Comarch’s ERP system in the Republic of South Africa

The implementation of Comarch’s ERP system in the South African division of the global firm De Heus, has been successfully completed. Kotrak Bis, a Comarch Gold Partner, was responsible for the sale and implementation of the ERP system.

The implementation of Comarch’s ERP system in three divisions of De Heus in the Republic of South Africa addresses not only operational but also analytical aspects of enterprise management. This implementation of Comarch’s ERP system is yet another for De Heus. The system continues to be tailored to customer requirements and industry specifications and is the first implementation of Comarch ERP in Africa.

The system’s flexibility, comprehensiveness and multilingualism as well as the experience and capacity for cooperation of Kotrak Bis, a Comarch Gold Partner, were the main factors in the decision to deploy Comarch’s software.

- The successful final implementation of Comarch’s system in De Heus in the Republic of South Africa is a historical event. Up until now, no Polish ERP producers have developed their system on such a large scale. This global project is the continuation of successful cooperation with De Heus, which has been ongoing for a few years in Poland, where implementation of a system was finished in 2006 which included more than 100 users and 6 factories. The choice of our system for the Republic of South Africa confirms the high quality of Comarch’s product, the competence of our network of partners and the benefits which De Heus are afforded. We have been implementing ERP systems outside of Poland for 3 years. This success has confirmed that our strategy is sound. We are currently deploying about 50 foreign implementations of our management solutions. - said Zbigniew Rymarczyk, Member of the Comarch SA Board, Director of the ERP unit.
The integration and automation of business processes, the management of information flow and the capacity for reporting and analysis with the help of the Business Intelligence module are only a few of the benefits which the company has gained by implementing the Comarch system in its three African factories.  

De Heus is an international company with a leading position in the animal feed industry. The company, with its headquarters located in the Netherlands, operates in Poland, Czech Republic, Republic of South Africa and Vietnam and has interests in companies in Belgium, Russia, Egypt, Ethiopia and China. The six De Heus factories in Poland have used Comarch ERP systems for several years.
