How Röchling Industrial Oepping puts the customer at the center.

The plastics specialist from Upper Austria moved its ERP from on-premises to the cloud and added a CRM that is connected directly to it. All contacts are in one place, and sales sees on site what matters to the customer right now.

The project in 30 seconds
  1. Challenge

    The ERP ran on-premises: no flexible access and no regular backups. Contacts were scattered, and the system's standard structures had reached their limits.

  2. Solution

    The ERP now runs in the Microsoft cloud. A CRM with document management and a clean connection to the ERP was added, so two specialized systems now work together.

  3. Result

    Central, GDPR-compliant master data management, automatic backups and access from anywhere. Sales works consistently and close to the customer.

Challenge and solution

From an overloaded system to a complete solution.

An ERP on in-house servers that also had to carry the work with customers: three bottlenecks in Oepping, and what the site does differently today.

  1. 01Availability
    Before

    Data only on premises

    The ERP ran on the company's own servers. Flexible access was hardly possible, and irregular backups carried the risk of losing data.

    ERP in the cloud

    Access from anywhere, automatic backups and lower infrastructure costs. Microsoft takes care of security with its standards.

  2. 02Contacts
    Before

    Scattered contacts

    A growing collection of contacts was stored in many places. Data was hard to find and even harder to keep up to date.

    With ERP in the cloud and CRM

    One central collection point

    All contacts and master data are in one place, GDPR-compliant. They are always available, even when someone leaves the company or is absent.

  3. 03Sales
    Before

    One system for everything

    The ERP had to take on tasks it was not built for. Its standard structures were overstretched, and ways of working in sales differed.

    ERP and CRM working together

    The CRM handles the work with the customer, cleanly connected to the ERP. Sales works consistently and sees current numbers and needs on site.
