A HansaWorld Case Study
Freefoam Building Products, a leading manufacturer of uPVC fascia, soffit, guttering, cladding and panelling systems, needed to replace an older backend system that was difficult to use and no longer met the company’s growing requirements. As Freefoam expanded across Ireland, the UK and mainland Europe, it needed an ERP solution that could handle multi-lingual, multi-currency and production needs, while also supporting core accounting and stock control.
HansaWorld implemented Standard ERP for Freefoam, starting with sales, nominal ledger and stock control before expanding to manufacturing, warehousing, webshop, barcodes, labels, planning and forecasting. The solution helped remove the need for multiple ad hoc systems, improved integration with third-party tools like TrueCommerce and QlikView, and supported 50+ users across the business. With HansaWorld, Freefoam reported 300% turnover growth since 2006 and greater confidence from features like multi-language support, mobile access and enhanced data security.
