Start with SAP S/4HANA and Accelerate Growth
Achieve better internal operations and more control.
Business Challenges
Jan Snel, a market leader in modular construction solutions in the Benelux, had ambitious growth targets. They wanted to achieve an annual turnover of €200 million and become the market leader in Western Europe.

That is why they partnered with Emixa to replace their outdated ERP system with Prefab SAP S/4HANA.

Secondly, users were actively involved in the project, resulting in high user acceptance. Finally, tight planning ensured that everyone was motivated to get started. This 'can do' mentality fitted well with Jan Snel's culture.
