Enfotek ERP and Software Solutions General Manager, Tuğrul Tamtürk, shared insights on the expectations for 2024 and the projects Enfotek will be undertaking this year. In the third part of our interview, however, Tamtürk discussed how 2023 was a significant year for Enfotek, highlighting that EDS is more than just software—it's an operating system. His remarks are as follows:
"Last year, an independent consulting firm capable of installing Global ERP Brands and having worked with various accounting programs, selected EDS as the 'Best Vertical ERP in the Ready-Made Clothing Sector' among 30 ERP software options in Turkey. We proudly announce this to many of our customers and prospects.
Our achievements, such as the Digital Transformation Report Card, Interactive Training Systems, industry-specific PLM, tracking of design processes, and the ability to deliver 360-degree solutions from production to accounting, are the fruits of 25 years of labor. As of now, there’s no equivalent in the industry capable of these. EDS has developed 8 versions to date, with at least three years of R&D for each version. No other software company in Turkey has achieved such comprehensive development.
2023: THE MOST SUCCESSFUL YEAR FOR ENFOTEK
The most distinctive feature of EDS compared to other software is its industry expertise. It offers solutions related to business processes for the companies it enters, or even if it encounters an unprecedented situation, it finds a solution. We are a know-how company. Know-how is not just about producing solutions; it's about having the technology and knowledge to do so, which means having the infrastructure to quickly solve even new problems. In Turkey, the difference between a software company and a know-how company has not yet been fully understood.
The reason why the software can be installed in as short as three months, and modules like stock management and purchasing can be immediately operational, leading to up to 50% labor savings, lies in 25 years of sectoral experience and knowledge being managed and transformed into custom solutions.
EDS is more than just a software system; it's an operating system. ENFOTEK ERP solutions adapt quickly to customer needs through the agile program techniques of XRADSTUDIO. ENFOTEK sets up a system with its accompanying know-how that allows you to manage your operations faster, more efficiently, with higher quality and at lower cost. This is not just us talking; consulting firms that have reviewed our solutions in the field say so. When compared to general ERP systems, ENFOTEK ERP solutions are acknowledged to be intelligence-filled systems by those firms themselves.
ENFOTEK MADE ITS MARK IN 2023
In 2023, Enfotek became one of the rare companies by integrating devices like Keypad, Light Warning Systems into ERPs, making integration with smart devices. In collaboration with Konsan, a long-time provider of machinery and automation solutions in the textile sector domestically and internationally, we integrated our IOT Software into Konsan Fabric Quality Control Devices. Last year, we also implemented 'B2B' digital integration from ERP to ERP in the field. We facilitated common language communication between knitting-fabric and ready-made clothing-garment manufacturing. It wasn’t just about code compatibility; we also achieved data compatibility between Enfotek EDS and Enfotek MDS. We managed to generate product codes for the supplier with the customer's raw material code, record product orders, and initiate order records. Material integration, automatic product creation, and entry of order terms and quantities without human intervention were implemented. This SCM integration will result in significant labor savings. It's a major transformation in the way of working and the paradigm.”
