SAP Case Study: ProjectLine Customer Stories
Noralta Technologies provides automation, instrumentation and electrical services to the energy industry. To continue its rapid growth, the firm had to remove obstacles posed by its inventory and financials processes, which in turn called for better business software. SAP Business One provided a sound basis for the process re-engineering that the firm was seeking. With its highly scalable new processes, Noralta is continuing its growth with confidence.
Over 13 years, Noralta Technologies has grown from a small instrumentation company to a multi-location supplier of technologies for the oil field. With each expansion step, Noralta’s business processes became more complex, especially in inventory management and financials. They maintained separate inventory records at each of its locations, which often used different terminology for identical items. Managing overall company inventory was arduous and carrying costs were excessive. Accounting processes were equally laborious, with over 12,000 general ledger accounts to maintain and accuracy a growing concern.
