At Rovagro, everything revolves around connection \u2013 not just technically, but also between people. Their drive for continuous improvement is deeply ingrained in the DNA of this family business. Since 1983, the Lanaken-based company has been a staple in electrical engineering and automation. Their clients? Both industrial players and private individuals.<\/strong><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The challenge? An outdated ERP system that hindered rather than helped inter-departmental collaboration. Thanks to a well-thought-out change management process, supported by scapta and Younify, Rovagro successfully switched to Business Central \u2013 with Document Capture simplifying and accelerating the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From stainless steel to flexible and future-proof<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Goedele Roox, director at Rovagro, had seen it coming for some time: the way of working was no longer up-to-date. Rovagro knows better than anyone how important precision is. But their internal operations \u2013 with paper and manual counting \u2013 started to feel cumbersome. The previous version of Navision had been set up by a previous generation within the company. However, the way of working had fundamentally changed in the meantime: where previously each department worked separately, there was now a need for more collaboration, automation, and oversight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

\u201cEverything had to be done manually. Sales, purchasing, logistics: everyone worked in their own silo. We lacked a central line.\u201d

It's high time to change course: with a partner who not only understands technology but also brings people along in change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Successful change requires more than just technology.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Through their IT partner, Rovagro came into contact with scapta<\/strong>. The approach clicked immediately. Scapta didn't start with the technology, but with the people. What was difficult? What could have been better? How did the departments work today?<\/strong> Following that, there were department-specific workshops, supported by Unify<\/strong> as a change management partner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe preparation was crucial. Everyone knew what was going to change.
And they listened to us.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The approach was essential because this change not only affected the software but, more importantly, the daily habits of people who had been working in a set way for years. Instead of resistance, there was room for input, consultation, and practice. Unify<\/strong> helped as a liaison between end-users and consultants, ensuring that signals from the workplace were truly translated into the system's configuration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every employee was involved in the analysis, design, and feedback rounds. Not as a formality, but as a full voice in the process. That involvement made the difference: even the most experienced employees bought into the narrative. The result: a change that wasn't imposed, but embraced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One system that everyone quickly gets on board with<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

One system, one flow: that was the goal. Today Rovagro operates on Business Central<\/strong>, with Document Capture<\/strong> as a digital helping hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does that mean in concrete terms?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
