Some of the benefits Electrosteel achieved

with SAP Business One-

Faster access to information

Flexibility and control over operations

and processes

Opportunity for growth

Electrosteel decided to look for a new ERP system due to the obsolescence of their existing

software and hardware infrastructure. It was stifling their growth, so a competitive process

was run amongst three IT partners and Frontline were chosen.

“Before and during the implementation

project, we were very impressed by

Frontline employees and in particular the

Frontline project team that worked directly

with us. Their help, competence and

experience was fundamental for the

successful completion of the

implementation project. They also went out

of their ways more often than not in

helping our company through very difficult

periods of the project. I firmly believe we

could not have achieved so much without

their stern support and availability.”

Cristiano Coppola,

Head of Commercial Operations,

Electrosteel Castings (UK) Ltd

Cristiano Coppola (Head of Commercial

Operations) states- “We saw in Frontline a

high level of competence and

understanding of our requirements even

before any decision was made on our part.

This gave us tremendous confidence in

Frontline. In other words, the combination

of knowledge and availability tipped the

balance in favour of Frontline. Price was

also competitive and played a significant

part in the decision.”
