The challenge of coordinating a global industrial group
In an increasingly competitive and connected environment, operational efficiency is a decisive factor for success. For the Silgest Group, which operates in Europe, America and Africa and specialises in strategic industrial sectors, the challenge was clear: to unify and optimise complex processes distributed across multiple countries.
The answer came with SAP Business One, a powerful and flexible ERP system that has now become the technological backbone of all the companies in the group.
‘The implementation of SAP Business One has been a turning point in our business management.’
SAP Business One.
Why SAP Business One? Technology adapted to industrial reality.
Choosing an ERP is not a trivial decision, especially in organisations with an operational structure as broad and diverse as ours. After a strategic evaluation, SAP Business One proved to be the most suitable solution due to its ability to adapt to:
- Companies with multiple locations and advanced logistics needs.
- Complex and changing regulatory environments.
- International multi-currency and multilingual operations.
Key advantages
- Full process integration: finance, purchasing, inventory and customer service on a single platform.
- Global scalability: management of different currencies, languages and tax laws without losing efficiency.
- Centralised operational control: real-time visibility of orders, inventory and regulatory compliance.
In addition, SAP Business One allows us to accurately address key aspects such as:
- Product traceability and certifications.
- Stock control and orders to international suppliers.
- Synchronisation between key areas of the logistics chain.
