Case Study: Gehr GmbH achieves upgrade-safe customization and streamlined production with abas ERP

Gehr GmbH - Customer Case Study

Gehr GmbH, a global manufacturer of high‑quality plastic pipes, tubes and profiles with about 150 employees and locations in Germany and the USA, needed a modern ERP system to replace aging business software. After evaluating vendors, Gehr selected abas for its ERP solution because of its strong process support, manageability, open interfaces and the abas partner’s analysis tools, plus the ability to customize via the abas programming language FOP.

abas implemented its ERP across Gehr (40 licenses/users), delivering scale integration, distribution of shipping costs, integrated quality management, a PDC interface and data transfer to export tools, while enabling upgrade‑safe customizations (e.g., trend‑oriented production planning). The result is improved production planning and robust, manageable processes with customizations preserved through upgrades — benefits Gehr has realized since becoming an abas customer in 03/2003.
