Customer Story TCS

Innovative steel constructor TCS designs, manufactures and installs industrial cranes, steel structures and turnkey projects worldwide. With their steel constructions, they support customers in optimising and automating processes. But when they started working on process optimisation internally, they ran into the limitations of their outdated tailormade ERP solution. In this customer story, Dirk Steegmans, Project Manager IT at TCS, explains what they were seeking in an ERP solution, how they found 4PS and the advantages of a comprehensive solution designed specifically for construction companies.

4PS Construct as foundation for the future

“What felt important in the selection of 4PS Construct was that the software really addresses our basic processes, for projects as well as service. And we also appreciated that it is a proven default solution. Many companies have been using the product for years, it is completely ‘ready’. The software facilitates the way we work using a standard; it is not a solution you want to customise.”

Curious to know what advantages TCS is experiencing now they’ve been working with our all-in-one solution for several years? Want to know how they maintain the required level of knowledge in the organisation and how the update to the latest version of 4PS Construct went? You can read all about it here!

“At BAM, we agreed that we would process existing projects just like we had done in the past. New projects now run via 4PS Construct. This was a conscious decision because of the international environment we are operating in. We are taking it step by step. In consultation with 4PS, a number of adjustments were made in the standard software. A prerequisite for our business and an enhancement of their standard product for 4PS.”
James van de Merbel CIO | BAM International
"The main advantage of Control, as it's used in our package, is that both parties see identical numbers simultaneously."
Ron van Mook Director Sales Service Mobility | Dynniq
"We know we’ve got more control over the business and the day to day running. Reporting is much improved by using Jet and the standard CVR Report. Processing sub-contractor payments is so much easier as are so many daily tasks so we are definitely more efficient."
Paul Armstrong Financial Director | Thomas Armstrong
"Compared with earlier systems, 4PS is distinguished by being fully adapted for our operations. We have also put a lot of focus on configuring the key areas to suit us even better. We began with service and will continue by fine tuning project management."
Stephan Winkler System Owner | Strukton Rail
“In 2011, we made the transition to 4PS Construct and made our first steps in the field of data and digitization. We realized the “paper process” could be organized in a smarter and more efficient way, both for our customers and our own internal process. The starting point is that the activities are carried out correctly from the start and that standardization and transparency in the process are strived for. Also across chain partners, in order to prevent waste as much as possible."

"It’s interesting that the reliable day to day running of the system with no down time has raised staff morale. Due to this, the workforce want to engage with the system more and more and are pushing the business to take more advantage of Dynamics NAV/4PS. They’ve had their eyes opened to the limitations of the old system so improvements and refinements are continually being made driven, quite often, by the users."
Andrew Stanley Company Accountant | Shouksmiths
"It just seems to most operational users that there’s a lot less work involved in doing their jobs since 4PS was implemented. Things get done much faster."
