"For BOAL Extrusion, innovation is the engine for sustainable growth. We were looking for a scalable solution with a direct, demonstrable ROI to further strengthen our processes. Beyonder's practical approach immediately appealed to us," says Gertjan Hakkers, Managing Director at BOAL Extrusion. "By working step-by-step and focusing on the real bottlenecks in our transport planning, we were able to quickly establish a strong business case. We can already see how this will save costs and increase our predictability. That is crucial for our operation."
Securing knowledge
"The impact of this digitalization, by the way, goes beyond just operational gains. By translating our specialist knowledge into digital processes, we secure that knowledge and make onboarding new colleagues much easier."
Owning the IP
That significantly reduces operational risk. Moreover, we are investing in valuable intellectual property (IP), which strengthens our competitive position and contributes directly to the value of our organization.
"This project is a perfect example of how you can accelerate together," adds Erik Moerkerken, Managing Partner of Beyonder. "True digital acceleration in the manufacturing industry happens at the intersection of people and technology. The deep manufacturing process knowledge from BOAL's specialists was crucial.
1+1=3
By combining that with our expertise in digital acceleration and AI, you create a 1+1=3 situation. The BOAL team challenged us, and together we are now building a solution that truly makes a difference in their daily practice.
