How La Maillecotech Optimized Its Operations With Bonx

Key Challenge: Making Operators’ Work Easier

‍

Before choosing an ERP system, La Maillecotech faced several major challenges, the most important of which was traceability and efficiency. For example, operators spent nearly an hour every day manually entering production data—a time-consuming and error-prone task.The challenge was to find an ERP tool that would relieve the staff of this task while enhancing their skills. In particular, they wanted be able to continually optimize processes according to their feedback and needs in the field.
