ERP and eBusiness system optimizes processes at the oven specialist Haeussler

abas ERP – Upgradeable, individual, standard software

Quality of life through natural products

Haeussler manufactures wood burning ovens, electric stone ovens, pizza ovens, dough kneading machines, pasta machines, grain mills and smoking cabinets. The products are distributed worldwide.

Connecting cash registers with warehouses

ERP project manager Reuter is convinced of his business software, "The flexibility of the solution amazes us again and again. We are able to carry out most of our adjustments ourselves without loosing upgradeability. This does normally not take longer than one weekend for all function areas. At most 4 days with preliminary work and reworking. The openness to integrate additional solutions is also very good." Haeussler was able to represent its production close to the standard in the ERP system. Roland Mayer, Technical Director at Haeussler, "Our production is very complex, with extended workbench, procurements abroad, in-house production and purchased parts, as well as job lot and made-to-order production. For many years our software has been adjusting itself to the requirements of the individual areas." In the service department, abas ERP manages the spare parts lists of the devices. Prices, conditions, costing schemata for service as well as customer and vendor related service information is available by the click of a button. Haeussler is operating a separate warehouse in the distribution area. Using the connection of several cash registers, sales are posted in real-time in this warehouse by the ERP system and the reorder point for refilling the goods in the baking village is managed. The automatic sending of goods is also initiated. The eBusiness component contained in the ERP software is also being used.

Increased liquidity and productivity

Roland Mayer does not have to think very long when asked about the use of the software: "With our integrated system - everything is connected to everything - and the tools available in the software such as infosystems or selection bars, we are able to quickly and easily create all types of enumerations, costing schemata, statistics and business figures. Transparency and ability to provide information have also increased. One click and the user knows the status of a sales order." Mr Mayer names further advantages, "As is generally known, profit is made in purchasing. Since we have been using the scheduling function of our ERP system, Excel lists in procurement are a thing of the past, and we almost have no safety stock. Batch sizes and purchase order quantities can now be purchased optimally. Warehouse quantities and capital tie-up could be decreased by 35% which in turn increased liquidity."

eBusiness increases transparency

"All products and their current availability can be viewed 24/7 in the abas eB webshop," emphasizes Roland Mayer. "Individual terms and conditions are recorded for all registered customers. All the necessary data are available in the ERP system and are displayed in the webshop in realtime." Additional information on ABAS:
