What need did you have when you hired us?
We needed to automate a hard process that consumed a lot of our resources:
Budget tracking at product level.
GESISA developed a software for us, a detailed budget control system, which allowed us to follow everything from the product to the brand, including the product ranges.
This system gave us a lot of power when creating budgets and their monthlyization, since, thanks to GESISA, we were able to 100% automate a completely manual process, saving time that we could dedicate to carrying out actions of much greater value.
We had this system for about ten years, until we had to implement a new ERP at group level, dispensing with all the parallel adaptations that the subsidiaries had until then.
In addition, GESISA developed other software for us, such as the publication of the price system through a website, so that customers could access the updated prices without having to wait for the publication of catalogues or flyers
Description of the SOLUTION offered by GESISA
Degree of satisfaction with the implemented solution
We have been with GESISA for many years.
The consultants always demonstrated a high level of involvement because they took ownership of the projects, as if they were our own.
The expectations were fully met, because processes that were very difficult to do were completely automated, giving us great benefits: they gave us time to do other things of greater value.
GESISA has always been a Partner, a business partner.
