Case Study: AtéCé Graphic Products achieves rapid legacy IT modernization and faster development with Thinkwise

AtéCé opts for the Thinkwise Platform to modernize its legacy IT environment

AtéCé Graphic Products, a Dutch family business and international vendor of graphics consumables, faced a fragmented legacy IT landscape of three heavily customized systems (ERP, CRM and WMS) that were functionally mature but slow to evolve and increasingly risky due to obsolete technology. After evaluating standard packages, AtéCé selected the Thinkwise low-code platform to modernize its environment while retaining the company’s required flexibility and business-specific processes.

Thinkwise delivered a rapid Proof of Value—modeling three complex components (a barcode-scan app, purchasing analysis and graphical production planning) within weeks—and is using the Thinkwise Upcycler to automatically import the existing Unix-based applications. The result is much faster development, preserved operational flexibility and reduced technology risk, with a full modernization targeted for completion by early 2023 and a clear path to further optimization and digitalization.
