Marginpar

Marginpar has specialized in creating the most extraordinary cut flowers for over 30 years, establishing themselves as a prominent flower producer. They grow a diverse assortment of over 100 beautiful flowers on their farms in Kenya, Ethiopia, Tanzania and Zimbabwe.

Problem Statement

In a fast-growing market, it is important that Marginpar continues to differentiate itself from the intense competition. To stay ahead of the competition, they want an application in which everything in the process, from start to finish, can be easily managed. This application must not only be efficient, but also flexible enough to meet the diverse needs of the different links in the chain.

Desired Solution

Marginpar wishes to develop an ERP system that can manage all aspects of the supply chain. By investing in this system, the company can streamline operational processes, reduce costs and improve customer service. This ERP solution will need to consist of several phases, including purchasing, inventory management, production planning, distribution, sales and finance.

Solution

To realize this desired solution, Emendis was called in. We built an ERP system, called DXP, that both the farms in Africa, and the headquarters in Aalsmeer work with. Using Digital Experience Platform (DXP), companies can transform traditional sales strategies into seamless sales experiences. This allows staff to easily combine supply and demand with optimal capacity utilization, while at the same time meeting the specific requirements from Aalsmeer regarding delivery to direct customers or auctions.

Methodology

All invoices received by the PP group are automatically read into the P2P system. Only the necessary information is captured, such as the invoice number, company name, IBAN and the amount to be paid. This automation speeds up the invoice processing process and minimizes manual input errors.
