Customer profile

Challenge
Avoiding interruptions in the flow of information
In order to manage its rapid growth, Enerix recognized that it needed to continue to digitize. Some processes were already mapped with the existing solution (kwix), but there were still many media inconsistencies, as well as data and isolated applications (such as Excel, Word, Placetel and Teams). Therefore, Enerix decided to implement new software. Enerix formed a task force for software selection. The selection process involved several steps, including analyzing internal processes and deriving requirements for the software search. The main issue identified was data consistency: during the many phases of a PV project, data is generated in different formats and stored in different data structures. The challenge was to link these data together to avoid interruptions in the information flow.
Solution
Customized ERP solution
After a lengthy selection process, Enerix chose Photovate's ERP solution, a PV software based on the low-code Ninox platform. Ninox is a development platform on which to quickly build custom software. The approach was convincing for several reasons: First, because all evaluated requirement areas, including automation, enterprise resource planning, multi-project management, digital job site and service, can be covered. Second, because the solution from Ninox partner Photovate, could be tailored to Enerix's exact requirements with little effort - and can grow with the company.
This allows each of Enerix's more than 115 specialist companies to proceed flexibly at their own pace, digitizing processes step by step and adapting the scope of the solution to their own needs. Thanks to low-code technology, customizations and enhancements can be implemented in record time.
