Case Study: VDL Nederland BV modernizes ERP and unifies processes with Thinkwise

VDL Nederland BV fully replaces ERP in 1 year with Thinkwise

VDL Nederland BV, part of the international VDL Group, faced the challenge of modernizing its technologically obsolete, custom-built ERP system to support future growth. Their self-developed software was no longer suitable for functional expansion, and the company needed to organize its business processes more efficiently and provide faster data access across its many operating companies. This challenge led them to partner with Thinkwise to modernize and extend their existing platform.

Thinkwise implemented a modernized and integrated software solution called VBS, which replaced the legacy system within a year. The solution fully integrated existing peripheral applications, a quality management system, and the Thinkwise EDI Engine. The results included the automation of processes, the elimination of double data entry, and real-time information availability. Measurable impacts include over 41,000 messages exchanged annually via the EDI Engine, an average onboarding time of just 1.5 days for users, and a successful rollout to 25 operating companies with plans for more. Thinkwise provided VDL with a future-proof platform that supports efficient operations and continued innovation.
