Case Study: VDS Automotive Group achieves greater process efficiency with Mendix

How Intelligent Automation with Mendix and AWS Drives Process Efficiency

VDS Automotive Group, a Netherlands-based import, export, and wholesale automotive services company, needed to replace paper-based workflows, spreadsheets, and disconnected systems with tailored software that could improve transparency, reduce manual work, and better handle complex vehicle-import regulations. With a small IT team and limited flexibility from off-the-shelf tools, VDS turned to Mendix and its low-code platform to digitize core business processes.

Using Mendix, VDS built several applications, including a document-processing portal, a BPM tax calculator, and a custom ERP/CRM system, while integrating with AWS services like Amazon S3 and AWS Rekognition. The results included faster development, real-time status visibility, improved accuracy and compliance, and major efficiency gains: one app was delivered in three months, another in just weeks, and the ERP system in four months, helping VDS eliminate duplicate work and give customers faster answers.
