Metaal Groep Mook, a true family business, has earned its reputation in steel construction over the past 40 years. Based in Mook, Limburg, the company employs 32 professionals engaged in various disciplines within steel construction, from engineering to assembly, and from service provision to maintenance. The organization’s clear vision is to create and implement innovative and sustainable metal solutions in collaboration with passionate professionals.

An ERP solution as a crucial part of business processes

Alfred Peters serves as the Operations Manager at Metaal Groep Mook, bringing over 35 years of experience in steel construction, with 17 years at Metaal Groep Mook, formerly Staalbouw Mook. Recognizing the crucial role of an ERP system in efficient and smart business operations since his joining in 2006, Peters opted for ConstruSteel’s ERP/steel construction software solution shortly after. Metaal Groep Mook extensively utilizes ConstruSteel’s software solutions, seamlessly integrating them into numerous business processes.

The Scan Sys integration for automated invoice processing

Metaal Groep Mook has recently implemented the ConstruSteel integration with Scan Sys’ ImageCapture for automated invoice processing. According to Alfred Peters, the organization handles around 800 to 900 projects annually, resulting in approximately 4000 purchase invoices. Peters emphasizes the importance of maintaining insight and oversight over various invoice streams as the Operations Manager, a task facilitated by the ConstruSteel integration with Scan Sys.

Significant time savings and a smoother workflow

Previously, invoice processing at Metaal Groep Mook followed a different approach, involving printing invoices and physically passing them around departments, leading to inefficiencies and lack of overview. Peters notes a substantial improvement in workflow efficiency since transitioning to digital invoice management, resulting in significant time savings equivalent to about 1/5th of a full-time equivalent (FTE) position. Moreover, the Scan Sys integration is also utilized for post-calculation tasks, allowing Peters to complete them in half the time compared to previous methods.

In addition to the fact that the Scan Sys integration is used when entering purchase invoices, it is also used to make actual costings, Alfred Peters: “I regularly make actual costings, previously this took me 2 to 3 days, now it costs me an half a day, purely because all the invoices are available and this allows me to get through the projects quickly.”

A professional and future-proof organization

The Scan Sys integration with ConstruSteel contributes to Metaal Groep Mook’s efficient, sustainable, and enjoyable work environment. Peters expresses great satisfaction with ConstruSteel’s software solutions and the integration with Scan Sys, emphasizing their role in streamlining business operations and enhancing the company’s attractiveness as an employer, facilitating remote work. In conclusion, the automation of business processes positions Metaal Groep Mook as the professional, sustainable, and future-proof organization it aspires to be.
