Instal Impex reduced by 75% the time spent on procurement operations and improved the sales process by using systems from Senior Software.
The sanitary ware distributor Instal Impex achieved major time savings across its business processes, reduced costs, and increased sales by optimizing inventory operations, resource management, and the order process. These improvements were made possible through the implementation of integrated software systems that enabled access to up to date business information and eliminated activities that did not add value to the company.
With over 25 years of experience in the sanitary goods and installations distribution market, Instal Impex gradually implemented high performance software for integrated business management provided by Senior Software, and the results of these technology investments did not take long to appear. With their help, the company managers in Arad can outline the most efficient business directions in a short time and do not miss any opportunity to streamline processes and increase sales.
Digitalizing a business with integrated solutions, such as those from Senior Software, is very important for a company because it provides visibility and control over the business. All the systems we use are integrated with the ERP solution, so data is entered only once and is instantly available and error free across the software applications we use. Having any relevant information just one click away, we were always able to intervene in real time to prevent issues related to costs, sales, or other situations.

The company, with a turnover exceeding 22 million euros, started its collaboration with Senior Software with the aim of streamlining data flows and eliminating redundant activities. The extended suite of high performance systems from Senior Software enables the connection of company processes, integrated management of all business areas, and accelerated business growth. Since the beginning of the collaboration with Senior Software, the distributor recorded an increase of approximately 12 million euros in turnover, a result achieved with the help of modern technologies used in business management.
The mobile component of the SeniorERP solution helps sales agents easily take and upload customer orders into the system. Through ERP Mobile, the agent has instant access to the real time stock situation, can easily view the entire product portfolio and details, and can offer as many products as possible to clients, while orders effectively reach the back office within a few minutes for processing. The Inventory system, on the other hand, being perfectly integrated with ERP, helps you have all the information you need to make decisions regarding orders.
The Business Intelligence system helped us save an extremely large amount of time. Once you build a report, whether it is about sales, procurement, or inventory, the data is automatically updated as changes occur. What previously required several hours of work is now reduced to just a few minutes. Another important decision for us was the implementation of the B2B solution. The client can view order history and the product portfolio directly in the portal, download technical sheets and place orders, see payment schedules, and outstanding receivables.
Before the partnership with Senior Software, data processing was time consuming and data accuracy was not ensured. Scattered data and delayed information processing made it difficult to identify both issues and revenue growth opportunities in a timely manner. The legacy applications even led to lost sales due to situations such as lack of visibility into real inventory levels.
