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.

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