Using Kladana, we managed to streamline the manufacturing management in whole: production operations became smoother, raw materials planning & purchasing became much easier. Now, a purchasing manager can look at one screen In Kladana, access sales estimates, figure out how many raw materials need to be bought for different items, and make purchase orders straightaway.

Before Kladana, we were doing everything in Excel. All the stock and production records were maintained in spreadsheets. We weren’t able to arrange timely updates for the information about warehouse stocks: the materials we were receiving, the goods we were shipping.

In Kladana, we found the functionality we were looking for. In combination with affordability, it worked as a decisive factor. Another important area is tracking the amount of yield our company is getting. In this respect Kladana is suitable to our requirements, and we are going to start using the Financials module of the solution.
