Bel Fuse
Founded in 1949, Bel Fuse is a world leader in designing, manufacturing and marketing products that power, protect and connect electronic circuits. Today, it employs more than 9,000 people in 24 locations across North America, Europe and Asia and is considered a global industry powerhouse.
The Challenge
Until recently, Bel Fuse was relying on Oracle for its finance and operations needs—a solution that was fast becoming outdated, costly and unable to contend with its ambitious plans to scale. The company needed a provider that could keep up with cutting-edge data and metrics analytics. A provider that was primed for the future.
That’s where Flintech came in.
The Flintech Solution
As a gold-certified systems integrator of Microsoft Dynamics 365, Flintech was brought in to transition Bel Power’s old model to a cloud-based solution with a modern ERP. Where before, Bel Fuse found it difficult to monitor manufacturing cycle times, changeover times, capacity utilization and customer rejects/returns, the Flintech 365 solution enables the company to monitor these instances at the touch of a button.
The results? Bel Fuse has seen a saving of almost $2 million annually on ERP and related costs since the introduction of Microsoft 365 through Flintech. The company is well on its way to phasing out the old Oracle model for good, meaning Bel Fuse will have a single-pane-of-glass view of all its finance and operations data, controlled simply and seamlessly from the cloud.
Outcomes
- $2M annual savings since 365 implementation
- Weeks of admin time saved each year through improved planning and production processes
- Fully integrated financial processes with better accuracy and reduced time to close
“Flintech was instrumental in helping us implement Microsoft Dynamics 365, which now provides a more modern, cost-effective solution that supports the company and its sites across many countries worldwide, so we can deliver on our strategic plans.”
– DENNIS ACKERMAN, President, Bel Power Solutions
