FPS Electric from Rijen, The Netherlands, has chosen for Togetr ERP. FPS Electric is an ambitious and fast-growing manufacturer

The choice for Togetr was preceded by an extensive selection where various suppliers were assessed. The main arguments for choosing Togetr is the excellent fit of Togetr ERP with the business processes of FPS Electric. Frank van de Staak, CEO FPS Electric: "Togetr ERP fits very well with our configure to order business type and that will definitely help us to further scale FPS in the Netherlands and abroad."

High Tech seems to have ended up in 'Perfect Storm'... 
In the High Tech industry, extremely high quality requirements apply. In addition, the supply pressures on the High Tech sector remains high. Technological developments are changing at lightning speed, OEMs demand shorter production cycles and an ever smaller chance of errors. We also see an increasing demand for High Tech precision products. This is partly due to geopolitical shifts whereas the US and the European Union are investing billions in 'resourceing' High Tech production to their own continent.

And there it was again: the stovepipe metaphor. We were invited to a meeting at ASML in Veldhoven, The Netherlands. Meeting up to talk about the Togetr software solutions, in particular about the issue of supply chain logistics. Are there opportunities to increase the scalability of the supply chain due to digitization? Which planning concepts are important? Can the automotive supply chain serve as an example to the High Tech?

In the southern and eastern regions of the Netherlands there are a lot of high tech companies. What is happening here in the Netherlands is viewed with admiration elsewhere in the world. At the Precision Fair this week in Den Bosch, The Netherlands you could see this with your own eyes: great innovative companies that present their high tech achievements. The ASML momentum is of course one of the main driving forces behind this. But ASML would not be able to deliver their unbeatable EUV lithography systems without the highly innovative suppliers they have committed to themselves.

However, there is also a phrase going around in the industry: high tech products, but low tech processes. What is produced is unprecedented and world-class, but various people in high tech say that the production and delivery processes in the supply chain can and should become much more efficient. We think there are 3 reasons for this.
