IS urbanization: a new scalable ERP to support Pellenc’s growth
Part of a complete digital transformation strategy: a new ERP system
Pellenc, a leading manufacturer of specialized tools and machinery for the viticulture and arboriculture sectors, has undertaken a digital transformation project involving the modernisation of its information system and the replacement of its ERP system. PellencY wanted to find an ERP solution that would meet its requirements more effectively, integrate its business processes seamlessly and support its future growth. To this end, Pellenc required assistance in the preparation of a Request for Proposal (RFP) from the publishing house and advice on the most suitable solution.
Selecting an ERP to meet current and future business challenges
The main challenge for Pellenc was to precisely define the functional scope of the target ERP, to understand the existing ecosystem and to gather the specific needs of the different business units. The selection of an ERP solution that would not only meet current operational requirements, but would also be scalable to support the company's future development, was crucial.

- Defining the functional scope of the target ERP and identifying the key functionalities that are required to meet the business objectives of Pellenc
