Van Mierlo Staalwerken: moving forward with LiemarX

We recently started implementing LiemarX at Van Mierlo Staalwerken in Someren. Liemar Software consultant Hein van Beers: 'Van Mierlo did not previously work with an ERP package, so the use of LiemarX offers them many opportunities for process simplification and improvement. Everyone is working enthusiastically on the implementation and it is going smoothly.

Soon after the first meeting, steps were taken to arrive at a suitable solution: we mainly ensure that the administrative processes take much less time and hassle. 'In the past, we have often been informed by ERP suppliers. But I never had the feeling that it was going to help us. Too big and not specific enough for the work we do. It wouldn't do us any good,' says owner Dirk van Mierlo. With LiemarX, we do have the feeling that it will help us. This is the first time we have seen a solution that is so specific to what we do and need.'

Van Mierlo Staalwerken immediately opted for a fairly complete package that would provide them with full support. Niels: "In the discussions we had, it was immediately clear to us in which areas the first gains can easily be achieved. In addition to the basis of project monitoring, one of the first steps towards greater efficiency is the establishment of digital time registration and processing. The handling of incoming and outgoing invoices will also be much faster and easier.'

This will include work preparation, including automated ordering. Requests are recorded through the CRM system for the quotation phase. Hein: "Van Mierlo's LiemarX environment is not yet live, but they are already looking ahead. For example, they also want to start working with the calculation module.

Dirk: 'What also played an important role was that I immediately felt I wasn't a number. The contact from the very first moment was very personal. In addition, Liemar Software is a local company, which I also like. If there is a problem, you contact each other more quickly.
