One of the challenges at the time of Filtreks’ foundation was to find an ERP system that fit the company’s business processes. The main requirements of the client were to provide a simple and easy search according to specific filter parameters, the possibility to group products according to different characteristics and to quickly find filters from other manufacturers identical to specific parameters. One of the most important requirements was to automate the processing of incoming and outgoing documents. After comparing several local and foreign ERP systems, the client chose our solution because we were able to adapt to the client’s internal business processes and implement the solution within the allocated budget and time limit.
How Solwit helps automate warehouse operations at Filtrex, one of the largest industrial filter dealers in Latvia.

Solution
Implementation and customisation of the Warehouse and Accounting modules to the client’s business processes.
“Our cooperation with Solcraft has been a success. The ERP solution was implemented within the planned budget and in a really short timeframe – the implementation took only 2 months, which allowed the company to start operations without any delays. Moreover, we are extremely happy that the solution has been tailored to the specifics of our business – it turns out that few ERP solution developers offer something like this. If we look back to the early days of our company, it is absolutely clear that the decision to implement the Solcraft ERP solution proved to be a very important and correct one. If the company did not have an ERP solution, it is unlikely that we would have reached the leading position in the Latvian market so quickly.”
Highlights of the project
Orders to suppliers
Our solution provides the ability to track the dynamics of sales at different time scales (e.g. month or week), which, combined with the minimum and maximum balances set, allows the system to make order recommendations and generate orders to suppliers. By generating an order to a supplier based on past deliveries, it is possible to plan future procurement expenditure.
Cross-database synchronisation
The two companies have a synchronised catalogue of goods – allowing them to see each other’s balances. This solution significantly reduces time consumption as there is no need to switch between company databases.
Alternative product
The solution allows you to group items with the same technical characteristics, even though they have different manufacturers, quickly finding items that can be interchanged. This solution has several advantages.For example, the customer is informed and therefore able to regulate sales, and the goods do not accumulate in stock.
Manufacturer's item record
A very convenient solution has been developed which, on the one hand, allows ordering goods from a supplier using items known to the supplier and, on the other hand, allows the company to list the goods according to its own items. Each item can have several items from the supplier.
Transaction history
The solution accumulates customer purchase history, which allows Filtreks to analyse the regularity of orders and replenish the stock of products so that the product is available to the customer at a given time.
Cloud storage
The decision to store data in the cloud has accelerated the system by several times, and it is much more secure than storing data on a local server, as the cloud solution provides regular data backups and an Uptime of 99.95%. Cloud storage offers another huge advantage – Filtreks employees can connect to the system from anywhere and work remotely.
