Case Study: Van Genechten Packaging expands IT and controls costs with EnterpriseDB EDB Postgres

Van Genechten Expands IT and Controls Costs with EDB Postgres

Van Genechten Packaging, part of the long-established Van Genechten Group, needed to extend its custom ERP from back office into production to streamline processes and support a rapidly growing user base. The company’s IT subsidiary Imas faced a major cost barrier from user‑based licensing on a commercial relational database and sought an enterprise‑class, vendor‑neutral alternative to support tighter production controls and automation without ballooning license fees.

Imas migrated the ERP database to EDB Postgres Advanced Server—using EDB training, the Migration Toolkit, remote support and an on‑site specialist—completing the move in five months. The change eliminated license fees and vendor lock‑in, improved performance (after query tuning), enabled direct shop‑floor entry of jobs and reports, and scaled automation into production with rapid vendor support and measurable operational efficiency gains.
