Case Study: Galvanotechnik Kessel achieves quadrupled turnover and automated electroplating with abas ERP

Galvanotechnik Kessel - Customer Case Study

Galvanotechnik Kessel, a Germany-based electroplating supplier to the automotive sector with about 135 employees, needed tighter production planning and control, reliable interfaces to electroplating plants and automatic analyzers, integrated quality assurance, and compliant EDI connections for customers like Volkswagen and Audi. To meet these requirements they implemented abas Business Software (abas ERP) from abas across purchasing, warehouse, scheduling, materials management, sales and accounting.

abas delivered a full ERP-driven solution—linking production automats and analysis machines, managing electrolyte bath parameters, automating analyses and bath optimization, and integrating EDI for VW/Audi—while supporting purchasing, inventory and accounting workflows. The implementation streamlined production control, reduced staffing pressure and improved compliance; Galvanotechnik Kessel reports a fourfold increase in turnover since deploying abas (currently using 26 licenses).
