Vienna, Austria / The Netherlands — July 28, 2025 — Global electrical distributor Sonepar has officially gone live with a customized cableERP solution for their Austrian entity, developed and implemented in partnership with InnoVites, the Netherlands-based software company focused exclusively on the wire and cable industry.
The successful rollout caps off a multi-phase implementation journey that began in 2023, involving more than 15 tailored customizations to meet the unique operational needs of Sonepar Austria’s cable business. The result? A robust, integrated ERP system built to scale with Sonepar’s growth and evolving digital strategy.
“This wasn’t about just plugging in a system,” said Albert Groothedde, CEO at InnoVites. “It was about understanding how Sonepar works, how their teams operate globally, and building something that fits seamlessly into that reality. We’re incredibly proud to have partnered with them on this transformation.”
The newly implemented cableERP system empowers Sonepar with real-time data visibility, smoother cross-department collaboration, and improved responsiveness to customer needs, all powered by an ERP framework designed specifically for the wire and cable industry.
From inventory and order management to logistics and finance, cableERP now acts as the central nervous system of Sonepar’s cable operations, providing a single source of truth across regions, systems, and teams.
“ERP projects are never just about technology, they’re about alignment, mindset, and change management,” said a project team lead from InnoVites. “Sonepar brought all of that to the table. Their openness to reimagine processes and commit to the journey is what made this launch successful.”
The go-live also showcases the flexibility of cableERP’s architecture, allowing Sonepar Austria to incorporate more than 15 specific features and enhancements based on operational insights gathered during the implementation phase. The result is a tailored system that not only supports day-to-day operations but also sets the foundation for future digital initiatives.
For InnoVites, this marks yet another milestone in delivering ERP transformations purpose-built for the wire and cable sector, a space where industry nuance truly matters.
