Choosing HansaWorld


When Mercodia were going to choose accounting system, in 2004, they were interested in Enterprise. The system fulfilled all the needs and demands that Mercodia AB had. On of the most important requests was the compability with Mac and full control of work flows, stock and lead time.

Enterprise for their financial and salesorder handeling.

it was easy to buy more modules and users as our business got bigger”.

Implementation of Enterprise


Production and Purchasing was next step in the process for Mercodia AB and in 2006 they decided to purchase a system for resource planning. They did several reference visits to customers with different solutions for resource planning to investigate which solution that might fit them best. Again the found HansaWorld Enterprise was the best solution that matched all their requirements.
After a test phase during autumn 2007, Mercodia AB
went live 2007-2008, with Purchase and Production.

As Mercodia AB grows, Enterprise grows with them.
The possibility for offices outside Sweden to have access to modules and reports gives the business a hugh potential of development.
The offices can very easily take part of the information of what is going on in other countries and the headquarter can, for example, follow the sales figures for each office.
