East Europe Metal Concept: clarity and control in consulting and trade

Working in the field of consultancy and metal trade requires, every day, precise coordination, quick decisions, and the ability to keep track of many threads at once. At some point, we realized that the systems and methods we were using no longer gave us the control we needed. There was too much scattered and redundant information, difficult to follow, and time losses that, however well-intentioned, affected the pace and clarity of decision-making.

The e:corg ERP solution came as a very fitting response to all these challenges.

It allowed us to centralize in one place everything related to projects, budgets, orders, inventory, documents, and accounting operations.

We reorganized ourselves — cleaner, clearer. Every team member now knows exactly where to find what they need and, more importantly, the information is updated, consistent, and available in real time.

A major advantage was the way we could adapt our commercial and operational workflows without being constrained by rigid templates.

The platform is flexible, easy to understand, and clearly designed for people who have real things to get done.

We were able to track projects better, see where we stand with budgets more clearly, manage stock more efficiently, and improve our relationships with partners and clients.

One aspect I personally appreciate is the financial-accounting area, which is very well integrated.

No more unnecessary exports and imports, no intermediate files — everything connects naturally.

Month-end closing is easier, declarations are generated without hassle, and we always know the company’s real-time financial situation.

I can’t say that implementation was free of challenges — no real change ever is.

But I can sincerely say that the result was worth it, and today we truly feel that we have a system we can rely on.

For us, e:corg is not just an ERP, but a structure that keeps our activity clear, organized, and under control.

Looking back, our only genuine regret is that the e:corg ERP solution didn’t exist and couldn’t be implemented in the large projects we were involved in as consultants — Ductil Steel, Laminorul Brăila, and COS Târgoviște.

We were part of those projects, experienced them from the inside, and knew the people, the needs, and the real challenges of those factories.

Unfortunately, at that time, the market did not offer an ERP solution adapted to the specific requirements of a metallurgical plant.

There were only a few systems — most of them expensive, rigid, and hard to adapt.

Truly good and accessible solutions capable of managing production, inventory, financial flows, and real-time reporting in an integrated way — simply didn’t exist.

We firmly believe that if a solution like e:corg had existed and could have been implemented in time, many of the difficulties faced by those plants could have been avoided.

A suitable ERP is not just about digitalization — it’s about control, decision-making, and timely response.

And that’s exactly what was missing.

Fortunately, we managed to implement e:corg ERP in another important project — at Industrial Steel Wires Câmpia Turzii, one of the very few metal processing factories still operating in Romania.

There, the solution proved its value: it brought order, consistency, clarity, and adaptability.

And the management team was able to make strategic decisions based on real data, not estimations.

As consultants, we’ve evaluated and tested dozens of ERP solutions on the Romanian market.

We’ve encountered large, expensive, hard-to-adapt platforms, and simple but unstable ones.

In our opinion, e:corg is one of the few ERP solutions that are balanced, modern, and scalable.

A platform that is already prepared for the realities of Romanian companies and can grow naturally alongside the business — without costly developments and unnecessary complications.

We confidently recommend e:corg ERP to companies that seek clarity, efficiency, and control over their operations.

We chose e:corg — and we truly felt the difference.
