Trade365 accelerates processes and delivers a future-ready ERP foundation

Marree is a technical wholesaler offering a broad portfolio of hardware and tools for the construction and industrial sectors. The company had reached the limits of what its previous ERP system could support – in terms of scalability, standardization, and compliance with modern industry requirements.

They were looking for a solution capable of standardizing processes, reducing extensive customizations, automating critical workflows, and securing a modern cloud-based future.

Marree chose Trade365, an industry-specific extension for Business Central developed by Context&’s sister company within The Digital Neighborhood, GAC.

Ben Marree, Managing Director, explains: “Trade365 is a continuously evolving SaaS solution that eliminates the need for customizations.”

According to Robert van Plateringen, the EDI integrations and counter functionality were decisive factors in their decision:
“With the EDI integrations and counter functionality, we were able to implement our processes entirely within the standard,” he says.

Marree particularly highlights the consultants’ industry knowledge and the efficient communication throughout the implementation:
“We aimed for a short implementation timeline, and thanks to strong collaboration, we achieved exactly that,” says Robert van Plateringen.

Since implementing Trade365, Marree has realised substantial efficiency gains: faster purchasing, reduced manual handling and improved customer service through quicker availability checks.

“Since we started using Trade365, our purchasing process has become much faster. With the purchase suggestions, we instantly see what needs to be ordered, and we can serve customers more quickly,” says Robert van Plateringen, adding:

“Goods receipt, logistics, sales, purchasing … everything fits together! With Trade365, we are ready for the future – and with features such as Copilot, the possibilities are endless.”

This solution was developed in collaboration with our sister company in The Digital Neighborhood, GAC.
