Case Study: Montes del Plata achieves rapid digital transformation and 50% lower development time and costs with GeneXus

Software applied to the forestry industry value chain

Montes del Plata, Uruguay’s largest forestry exporter and a major cellulose producer, faced a complex digital challenge: a geographically dispersed value chain with limited connectivity in the field, long development and maintenance cycles, and high costs that hindered rapid innovation. After evaluating multiple options, Montes del Plata selected GeneXus as the development platform (engaging DVelop as a GeneXus Gold Solution Partner) to provide multi‑platform, offline-capable solutions and integration tools such as GXFlow and the SAP connector.

Using GeneXus, DVelop delivered an agile portfolio of mobile and web applications—about 10 apps in the first year, with roughly 5,000 hours of work and multiple systems deployed—enabling offline field operations, native multi‑platform deployment, and straightforward WebService/SAP integration. The GeneXus-based approach cut development time and costs by about 50%, accelerated MVP delivery, and achieved Montes del Plata’s goals to reduce delivery times, lower maintenance costs, and scale digital innovation across the forestry value chain.
