Applicable Areas

Work Flow and Common Data

Enterprises which constantly develop and improve their production process always achieve important results: a relevant increase of information flow results in a better individual productivity, internal communication, services as well as working conditions and atmosphere, and reduces working times and operating costs. All this for the customers benefit.

C.R.M. (Marketing and Services)

The activities to the market and customers, both in pre-sales (marketing) and post-sales (services), have always been the engine of corporate development. The care with which we address CRM themes (Customer Relationship Management), along with managing all the technical and commercial information relating to acquired customers or potential customers, is now a key element for the company to compete in ever more frantic and dynamic markets.

Sales

Sale activities play a double role: on the one hand, they reflect the corporate image when approaching the customers for the first time; on the other hand, they represent the starting point for the success of all the following steps (service and production activities).
Configurations and web portals are the most immediate tools through which customer satisfaction is perceived. Yet, MPS planning, organization of price lists and offers as well as a correct study of statistics determine a smooth and efficient performances in the further steps of order confirmation.

Purchase, Warehouse and Logistic

To simplify relations with the suppliers, fasten goods handling, avoid the related mistakes, optimize stock management are the first steps to take to reduce costs and improve company overall performance.
Traceability and optimization of freight activities are further steps to take to secure goods transfer and face the obstacles of nowadays markets.

Production

Planning and control of production processes through a highly developed ERP, as well as monitoring of all internal and external production phases are the key strategies in the reduction of overall response times, financial and logistics costs. Also the stock optimization and reduction depends on the attention paid to the organization and planning of production processes.

Quality

To win over competitors, two features are of paramount importance: creativity and quality. Imagination, which feeds creativity, must equate with rigorous effort to achieve quality. Quality control over products and materials is guaranteed by rigid goods receipt procedures, well defined test cycles, precise and regular supplier evaluation and accurate registration of both resources and tasks.

Administrative and financial management

To manage a business and be untroubled means to wholly trust its administrative and financial functions.
A developed administrative management must be based on prompt and precise of the company’s accounting processes, secure tax compliance, regular check of cash management and financial flows, forecast of future balance for each bank account and customer exposure to risk.

Management Monitoring

Nowadays companies face markets and economic contingencies which change very rapidly and continuously. In order to take the right steps in such a dynamic environment, companies must master advanced control instruments: not only analytical accounts which calculate in real time profit margin for products, orders, divisions, etc. but also Business Intelligence, Advanced Statistics and Data Mining which allow the managerial and administrative staff to take the best decisions for the company.

Intercompany

A quick and appropriate communication, both within the production sale/chain and the outside world, has become an essential asset for companies.The company computer system must also be accessible to people operating in foreign countries with different foreign languages.
These goals can be reached thanks to the integration of all brand new technologies
(VOI P, Mail, EDI, XML) into the ERP system.
All business processes are in fact available to all external operators: branches, distributors, sellers, technicians, consultants, customers and suppliers.

Security and R&D

The computer system represents brain and heart of all business activities and processes. As consequence any improper use has to discouraged through the use of tools and function which guarantee a complete control and a safe access to operations.
Personalized functions can be developed, improving thus process efficiency and performance, allowing the system to adapt to future changes and preserve the related investment.

An “unique” ERP project

A single ERP project guarantees:

The maximum integration of business processes (“continuous flow”)
Maximum efficiency and speed in process management
The maximum inexpensiveness of maintenance and development
The maximum speed of updating
The maximum capacity for technological evolution

ERP by sectors

The ERP system of Centro Software has been developed on the basis of a single project, with a single optimized database structure and a single functional engine in which the processes of the best industrial experience are integrated. However, the high flexibility of the system has allowed the product to be pre-assembled with ready-made configurations for the major industrial sectors.

MECHANIC

This sector is facing important challenges, such as the continuous increase in raw material costs, supply difficulties and the continued decline in finished product prices.
In this situation, it is vital to reduce operating costs, plan production and forecast demand, optimize and simplify processes to facilitate the rapid creation of new products for new markets.
GruppoDSE chose a high-tech ERP system (Enterprise Resource Planning) designed and developed exactly according to the specific needs of the engineering companies, their supply chains and their international relations.

The system we chose, inspired by the principles of LEAN MANUFACTURING, also provides a “continuous flow” of processes by eliminating all the operations that do not bring added value.

ELECTRONIC ELECTRONIC

The electrical and electronic sector, crucial for the development of the entire economy, today needs to speed up its processes, reduce costs and increase efficiency and productivity.
Not only do companies need to continually develop innovative products, either on their own or in third parties, and market them as soon as possible to strike a sizzling international competition, but continuous technology evolution reduces product life cycles and companies need to constantly reshape their organization with the goal of synchronizing time to market and sustaining product and management costs.
For these reasons, it is essential to adopt specific ERP management software that allows lean production techniques and functionality for component manufacturers, service providers in the electronics industry and OEMs operating on the industrial market on the market large-scale consumer goods and telecommunications.
DSE Group has chosen a high-tech ERP system designed and developed for the electronics industry: its organizational models, in line with LEAN MANUFACTURING principles, allow you to control all processes and to obtain the “continuous flow” of materials and all activities.

Automation

This industry is facing major challenges today: internationalization of markets, rapid changes in business technologies, increased costs, more complexity of standards and certifications, often with different security standards for each market. In this situation, it is essential to speed up and optimize processes, reduce operating costs, plan and organize demand for spare parts in order to make post-sale management more and more profitable, and inefficiency, paradoxically, often also precludes new sales.
SAM ERP2 is a high-tech ERP system designed and developed for the automation and plant industry; its organizational models, in line with the principles of LEAN MANUFACTURING, enable a “streamlined” flow of processes and speed up material flows by eliminating all the operations that do not bring added value.

Automotive

The automotive sector, which has always been one of the driving forces of the economy, has over the years faced significant challenges and re-launched its competitiveness by digitizing processes and new organizational models.
In particular, the application of the WCM method adopted by FCA, and therefore also required by all suppliers to achieve maximum performance levels, has given a strong impetus to compliance with ISO-TS 16949 quality standards and maintenance procedures Preventive and Predictive (CMMS), raising awareness of Production Process Monitoring (MES), Order Planning and Inventory Planning (MRP), Work Scheduling (FCS / CRP), Controlled Materials Movement and Logistics warehouse (WMS).
Thanks to the complete integration of these procedures within the ERP, today’s information comes to the right people, the materials do not remain firm, while commercials, designers, production, logistics, services and suppliers work perfectly synchrony, in a context where waste elimination and full customer satisfaction is the primary goal of everyone.
