How Did Herbst Help?
For the past twenty years, Distag QCS have relied on Herbst Software to streamline their operations and drive unprecedented growth. From their humble beginnings with €60,000 in revenue in their inaugural year to achieving a remarkable €40 million in 2023, Herbst Software has been instrumental in their success story.
Before adopting Herbst, Distag QCS grappled with a lack of visibility across their sites in Northern Ireland and the UK. However, with Herbst’s integrated solution, they gained full access to all three sites, enabling them to track stock, movements, pricing and orders with unparalleled visibility and traceability.
A key advantage of Herbst for Distag QCS was the real-time nature of the system. This allowed them to eliminate manual processes and grant access to vital information online, reducing reliance on their accountants and enhancing operational efficiency.
Furthermore, Herbst’s modular approach appealed to Distag as they could start with the modules they needed initially and seamlessly scale up as the company expanded. This flexibility ensured that they could tailor the software to meet their evolving requirements while accommodating their growth trajectory.
Overall, Herbst Software has empowered Distag QCS management with the insights and tools needed to make informed decisions across all their sites. This has not only fueled their growth but has also contributed significantly to their profitability over the years.
We switched to Herbst 20 years ago. The business has grown from €60,000 in its first year to €40M this year.
