“Our business benefits from our close relationship with Hugmar, as we host their Toolkit Development Environment. The Green Screens are mostly gone, and Hugmar Toolkit has taken over most of the User Interface. Our legacy ERP system is linked to our WordPress website in real time via Hugmar. The Purchasing workflow is much improved with REST connectivity with our largest suppliers. Many of our products have serial numbers and extended warranty and Hugmar enables us to trace all that history decades back with its smooth user interface. An added bonus is that all reports are in nice looking Excel .xlsx format .  Our biggest concern is IBM lack of support in the Icelandic market”

is a CO-OP that produces and distributes food products.

 

“The co-op ownership requires complex and specialized accounting procedures that are unique to our businesses. We chose Hugmar Toolkit because of its capability of solving challenging programming problems and working with our data on a web-based user interface. We have solved multiple complex issues with the tool. Most recently we tabbed into Journals for the Sales Order and Invoicing Modules. Now we can answer questions about who did what and when quickly. An IT activity that could take a great deal of effort to resolve before.”

„We were running an unsupported ERP system on the IBM i, when we met Throstur. Hugmar Toolkit was installed and DB2 journals were activated. First tangible results were fully flexed out browser-based query system for all sales related data and drilldown into documents wherever they were stored. Even regeneration of older sales orders and invoices was enabled and the documents stored in the toolkit database. We adopted Trello on the shop floor and Hugmar Toolkit made sure Trello got the info from the Order System as orders were maintained in the system. The legacy ERP was never tampered with. The Hugmar Toolkit did the heavy lifting .”

is in the Equipment and Tools distribution business.

 

“Hugmar Toolkit extended the life of our unsupported ERP system for a few years by enhancing existing functions and adding some new ones along the way. Querying and analyzing customer sales data was revolutionized. We created a new WordPress/WooCommerce website, that was managed in real time by Hugmar Toolkit as middleware between the legacy ERP and the website. In addition, we benefited from reduced processing times for PO procurement and store warehouse transfers.”
