UAB Elgerta: 30 years of reliability, innovation, and technology leadership
"How modern business management systems helped Elgerta achieve high efficiency and customer trust"
Introduction
UAB Elgerta is an electronics component distribution company established in Lithuania, successfully operating for over 30 years. The company is an independent group of local distributors, officially representing well-known electronics component manufacturers in the Baltic States and Poland. The company is renowned for its reliability, innovation, and high engineering competence, securing long-term trust from customers and partners. The Elgerta team provides professional technical support, helps find the best technical solutions, and pays special attention to customer needs.
Customer challenges
Despite its long-standing experience, Elgerta constantly faced modern business challenges. As business volumes grew and the partner network expanded, there was a need to manage operations more efficiently: from order processing to inventory accounting in various countries.
The old ERP system, including the SAP implemented in 2011, and the EDI solution for automating order exchanges with one of the main partners, no longer met modern needs. Data was fragmented, some tasks were performed manually, and integration with supplier and customer systems was limited. Local accounting requirements and fast data management demanded a more modern, flexible solution.
Searching for and implementing solutions
In search of the most suitable solution, Elgerta chose a modern open-source business management systemOdoo. This solution allowed for the integration of all key functions on one platform: warehouse, orders, finance, human resources accounting, and EDI management.
During the implementation, the company closely collaborated with experienced Odoo specialists to ensure that the modules were maximally tailored to the specific needs of the company. Specialized integration modules were created for strategic partners, localized accounting functions were implemented, and warehouse management was optimized, including tracking of batches/serial numbers and automatic order splitting for partial shipments.
The deployment took place in phases: employees were trained, the system operated in a trial period alongside the old tools, and after successful testing, all business management was transferred to the Odoo platform.
Value to the client
The new system immediately provided tangible benefits:
- The integrated warehouse and logistics management system allowed real-time tracking of inventory both at the headquarters and in foreign warehouses.
- The finance department saved countless hours due to automated reports, including VAT declarations.
- Employees across all departments work with the same up-to-date data, increasing productivity and internal trust.
These changes directly improved customer service: orders are processed faster, deadlines are met accurately, and electronic document exchange has become seamless.
Results and achievements
After the new system was implemented:
- The order processing time was reduced from several hours to several minutes.
- Errors have decreased – the system automatically captures incorrect or missing data.
- The increase in efficiency allowed serving more customers without adding employees.
- The company's reliability has strengthened: partners can expect timely order fulfillment and smooth data exchange.
Employees feel they have achieved a significant victory – successfully overcoming technological challenges has boosted their confidence in the system and their own competencies.
A look into the future
Elgerta does not plan to stop – the company aims to further expand the application of EDI solutions, connect new partners in Lithuania and abroad, and plans to implement new modules in the Odoo system with artificial intelligence solutions for invoice processing and sales analytics.
With a flexible and advanced business management platform, Elgerta is ready to quickly adapt to market changes while maintaining core values – reliability, innovation, and engineering competence. This success story is just one of many steps towards a brighter future driven by technological advancement.
