Automotive Supplier Inteva Products Enhances Visibility and Lowers Costs with Plex ERP

Empowering Employees with a Modern Solution

Inteva Salonta launched Plex in 2015, making it the first European site to complete its Plex implementation. The Plex ERP system was rolled out from the United States with the help of an in-house implementation team. This team traveled from the U.S. and used their knowledge, best practices, and experience traveling to various sites to assist in a seamless launch.

With many years under its belt, Indrei notes that as Plex is robust and easy to learn, the Inteva Salonta location plans to continue expanding and exploring various modules. The production team is working to implement the maintenance module to better link their lines with management and maintenance schedules. When asked about the benefits of Plex’s cloud-based model, Indrei stated that “it’s great because you can easily access it from everywhere.”

Employees at Inteva Salonta also completed training prior to the implementation. The majority grasped the new system with ease, attributed to the fact that Plex ERP is made by and for manufacturers. Additionally, Inteva Salonta employees who did not speak English as their first language found Plex easy to learn given the system’s modern user interface with menus that are easy to access and explore. Even today, new employees continue to be onboarded with ease.

Since completing the implementation at Inteva Salonta, the shop floor has most notably been improved. Using Plex has helped to ensure that all employees are on the same page, with real-time data and enhanced visualization enabling better communication and increased understanding of the impact of their actions on other departments. Cloud-based Plex ERP not only delivers a view of the entire production cycle across all facets, but it also offers the ability to manage financial, operational, and IT strategies in one system. Plex is also enabling Inteva Salonta to track schedules, materials, orders, scrap, and inventory more efficiently and in real-time. Orders are placed with suppliers and simultaneously integrated into Plex, ensuring that each order is carried out efficiently. As soon as inventory leaves the supplier, Inteva can track it in Plex.

“Plex helps to better monitor the actions you take in managing deliveries, the supplies, and the production,” stated Sebastian Indrei. “The production and plant floor teams are especially positively impacted by the switch to Plex.”
