Agro Invest-Prod companies group from Bistrita, the most important player within the meat industry in the region and owner of the sausage brand “De la Jupanu“, has implemented the business management software solution provided by Transart.
The acquired solution includes:
- B-ORG ERP for inventory management, production, traceability, payroll and integration processes
- HERMES Evolution, Romania’s top leading SFA application for automating sale agents activities
- BI Adviser – the Business Intelligence component, tightly integrated with ERP, which facilitates both the business analysis and the monitoring of the essential business indicators (KPI) based on thematic dashboards.
The decision to purchase Transart solution was made due to the development and diversification of Agro Invest Group’s activities, the high competition in this market segment as well as the increasing level of dissatisfaction regarding the quality of the support activities provided for the application previously used.
“In making the decision to purchase the ERP solution provided by Transart we took into consideration the functionalities provided by their solution in terms of administration management, the flexibility offered in the negotiation area – particularly the ability to plan the acquisition costs over a longer period of time – and the confidence in the ability of Transart to deliver the desired solution, along with the related technical support both directly and through the local partners – PIM Corporation. ” said Mrs. Oana MARE, CFO Combis SA / Agro-Invest Prod SRL Bistrita
