About the customer
A growing glass manufacturer, unified across seven companies
Denver Glass manufactures shower doors and commercial storefront systems. As the organization expanded across seven companies, disconnected processes and spreadsheet-heavy workflows made inventory management, financial reporting, and operational consistency increasingly difficult.
With SAP Business One and Softengine WMS+, Denver Glass brought its companies onto one ERP platform—connecting quoting, production, inventory, purchasing, accounting, and warehouse operations while establishing more standardized processes across the organization.
The challenges
SEVEN COMPANIES, TOO MANY MANUAL PROCESSES
Before SAP Business One, Denver Glass relied heavily on spreadsheets for quoting, inventory management, journal entry templates, and tracking open orders. As the organization grew across seven companies, maintaining standardized processes became increasingly difficult. The company needed a connected ERP foundation that could improve visibility, reduce manual work, and bring its operations together on one platform.
Inventory management challenges
Denver Glass needed stronger inventory control and more efficient warehouse receiving across its operations.
Manual financial reporting
Financial reporting required significant manual effort, making it more difficult to access consistent information across every company.
Difficult to standardize
Operating across seven companies made maintaining consistent business processes increasingly challenging.
The solution
Seven companies, one connected ERP platform
Softengine implemented SAP Business One across Denver Glass, bringing all seven companies onto the same ERP foundation. The system now supports nearly every area of the business—from quoting and production to inventory, purchasing, and accounting—helping establish more consistent processes and information across the organization.
The solution
Stronger inventory control with Softengine WMS+
Softengine WMS+ extended SAP Business One into Denver Glass’s warehouse operations, strengthening inventory management and receiving. With warehouse activity connected directly to the ERP, the team gained better inventory control while reducing its reliance on the spreadsheet-heavy processes used before implementation.
The solution
Hands-on support through a complex rollout
With seven companies and many moving parts, Denver Glass’s ERP implementation required careful coordination. Softengine worked closely with the team throughout the transition and placed experts on-site at every company location during the first week of go-live. After implementation, responsive technical support continued to help employees confidently operate and improve the system.
The results
FASTER REPORTING, STRONGER CONTROL & STANDARDIZED OPERATIONS
With seven companies operating on SAP Business One, Denver Glass has established a more standardized foundation for managing its business. Financial reporting is significantly easier, reports can be accessed simultaneously across every company, and month-end close is now completed approximately one week faster.
Production orders and project codes provide better visibility into costs for larger projects, while Softengine WMS+ has strengthened warehouse receiving and inventory management. Custom queries also give the team better access to KPI and sales reporting, helping operational information move more easily throughout the business.
