DS Dichtungstechnik GmbH is a leading supplier of sealing technology for the concrete pipe industry. This midsized, family business has used its core IT system, an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, for over a year to manage every process from purchasing to production, warehousing, sales and shipment. The efficiency of the entire operation has increased significantly since the system was introduced and every process has become clearly comprehensible. ERP is one of the foundations of DS Dichtungstechnik GmbH’s success.
