now one of the leading online retailers for bicycles, accessories and clothing – with international shipping, its own private label (RADON) and a multi-store concept. However, strong growth and increasing internationalisation presented the company with new challenges: the existing system landscape was no longer able to meet the requirements for scalability, process integration and international operations. A stable and future-proof solution was therefore sought, one that would integrate all operational processes – including the online shop, ERP, CRM and logistics – and thus lay the foundation for further growth. Solution Implementation As part of a complete system overhaul, collana diva was introduced as the central business solution. Particular focus was placed on adapting the system to the specific requirements of a bicycle mail-order company: in logistics, a two-stage picking process with final order completion at the packing station was implemented – efficient, automated and scalable. With Microsoft Dynamics NAV as its technological foundation, all data and processes can be securely mapped, consolidated and flexibly expanded. collana diva is now used across the board – from purchasing through marketing and sales to logistics and accounts. „The simultaneous migration of the online shop and the ERP system was a challenge for the whole company – and was only possible thanks to a high level of standardised integration of key e-commerce functions. Thanks to the seamless integration of all processes that has now been achieved, we are excellently positioned for the future.“ Ralf Heisig, Managing Director, Bike-Discount Result / Impact How the problem was solved With collana diva, Bike-Discount now has a reliable and scalable ERP system that connects all areas of the business.  The software not only efficiently maps existing business operations but also serves as the technological foundation for expansion into new markets. Country roll-outs can be implemented through simple parameterisation, without the need for additional development work. The tight integration of all processes creates transparency, speed and scalability across the entire organisation.

MEGA BASIM: Digital printing processes from a single source

MEGA BASIM: Seamless digital printing processes Home / MEGA BASIM: Seamless digital printing processes The project at a glance 8 months to go-live It took just eight months from selection to full ERP implementation – including PrintVis integration. 40% of exports digitally managed Thanks to the centralised ERP platform, orders can be processed efficiently on an international scale. Significantly improved data quality following implementation All departments now work with an integrated database – ensuring greater control, transparency and productivity. Sector Services / Media Client MEGA BASIM YAYIN SAN. VE TIC. A.S. Technology / Product Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2012, PrintVis, TARGIT BI, MAS and Web CRM integrations Project description The challenge MEGA BASIM has been active in the printing industry since 1991 and faced the challenge of consolidating numerous separate systems, which lacked interfaces, into a single integrated solution. The existing processes were heavily paper-based, departments worked in isolation from one another, and there was a lack of transparency regarding quotations, orders and reports. The complex requirements arising from bespoke print orders necessitated a central ERP system that was industry-specific, flexible and future-proof. Solution The implementation MEGA BASIM opted for Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2012 in combination with the PrintVis printing solution. In collaboration with b4dynamics (a member of the collana Group), an industry-specific approach was adopted: sales, production, warehousing, procurement, costing and accounts were consolidated into a single solution.  PrintVis provided functions such as preliminary costing, pricing and machine integration. The system was supplemented by TARGIT for business intelligence, as well as MAS and web CRM interfaces. The new system went live after just eight months. „The biggest step in institutionalisation is the switch to an ERP system and its successful implementation. Many thanks to the b4dynamics team for making this possible. If I were to undertake a new ERP project in another company, I would choose b4dynamics again. This software and the b4 team have done an excellent job!“ Adem Tekşen, Finance Manager, MEGA BASIM Result / Impact How the problem was solved With the introduction of Dynamics NAV and PrintVis, MEGA BASIM’s entire organisation was digitised and centralised. Today, all departments work with a shared database. Customer enquiries can be answered more quickly and reliably. The automation of processes and the high data quality have significantly improved operational efficiency. The system’s user-friendliness has also ensured a high level of acceptance amongst the team. Business management is now based on valid data and specifically supports international growth.

Digital maintenance with maintool at GSB Bayern

Digital maintenance with collana maintool at GSB Bayern Home / Digital maintenance with maintool at GSB Bayern The project at a glance 4 hours of manual work saved per week Paper-based maintenance planning replaced by maintool Complex plant digitised Plant- and location codes fully imported from Excel Mobile access via app Easy to use via the movatix app from Tegos Sector Energy and Environment / Hazardous waste disposal Client GSB Hazardous Waste Disposal Bavaria GmbH Technology / Product collana maintool (CMMS solution, integrated with Microsoft Dynamics NAV) Project description The challenge As Europe’s largest hazardous waste disposal operator, GSB operates a highly complex technical infrastructure with strict inspection and maintenance requirements. The maintenance management software previously in use was outdated and paper-based. Every week, four hours were spent solely on the manual preparation and distribution of maintenance orders. The aim was to introduce a modern, integrated system for digital maintenance – fully compatible with Dynamics NAV. Solution: Implementation GSB opted for collana maintool as its central maintenance tool – implemented by Tegos Rosenheim. All asset identifiers, location data and inspection schedules were imported from Excel. The user interface was specifically tailored to the requirements of the technical services and engineering teams. In addition, movatix, Tegos’s mobile app solution, is used for easy operation directly on site. This gives technicians access to relevant tasks and information at all times. „Now, with maintool, it’s a huge advantage that this data is linked to the tasks. Maintenance tasks and recurring inspections are directly linked to the respective asset.“ Katja Zeller, Engineer, GSB Result / Impact How the problem was solved With collana maintool, GSB has centralised, digitised and made its maintenance processes more transparent. Managers receive reliable information for tracking and ensuring compliance, whilst technicians can work more efficiently and with greater predictability. The structured assignment of tasks to assets improves data quality and simplifies maintenance planning. Mobile access via movatix rounds off the system and ensures greater efficiency, security and business continuity.

Efficient maintenance with maintool at IOI Oleo

Efficient maintenance with collana maintool at IOI Oleo Home / Efficient maintenance with maintool at IOI Oleo The project at a glance Two sites, one system: maintool in use in Witten & Wittenberge – seamlessly integrated Rapid implementation in 3 months Complete system changeover with high acceptance levels Fault and inspection management digitised Recurring tasks and budget processes managed centrally Sector Chemical and raw materials industry Client IOI Oleo GmbH Technology / Product: collana maintool (maintenance solution, integrated with Microsoft Dynamics NAV) Project description The task Following a change of ownership, IOI Oleo faced the challenge of migrating all maintenance processes from SAP to a new ERP system. The previous combination of SAP and Access databases was neither consistent nor sustainable in the long term. The company was looking for a user-friendly and future-proof solution that would meet all requirements relating to mandatory inspections, deadline tracking, budget control and procurement integration, and that could be integrated into Navision. Solution: Implementation The choice fell on collana maintool – recommended by the reference client Walter Rau. In Witten, the solution was implemented within three months. Even staff experienced with SAP quickly found their way around the system. At the second site in Wittenberge, a complete new implementation took place, including interfaces for procurement, budget management and quotation preparation. Key users guided staff through the implementation, supported by customised processes. Since then, faults, recurring tasks and budgets have been managed centrally via collana maintool. „It was exciting to teach our colleagues a completely new programme. Thanks to Nils Brockmüller, project manager at collana apps, implementation was swift.“ IOI Oleo project team Result / Impact How the problem was solved The roll-out of collana maintool has significantly simplified maintenance processes at IOI Oleo. Maintenance and inspection requirements are reliably documented, budgets are planned more effectively, and faults are dealt with efficiently. The entry of item characteristics ensures high data quality and traceability. Another advantage: work order requirements can be documented directly.
