"Efficiency and the intelligent use of resources are crucial for social enterprises like gdw süd," says Werner Block, Managing Director of gdw süd.
gdw süd's customers come from industry, trade, and commerce. The breadth of their value chains is impressive: from assembly work and garden and landscape maintenance to office services. Anyone who wants to hold their own in such diverse and competitive markets must deliver outstanding performance. That's why gdw süd is now fully committed to SAP Business One Cloud. The solution was implemented simply, quickly, and seamlessly at gdw süd by SAP partner conesprit GmbH – further proof of the ERP system's capabilities.
The ERP system "SAP Business One," designed for SMEs and start-ups, has recently been implemented by the social enterprise as part of its efficiency-enhancing measures. The increasing automation and digitalization don't worry gdw süd; quite the opposite – Werner Block, Managing Director, sees it as an opportunity for people with disabilities.

On this solid foundation, the company can then grow as it sees fit. The system doesn't force a rigid framework but evolves flexibly – something gdw süd particularly appreciates.
