InnoVites B.V. (www.innovites.com), a Dutch software development company, announced today that it has developed Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software specifically for the cable industry: Innovites for Cable. InnoVites builds this Industry Solution on top of the innovative, user-friendly and mature ERP software of Microsoft: Microsoft Dynamics AX.

Improving business performance of cable manufacturers

The owners of InnoVites have great knowledge and extensive experience in the cable industry and the application of Information Technology in this industry. Albert Groothedde, CEO and co-owner of InnoVites, has been responsible for the development and sales of the Industry Solution for the cable industry at the former Proloq Company. Groothedde is excited about the initiative to build an Industry Solution for the cable industry on the Microsoft Dynamics AX platform: “This is a unique opportunity for our team to create value for cable manufactures,” says Groothedde.“We combine our knowledge about best (lean) practices in the cable industry and our experience with the development of cable-specific enterprise applications. This is now leveraged with the powerful, user-friendly Microsoft Dynamics AX platform. We are really well-positioned to pursue our mission: to help cable manufacturers around the globe to improve their business performance through our enterprise applications.”

Understanding of cable industry

Herman van der Weerd, VP Operations and Services of InnoVites, was the co-founder of the company Proloq. Proloq extended the Baan software to make it fit for cable manufacturers more than 15 years ago. This software has been installed and used successfully by many cable companies around the world since then. Herman comments: “We understand the business of our customers and the dynamics in the cable industry. We speak the same language, which enables us to quickly design and deliver solutions that address the specific needs of cable manufacturers. Our experience from the past will help us to focus on the issues that really matter in the cable industry and to develop a superior Industry Solution.”

Solutions for real business challenges

Dick de Jong, VP Products and Technology, was Product Architect at Proloq and has worked with many cable companies around the globe to understand their business needs. He adds, “Cable manufacturers, no matter the size of the business, have to compete in a global competitive arena. Today’s cable manufacturers do not just deliver cables; they deliver telecom or power solutions, tailored to their customers’ needs, at the right location, at the lowest costs and just in time. They need modern, innovative technology to be able to support complex logistical operations and interact seamlessly with their business partners to meet the customers’ expectations. We are excited to fulfill this need by merging modern IT concepts with our in-depth knowledge and experience in the cable industry.”

Cable characteristics in its genes

Groothedde concludes: “We are convinced that a cable manufacturer needs an ERP system that fits like a glove to give the company the agility needed to compete in a globalizing market. That’s why InnoVites just focuses on the cable industry. The cable characteristics are built in the genes of Innovites for Cable.”

About Microsoft Dynamics AX: Microsoft Dynamics AX (formerly Microsoft Axapta) is an adaptable business-management solution that enables you and your people to make business decisions with confidence. Microsoft Dynamics AX works like familiar Microsoft software, such as Microsoft Office programs and the Microsoft SQL Server. The result: You can build on the investments in systems and software that your company might already use. Plus, the familiar working environment helps lower learning curves so users can focus less on technology and more on their business goals. Microsoft Dynamics AX is similar to Microsoft Outlook in both looks and function. This familiarity helps make it easier for your people to learn and utilize in your business system. You can define links to "favorite" forms and applications for each user and provide easy access to them from individual screens.
