Business Challenges
BAM Infra Equipment faced the challenge of improving their outdated, time-consuming and error-prone analogue rental process. They rented a wide range of construction necessities to BAM's internal business units, with orders placed by phone and e-mail and then processed manually. This led to inefficiency, inventory problems and long waiting times at the warehouses. In collaboration with Emixa, they developed an integrated digital rental process based on SAP Equipment & Tools Management (ETM), with a user-friendly web shop for employees to order equipment and materials. This has resulted in improved inventory control, fewer ordering errors, increased efficiency, and enhanced project management. The positive reception from employees and the interest from other BAM Infra Netherlands divisions attest to the success of the initiative.
