We Achieved More With The Bertus Case!

Bertus is in a digital transformation process, replacing old legacy systems by new solutions. Focus was to try to use standard ERP for the internal processes, but Bertus required specialized solutions where standard ERP could not deliver. With unique needs in music distribution, at least twenty percent of standard ERP failed to fit requirements. OutSystems, combined with Dynamics 365, delivered the flexibility needed. Custom applications replaced gaps with tailored solutions, ensuring effective management and seamless operations for order, customer and supplier processes.
