ADA Cosmetics: Company Building

Karlsruhe, Germany, September 9th, 2009 – ADA Cosmetics, the German based market leader in premium hotel cosmetics reached its limits with their previous business software and needed more than just an upgrade. Due to a broad product range, their new system had to be able to manage batch and process manufacturing as well as custom and small-scale production. Because ADA Cosmetics distributes through various national and international locations, it also had to be equipped with multi-user features. abas Business Software meets all these requirements and assists the hotel cosmetics specialist since 2001. abas ERP has exceeded all of ADA‘s expectations over the years. With evolutionary and innovative abas Business Software, ADA works with a tool that easily connects new locations, continuously optimizes processes and saves costs.

Global distribution with a zero error rateHartmut Schindler, Head of IT at ADA Cosmetics, sees additional benefits in using abas ERP at ADA: “Our whole accounting is integrated in abas ERP. Ever since, internal transparency has increased remarkably. Individual transactions can be tracked back from finished goods via production processes back to document level in various languages. Data is only entered once and is instantly available worldwide. Time consuming double entries are non existing, as well as fault finding. Basically, the error rate is zero.“


Schindler sees another highlight in the international presence of abas Business Software: “We are using abas ERP at our locations in Austria, Switzerland, France, Spain, Dubai, Hongkong, Singapore and China. At all locations, we are using our installation with all company specific modifications. It is inevitable that ABAS has a global partner network. The local abas partner is responsible for any country specific software customization. He is aware of any regional distinctions and knows local laws and mentality.“ From Germany, ADA centrally runs the production for all countries. This incorporates the entire purchasing, warehouse and production. This way, ADA is aware of order statuses or actual stocks at any location at all times. Hartmut Schindler sums up, “Through this organization every individual‘s productivity has increased tremendously. Despite our company expanded extraordinary, we were able to increase our service quality worldwide without increasing personnel.“

ADA: Interaction of ERP and Web-ShopADA Cosmetics International is a global enterprise. Around 50% of all purchase orders are processed online. Their web presence and online shop are available in four different languages. Christian Estenfeld, Head of Pre-Production, shares his positive experiences on using international applicable abas ERP and the advantages of combining it with opportunities of their Web-shop: „All orders are recorded in abas ERP in real-time, regardless of the language they have been placed in. Prices can be structured and calculated for different customer categories. abas ERP provides centrally held information that is directly presented to our potential target market on our various web-presences.“
