The challenge
Fragmented systems hamper agility and growth
In 2015, after a devastating factory fire, Kefor found itself in a crisis situation requiring a complete overhaul of its management system. Although the company was using an in-house ERP to manage its operations, many processes remained manual and disconnected, slowing down production, increasing billing errors and hampering the fluidity of operations.
The solution
ERP tailored to specific needs
Following the fire, and in search of a more efficient management system, Kefor turned to Évolution ERP for a complete, flexible and tailor-made solution. The following modules were implemented:
-
Production management
with mobile tools (iPads for real-time monitoring of operations)
-
Quality control
with visual recognition systems
-
Automated delivery tracking
with notifications and alerts
-
Payroll module
for customized time management
-
Dashboards
for project management and real-time performance monitoring
What has changed with Évolution ERP is that we finally have an integrated, modular system that grows with us. Today, everyone, even those working remotely, has access to information crucial to the smooth running of operations.
