24 June, 2024Athader, founded in 1992 and located in Errenteria, has achieved exponential growth thanks to its conscientious management and its ability to adapt to market demands. Athader specialises in the integral management of projects for the processing of metal coils, including carbon steel, stainless steel and aluminium. Its focus on the design, manufacture and production of innovative solutions has enabled it to remain competitive in the sector. Harkaitz Luengo, Athader's managing director, highlights how digitalisation has been a fundamental pillar in improving the company's profitability, sustainability and adaptability.
One of the main challenges Athader faced was the need to integrate all its business processes, from purchasing and design to subcontracting, assembly, maintenance and after-sales service. In addition, they were looking to improve project planning, obtain real-time budget control and optimise document management.
To address these challenges, Athader decided to implement the RPS Next ERP. This solution enabled the integration of SOLIDWORKS design software with the purchasing department, facilitating more efficient and accurate management. SOLIDWORKS PDM was also implemented, which promotes good version management and documentation of each project.
The implementation of RPS Next has enabled Athader to significantly improve its project management capabilities. According to Harkaitz Luengo, this has resulted in an increase in orders and turnover. The reduction of deviations and errors in the purchasing department has improved strategic decision making, strengthening the company's operational efficiency.
Integrating all areas of the company under one platform has facilitated informed decision making and control of any deviations. Digitalisation has promoted interdepartmental integration and seamless communication, improving customer responsiveness and optimising project planning and execution.
In short, the collaboration between Athader and AYESA_Smarttech has resulted in a comprehensive solution that has not only improved project management and operational efficiency, but has also positioned Athader as a company that is more profitable, sustainable and adaptable to the demands of today's market.
