Growing out of UNIT4 Multivers Basic
Shortly after Decostar was founded, the UNIT4 Multivers Basic application was chosen to automate its business processes. The logistical and administrative processes were well supported by this at the time. As Decostar grew, it ran into the limitations of this application. The capacity of the database and the functionality offered no longer met the demands and increasing customer requirements. It was decided to look for a more extensive ERP package that would meet the requirements and wishes of now and in the future.

It was decided to look for a more comprehensive ERP package that had to meet the demands and requirements of today and the future.

The choice for Wholesale
To ensure that Decostar would not be hampered in its growth by shortcomings of a new ERP package, the solution had to meet a number of conditions. It had to be an integrated solution. It had to provide insight into (pipeline) inventory at item level, purchase orders, container-level shipments by suppliers and lead times.

It was also important that there were sufficient linking possibilities with external parties via digital data exchange via a webshop application, HAN Data sales terminals, and EDI messages, among others.

To come to a good choice, Decostar oriented itself in the market and investigated whether Navision, Prodin and Wholesale could offer them these possibilities. The referral from Wholesale to its partner Logres, the good substantive discussions and the functional solution as offered by Wholesale ensured that a choice could be made quickly. All the spearheads that were important to Decostar could be fulfilled by Wholesale. Moreover, there was the right "click" with the people at Logres.

Wholesale in use
By using Wholesale, Decostar has achieved the goal of being able to rely on inventory based on ATP(Available-to-Promise). For organizations looking to improve sales, finance and supply chain management, Wholesale is highly recommended, says Willem Mulderij. It is particularly suitable for organizations that want to have a complete picture of everything that is going on in terms of goods and money flows within the organization.

Furthermore, it offers a strong integration of financial and logistical functionality, it is operationally accessible and it ensures that the right information is always available. The consultant from Logres has created a real total solution in collaboration with the key users of Decostar.
