|Implemented solutions: SeniorERP & SeniorVisualBI

More details in the video below:

The building materials distributor, Pro Activ, has managed to significantly mitigate the negative impact of price volatility on the company and to streamline daily operations while mapping the right business strategies with the help of integrated ERP and BI system.

“Several players in this industry have been affected by massive price increases and we are talking about doubling prices in a very short time, about increases of tens of percent per quarter. Senior Software’s tools helped us to anticipate these situations, to deliver performance and a very well-developed controlling area. We are sure and aware that without Senior Software’s solution, the impact of price volatility on the company’s profitability would be overwhelming. It would have been very difficult for us to manage inventory and prices at batch level, because we did not have the clarity and traceability of all our internal actions.”

About the collaboration with Senior Software

The distributor started using Senior Software systems in 2020, Pro Activ being the first company to achieve a 100% remote implementation of ERP and BI solutions. The decision to start the collaboration came after meetings with 6 software providers, Senior Software being the only supplier that met all the company’s selection criteria. Among the aspects that led to the building of this partnership were both the capabilities of the software solutions and their adaptability to the particularities of the business, as well as the professionalism and know-how of the Senior Software team.

Since using SeniorERP and SeniorVisualBI solutions, the distributor Pro Activ has significantly increased the number of unique customers served per month and doubled its turnover.
