De Regt Conveyor Systems in Biervliet, the Netherlands, wanted to further digitise its purchasing process and reduce the manual handling involved in exchanging order information with suppliers.
Working together, De Regt and Fabory implemented a customised digital connection through the SCSN platform. Orders, packing-list information and invoices can now be exchanged electronically, with the data integrated into De Regt’s internal ERP system.

The challenge: further digitising the purchasing process
De Regt specialises in internal transport systems and storage solutions for bulk and unit goods. The company was already considering how it could further automate the ordering process with Fabory when Fabory approached De Regt with the same idea.
Fabory colleagues Kim Hertman and Branco Kloosterman worked with De Regt to map the company’s requirements before the digital connection was implemented.
The objective was to create a process that could exchange purchasing information electronically and reduce the need to enter the same data manually at different stages of the order process.
Connecting De Regt and Fabory through SCSN
The resulting solution uses the SCSN platform to automate the exchange of order information between De Regt and Fabory.
The connection was configured around De Regt’s processes and integrated with Fabory as its supplier. Information exchanged through the platform can be connected directly with De Regt’s internal ERP system.
This approach forms part of the wider digital solutions Fabory offers to help customers digitalise purchasing and order processes.

Integration with De Regt’s ERP system
The exchanged data is integrated with De Regt’s internal ERP system, allowing information from the Fabory connection to become part of the company’s existing digital processes.
This reduces manual handling of order information and gives De Regt clearer visibility of the data being exchanged.
According to De Regt, deviations become visible more quickly, allowing the team to respond when required. The company also reports improved quality and reliability of the exchanged article data, together with time savings.
Getting the master data right before go-live
Preparing the underlying data was an important part of the implementation.
Before the connection went live, Fabory and De Regt worked together to check that the required business and product data was correctly available in both systems.
Cleaning up the master data was a key step. Ensuring that both systems contained the correct information helped prepare the digital connection for operation.
Better visibility and more reliable article data
De Regt reports that purchasing through the platform has helped further digitise its ordering process. Deviations are now visible more quickly, while the quality and reliability of exchanged article data has improved and the process saves time.

The result: a more digitally connected ordering process
The SCSN connection gives De Regt and Fabory a structured way to exchange order, packing-list and invoice information digitally.
Integration with De Regt’s ERP system reduces the need for manual data entry, while the work completed on master data supports the quality and reliability of information exchanged between the two organisations.
For De Regt, the implementation supports further digitisation of the purchasing process and gives the team better visibility of deviations in exchanged order information.
