About Customer

Headquartered in Lahti, Finland Kemppi, has a significant international presence and serves customers in various EMEA regions.
Generates business revenue from the sales of welding equipment, catering to various industries in Finland and internationally.

Business Challenges

The business faces several significant challenges in its operations. Firstly, deploying the E9 template in India from the company’s headquarters in Finland requires careful planning and coordination to ensure a seamless implementation.

Secondly, there is a pressing issue of non-compliance with Indian regulatory norms concerning sales tax, customs, and excise accounting. This failure to adhere to the regulations leads to legal and financial consequences.

Moreover, accurately reflecting taxation in the finance module becomes a manual and time-consuming process, as journal entries need to be posted manually. This inefficiency hinders financial reporting and analysis. Additionally, the business neglects to include the additional procurement costs in the inventory, which leads to inaccurate cost calculations and distorted financial results.

Lastly, tracking transactions without corresponding document numbers poses a challenge, making it difficult to trace and reconcile transactions accurately. These challenges necessitate proactive measures and improvements in various areas of business operations to ensure compliance, accuracy, and efficient financial management.

By implementing a standardized ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) solution, the organization gains a precise and consistent understanding of its welding business operations regardless of location. The solution also reduces support and maintenance costs while enabling the identification of actionable measures to enhance overall operational performance across the enterprise.

Our Solution

The implementation of EPICOR India CSF, incorporating India-specific functionality, has proven instrumental in addressing various business challenges.

Empowered the Finance department to effectively account for crucial aspects such as sales tax, excise, TDS (Tax Deducted at Source), and customs computations in day-to-day operations.
The material burden functionality captures the impact of any additional costs incurred during procurement within the inventory module providing a more accurate representation of inventory valuation.
EPICOR assigns a sequence-specific legal number to each transaction, significantly facilitating tracking and traceability.

How an Engineering Procurement Construction Company overcame their challenge by implementing Epicor ERP

"RheinBrücke IT Consulting's technical expertise makes me feel invincible. CCT has a talented pool of internal IT resources but sometimes that's not enough. Working with RB has taken a lot of weight off our shoulders; both the sheer volume of what we can handle together as well as the high level of technical expertise they bring to the table have greatly advanced CCT's abilities to adapt and evolve with our expanding global market. Nithish and Rajagopol are easy to work with and always have great ideas on how to solve our technical and business process issues plus they're just nice guys."

"Congratulations to your team for successfully pulling off the “Automation of RMA” project using the “A-MAP Smart” mobile based application! The legacy system was a laborious and time-consuming activity of data entry of the hundreds of Inspection entries, from the numerous Inspection sheets generated on a daily basis from the field, matching the claims against the supplied Sales orders and line details, entering all the warranty test information including customer purchasing & return data, creating disposition against the relevant warehouses and summarizing all the data for transfer to the sales teams for actual settlement of claims vide relevant sales orders."

"Thank you for the continued good work on the ERP and Supply Chain project. Your Consulting, Technical, Functional and Project management expertise was evident and was very well appreciated by our staffs. I was also pleased with the flexible, easily approachable, transparent dealing with your team. Needless to mention I also appreciate how effectively you leverage the teaming with cross cultural teams with low cost geography for developmental resources while not compromising on the quality of deliverables to business. Keep up the good work."

"I had been using RheinBrücke team as my extended arm for sometime now and I have really come to appreciate their depth of technical and functional knowledge of the product and their commitment to our end customers needs. They react quickly to new challenges and are always there for me to rely on."

"We implemented Epicor ERP for one of our large Glass manufacturing facility in Middle East. Like any ERP implementations, even though the product was good, we faced initial hiccup and challenges during the implementation . This is where we came across the German based RheinBrücke IT consulting and took their support. They did a fantastic turnaround of the project. I enjoyed the transparent and efficient dealing with the company and came to appreciate their work. Now they have opened the Middle East operations and am positive they will do well due to their good service motto."

"We were very impressed with the way RheinBrücke carried out their work. From analysis to implementation and post-production support, their analysis was always detailed and complete. It was easily understood by users, so different system extension options could be evaluated with all relevant information."
