The decision was driven by an increased focus on traceability and the need for a more modern system capable of supporting the company's manufacturing environment. According to Mikkel Nielsen, Business Operations Manager at Dansk Maskinindustri, Navision no longer meets the demands of today's production operations:

“We place a strong emphasis on traceability throughout our entire production process, and Navision has simply become too limited to meet our needs.”

Automation creates greater integration and reduces errors

With Tracelink as the central system, workflows become more integrated and data only needs to be entered once—after which it can be reused throughout the entire production process. This creates greater data consistency, improves operational visibility, and frees up time for employees who previously handled many processes manually.

“Tracelink overtager en lang række manuelle opgaver, som førhen krævede ekstra registreringer. Det betyder færre manuelle indtastninger og dermed også færre fejl,” Mikkel tells.

Improved insight into production and inventory

In addition to certificate management, Dansk Maskinindustri sees significant value in Tracelink's reporting and analytics tools. The structured data provides a solid foundation for informed decision-making, while making it easier to plan production and manage inventory in day-to-day operations.

“"Tracelink gives us access to valuable reports and clear visibility into our production flow and inventory. These are tools we can actively use to optimize our day-to-day operations,” Mikkel concludes.

The transition from an older ERP system to a more flexible and modern platform marks a natural step in Dansk Maskinindustri's development, with a strong focus on traceability, automation, and greater visibility across the entire value chain.
