Sempergreen starts digital transformation
Global market leader Sempergreen has cultivated, produced, and installed green roofs for more than 25 years. The organization is growing rapidly, causing the number of requests and complexity to increase. Time for a digital transformation.
Sustainable, green roofs: digital transformation
More and more organizations and private individuals recognize the benefits of a green, sustainable roof. It is great in densely populated and urban areas as it adds more greenery to our environment, it serves as a water buffer, it supports temperature control, sound insulation, and air purification, and it promotes biodiversity.
Sempergreen processes a large number of orders every year and also takes on the cultivation of green roofs. The process requires accurate registration. In practice, however, Sempergreen noticed that a lot of information had to be added manually, which was error-prone and hindered further growth. Time for a new way of working — a fully digitized one. As Sempergreen expects a peak period in the spring, it has joined forces with PAQT to realize this digital transformation in the short term.
Nursery ERP system
Sempergreen collaborates with numerous partners, suppliers, and growers across Europe. It takes about six months to grow a green roof, and not every location or nursery is at the same stage. Strong growth presented a challenge: the then-current ERP system fell short of the mark. To get all information in the right place, it was necessary to create an export and hand over or forward the information. If a supplier or co-worker added some notes, these had to be entered into the system at the office. In practice, all this boiled down to a lot of manual tasks and a high risk of errors.
Digitalization of the order process
Immediately after performing a comprehensive GAP analysis, the parties started working on the solution. Given the Sempergreen’s upcoming peak season, the entire process must be digitalized in the short term. PAQT is definitely up for the challenge.
