Case Study: Lechler GmbH achieves 50% faster customer response and improved service with Actian-powered ERP

Lechler Caps Customer Service with Actian-Powered ERP Solution

Lechler GmbH is a German mid-sized manufacturer of nozzles and custom spray technology with a global footprint and more than 30,000 standard products. Facing the need to modernize its manufacturing technology, Lechler sought a company-wide MRP/ERP upgrade to improve business processes, extend reporting capabilities, enable flexible database administration, and shorten order-to-delivery times to boost customer service.

Lechler deployed a Planat MRP/ERP solution built on Actian Ingres Database running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux as the foundation of its IT strategy. About 600 users now access a stable, high-availability ERP system that supports sales, manufacturing and process control, enables fast self-service queries and Excel exports, reduces IT effort, and delivered roughly a 50% faster response to customers—strengthening reporting, operational performance and overall competitiveness.
