Located next to Lake Constance, Swiss train manufacturer Stadler Altenrhein AG focuses on the market segments for regional and urban trains as well as interregio and intercity trains. The company also specializes in niche products and is one of Europe’s last remaining manufacturers of rack-and-pinion rail vehicles.
Stadler decided to go with L-mobile based on Infor’s recommendation. As soon as the project got under way, it was clear to them that they had chosen the right provider and would not need to look any further. Roger Giger, Logistics Manager at Stadler, was particularly impressed by L-mobile’s project management, as well as the quick and easy implementation of the mobile solution in the existing company structure.
“The advantages of the solution are mobile use, flexible adaptation to our business processes, and easy integration with Infor COM,” says Roger Giger.
With the implementation of L-mobile warehouse ready for Infor COM, it is now possible to improve the efficiency and flexibility of logistics operations. The mobile solution prevents incorrect postings, is able to map the individual processes, and provides significant time and cost savings. As a result, several other subsidiaries of Stadler Rail AG have also adopted the mobile solution and are benefiting from its success.
