Schou: Ready for the future with NetSuite and Omnit
Schou had an old ERP-system which had become both a liability and too heavy with up-keep. This kept them from growing:
"Our old ERP-system was neither scalable nor optimized to support our internal processes. We needed something that could grow with us and make us more data-driven." says Lotte and Peter, both part of the Schou team.
They chose NetSuite ERP - and Omnit as their local partner.
After a thorough process and ERP options, it was clear to Schou that Omnit and NetSuite could best support their growth journey and ambitions.
Why did they choose NetSuite?
There were multiple reasons why the choice fell on NetSuite:
- Scalability - they can grow, without outgrowing their system
- Always updated - they avoid having a system that becomes outdated
- Strong out-of-the-box solutions with the possibility for personalizations
- Easy access to data and analytics
- Supports a process oriented and data driven approach
From planning to implementation
The implementation of NetSuite has already made significant changes to their day-to-day work:
“We now have a solution that makes us a lot more process-oriented and efficient. Meanwhile, we've also become a lot less dependent on external consultants, which saves us money and gives us a lot more flexibility. NetSuite regularly updates itself, and it's extremely easy to integrate new solutions. The standard functions are easy to use, and our employees have no problem finding guides via the NetSuite global knowledge base." says the Schou team.
Some of the pre-project worries were NetSuite's relatively limited existence in Denmark:
"We had a small doubt about NetSuite and how it would fit the Danish business practices, and if it was possible at all to find Danish consultants for the project. But we quickly diffused those worries during the implementation. We had a phased rollout which made it easier to handle internally. The combination of local and international consultants gave us the best of both worlds."
"Our ERP system no longer holds us back; it has instead become a central active part in our growth."
With Omnit by their side through the entire journey
Omnit has played an important part in the implementation, both technically, functionally, and strategically.
“It meant a lot to us to have a local partner who really understood our business. Even though NetSuite makes remote counseling possible (which we've also used), the onsite presence was incredibly valuable. It made for a better understanding, stronger collaboration, and more knowledge being shared."
Schou also highlights Omnit's collaboration style:
"Omnit didn't just deliver a strong solution, they are a good collaboration partner. You can't predict everything in an ERP project, and when situations arose where flexibility was necessary, we found the solutions together. That type of cooperation meant a lot to the process."
