Willems Boven-Leeuwen: nine returns with LiemarX

Always an up-to-date overview, flexible collaboration and a huge saving in administrative hours: for Willems Boven-Leeuwen, the returns of using LiemarX are crystal clear. The organization launched in 2017 after an almost noiseless implementation with 7 bv's in one system. Martijn Lemmers, buyer and project leader LiemarX, on the total solution and its impact on the organization.

Until the switch to LiemarX worked Willems Boven-Leeuwen with another ERP system. Its use was considered unpleasant in the organization; there was simply too little (current) insight. 'When the accountant came for the annual work, we knew by feeling whether or not it had been a good year. But the exact figures were a surprise. In 2016, we started discussions with Jan and another potential ERP vendor to choose a new ERP package. Liemar's presentation was very good and the personal contact created a lot of confidence. Moreover, there were many positive reactions to LiemarX from other users. That made the choice very easy.

Implementation

'We shook hands in September 2016 and went live on January 1, 2017. You certainly shouldn't underestimate the implementation of such a system and we invested a lot of time in it. But thanks to the good cooperation with the people at Liemar, the implementation went exceptionally well, almost silently. Now we always have an up-to-date overview of 7 bv's. If you take a look at the LiemarX dashboard in the morning, you know how the company is doing at that moment. If necessary, you can make adjustments immediately. Before, you were just too late.'

Optimization

'I have been working at Willems Boven-Leeuwen for over 20 years, and I have many colleagues who have been working here for just as long. You can't fool us about our industry. But the people at Liemar speak the language and know our field. As a result, our wishes are heard and our questions understood. In this way, we have been able to achieve a lot of optimization together over the years.'

Efficiency of LiemarX

'We have been working with LiemarX for a few years now, and since its commissioning in January 2017, we have had a constant focus on optimal use of the system in all our bv's. We can easily make the return on investment of this ERP package concrete.

1. Always an up-to-date overview of the status of all orders (invoices sent, costs incurred, investment/prefinancing, expected results, open orders and added value).
2. Always an up-to-date overview of work in progress.
3. Within a few days after the end of the month the figures of all the bv's.
4. No more piles of invoices to sign off on.
5. Always an accurate record of staff hours.
6. See at a glance who is there and who is not there.
7. Flexible and pleasant cooperation with all employees of Liemar Software.
8. The accountant is ready much faster, can see everything in LiemarX.
9. Hours administration cut by half.'
