Mataró, 9 November 2017
Transnatur is one of the main logistics groups of the peninsula, with about 600 employees and 14 branches in Spain and Portugal. Its activity is focused especially on International Land Transport, Maritime, Air, Customs, Storage and Distribution, along with other services such as Project Transport, Art, Fairs and Triangular Operations. Together, a wide range of goods transport options from origin to destination (door-gate) passing through the Logistics Service.

One of the keys to Transnatur's strategy, which has led it to the moment of growth and expansion, is the commitment to top-level customer service, supported by a continuous improvement of its processes and a significant commitment to technology as a means of managing the extreme complexity of the business.

Within this technological bet, and after an exhaustive search among the different options offered by the market, last July Transnatur decided to carry out a complete renewal of its information systems with the commitment to the ERP solution for Freight forwarders b first bytemaster .

Thanks to the agreement with bytemaster , b first ERP will become the global management solution for all the areas and companies of the Transnaturgroup, which will thus have a state-of-the-art end-to-end technological solution to replace its current solution of own development, decentralized and PICK-based.

Within the same project, the financial module of b first ERP will replace the current financial solution, ensuring the integrity of the entire solution and avoiding costly integrations, which always involve an important development effort and maintenance of versions between different products.

For Eduard Bascuñán, Deputy Director of the Group Transnatur
"Aftermany years of growth with the same PICK solution and our own development team, and after polling the market on multiple occasions, we have finally found the solution that best fits our work philosophy and with the technology and processes of our company. In this way we will be better prepared to face the new challenges imposed by the market, and assume the growth and expansion that the company hasplanned."

 

Among the main advantages of the implementation of b first ERP is its ability to unify the operations of all centers into a single powerful and centralized tool. According to Francesc Matas,IT Director of the Transnatur group "The new solution will allow us to take a leap forward technologically and functionally, optimize our processes and improve the reliability and quality of service of our organization". The complexity of the project, which involves centralizing the operations of a company operating in a decentralized manner, will involve a considerable effort, for Transnatur's IT team, but according to Matas this will result in the short and medium term overall improvement in operations.
