With more than 100,000 different parts to keep track of, a good ERP system was a necessity. Three years ago, the company decided to switch to Monitor ERP - a decision that has improved operations, overview and collaboration across borders. We spoke to CEO Martin Andersen and Purchasing Manager Svend Weinkauff Jakobsen about their experiences with the system and how it has strengthened their global operations.

A successful and structured implementation

Martin Andersen says that the decision to choose Monitor ERP was made with some skepticism, primarily due to the size of the company in Denmark, but the collaboration quickly proved to be both professional and efficient:

"Before we started implementing Monitor, we were presented with a plan. I thought it was optimistic, but everything went as planned. We went live and started on the agreed date. It was a very positive experience."

Monitor ERP was first implemented in Denmark, before later also being implemented in the departments in China and India. According to Martin Andersen, implementation went smoothly in all three locations:

"The implementation in Denmark went really well - just as it did in the other two companies. This is due to the good cooperation between the organizations, the great commitment, and professionalism we have encountered at Monitor ERP."

A standard system with flexibility and ease of use

A key point for both Martin and Svend is that Monitor ERP is a standard system that also offers a high degree of flexibility:

"Monitor ERP is a standard system, yes, but it offers many opportunities to work creatively with data and processes. We have worked with other ERP systems, but Monitor is the most satisfying. It's intuitive and if you understand the value of structured data, it's an ideal system," says Svend.

In particular, he highlights easy data extraction and maintenance as crucial factors in a business with over 15,000 stock items and daily transactions across three continents.

A partnership built on trust and shared values

As a family-owned company, Lind Jensen Maskinfabrik highly values trust, ownership and, commitment. Therefore, it was crucial to find a partner with the same approach - one of the reasons why Monitor was chosen:

"We're a family business that is proud of our ownership and commitment, and we're also a company you can trust. That's why we deal with suppliers who put the same values first," says Martin.

He emphasizes that Monitor has been a reliable partner all the way and that the relationship today is based on mutual respect and understanding.

Recommendation to other companies

Martin concludes with a clear recommendation:

"What we've experienced in terms of service, listening to your customers and the fact that you don't just let us go after we've done a deal, but that we became part of the family. That's why I can recommend Monitor today."

With three years of experience and a system that is now the backbone of their global operations, Lind Jensen Maskinfabrik is a strong example of how a good match between company and ERP supplier can lead to efficiency, trust and future-proofing.
