Table du Sud

From Excel sheets to efficient, automated processes

The Dutch sibling-owned furniture brand especially renowned for its custom-made tables has experienced an almost exponential growth since the beginning of the company in early 2015.

Selling quality furniture, the company needed an ERP system that could keep up with the business operations with complex needs and that could manage and streamline the production.

Table du Sud was founded in 2015 by brothers Teun and Evert Antonissen, driven by their shared passion for craftsmanship. From a humble beginning in a small shed, Table du Sud is now a thriving business with over 100 employees and four furniture stores.

Simplifying Operations and Reducing Errors

Before implementing TRIMIT, Table du Sud faced several operational inefficiencies that hindered growth and resource allocation.

Maudi Verhees, business improvement specialist at Table du Sud, recalls:

“When I started here, basically everyone worked by themselves with different Excel files or Word documents. So we didn’t know what was actually going on in the company.

The lack of centralized systems meant that employees were spending a significant amount of time manually managing and verifying orders, which increased the risk of errors and slowed down production.

Without an integrated solution, Table du Sud had to check each order multiple times for errors, leading to frustration and delays. Maudi explains:
“Before TRIMIT, we had to check every order 3 to 4 times for errors or things that could possibly not be done because we didn’t have the link between the orders. Now, everything is just in there, and it’s much easier through our system.”

The Industry-Specific ERP Solution from TRIMIT

To overcome these challenges, Table du Sud implemented Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central in combination with the industry-specific solution TRIMIT.
This powerful ERP solution integrates all business processes, from production to order management, providing a seamless way to handle complex configurations and product variants.

Streamlining Operations and Reducing Errors

One of the most significant improvements since the implementation of TRIMIT has been the integration of all processes into a single system.

According to Erwin, this integration has drastically reduced the time spent on processing orders, improved accuracy, and enhanced overall visibility throughout the production process:

“By integrating all processes in TRIMIT, we are able to process the orders through the system much faster, which saves us a considerable amount of time,” he explains.

"The TRIMIT production module has also given the team better oversight of the production process. As Erwin notes:

Boosting Efficiency and Saving Resources

For a growing company like Table du Sud, reducing resource consumption while increasing output is critical to sustained growth.

By implementing TRIMIT, the company has managed to achieve just that. With the system’s robust product configuration capabilities and the ability to handle various product variants, Table du Sud can process more orders with fewer employees, saving costs overall.

Erwin explains:“We are very happy with TRIMIT and can definitely recommend it, because the system is strong in product configuration with many variants allowing orders to be processed more easily. We can do more with fewer people, and integration is a strong component.”

The streamlined operations also translate into improved delivery times and fewer handling errors, further enhancing the overall efficiency of the company.

With TRIMIT, our delivery times have been shortened remarkably and time spent on both correcting errors and order handling is reduced as well.
