Founded in 2003, the Inatis Group<\/a>, which specializes in engineering and consulting, comprises six companies and currently employs 130 people.<\/p>\n With revenue of 11 million euros in 2016, the group began its digital transformation by adopting VSActivity<\/a>, a multi-company, multi-country industry-specific ERP system, in order to streamline its internal processes.<\/p>\n \n Before adopting VSActivity, the Inatis Group relied primarily on Word and Excel files to manage its operations<\/a>. However, this approach quickly revealed its limitations: <\/p>\n “The files were getting bigger and bigger, it was impossible to easily extract data, and employees were wasting a tremendous amount of time,” explains Marie Gonton, Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of the Inatis Group.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n In light of these constraints, the group decided to consult with five ERP vendors before selecting vsa<\/strong>.<\/p>\n To ensure an objective and appropriate selection, the Inatis Group has adopted a participatory approach by involving department heads in the selection process.<\/p>\n “We asked each department head to vote for the ERP system of their choice, without disclosing pricing information so as not to influence them. “The VSActivity ERP was chosen forits user-friendly interface<\/a>, ease of implementation, and the fact that it is an industry-specific, multi-company, and multi-country ERP,” explains Marie Gonton. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The unique nature of vsa<\/strong>, which was designed for service companies<\/a>, played a key role in this decision.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n As soon as it was implemented, VSActivity was widely adopted by all departments within the Inatis Group:<\/p>\n The sales representatives<\/strong> have switched from their old CRM system<\/a> to the one integrated into vsa<\/strong>, which they consider more relevant and better suited to their needs.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Consultants<\/strong> use it<\/strong> for activity reports<\/a> (CRA), expense reports, and reporting absences.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n The HR<\/a> department<\/strong> manages leave and contract processing through the ERP system.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Administrative departments<\/strong> benefit from faster and more reliable billing<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Managers<\/strong> monitor business operations and performance in real time.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Marie Gonton points out:<\/p>\n “Each department head is responsible for training their teams directly, which is fairly easy because the solution is intuitive. Managing change<\/a> isn’t always easy in every department, but the teams are thrilled with VSActivity.” <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Since implementing VSActivity, the results have been quickly evident. Centralizing data<\/a> has improved access to information and increased efficiency in day-to-day management. <\/p>\n “We see many benefits to using VSA<\/strong>, including easy access to information and faster, more reliable invoice management. The cross-company features are a real asset for our group,” concludes Marie Gonton. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n This digital transformation has enabled the Inatis Group to streamline its processes<\/a>, improve communication between departments, and focus more on its strategic development.<\/p>\n VSActivity has established itself as a driver of growth and sustainable performance.<\/p><\/p>\n\n Do you also represent an engineering consulting firm<\/a>?
