Success Story: shinsen
WABION & gOOGLE CLOUD ENABLE SHINSEN TO CREATE NEW BUSINESS MODEL IN A FEW WEEKS
To stay on a sustainable growth path, Shinsen has to produce, ship, and deliver new products very quickly. Launched in 1996 with a mission to provide Swiss consumers and retailers with the highest-quality goods, Shinsen turned to Wabion to unlock the power of Google Cloud for the development of a cloud-native ERP system tailor-made for Shinsen’s demanding production processes. Read the entire Success Story on the collaboration of Shinsen, Wabion and Google Cloud.
„Working with Google Cloud and Wabion, we’ve been able to support the production processes we need—from simple to highly complex—without any negative impacts on time to market or on product quality and safety.“
Jürgen Auerbach
CEO, Shinsen
A tailor-made ERP for demanding production processes
Shinsen’s production processes not only include more than 1000 raw materials (each with 120 descripitve fields), but also have to comply with government regulations, quality assurance procedures, supplier qualification, and other fast-changing demands.
As standard ERP systems didn’t meet Shinsen’s specific needs, Wabion developed a customized, flexible and dynamic solution connecting various systems such as Sheets and Apps Script to the core platform of Firebase. As a result, Shinsen’s new dynamic database delivers the flexibility the company was looking for.
“Shinsen has embraced a cloud-first philosophy that has given us the opportunity to build a specific ERP solution to enhance and transform Shinsen’s core processes. The result is a testament to the possibilities of Google Cloud, as well as the value of having a partner like Wabion to unlock the power of technology.”
Michael Gomez
Managing Director, Wabion Switzerland
Opening the door for new services
Before the COVID-19 pandemic, Shinsen’s products were mainly purchased by office workers.In response to the lockdown, the company decided to start a new direct-to-consumer service model, using the backbone established by Wabion and Google Cloud. Developed in just two weeks, the new delivery service called Bowlz became a huge success.
“As a fresh food company, our customers expect us to produce, ship, and deliver on their orders the same day. To accomplish that, we need the right IT solutions and support to serve our customers and efficiently manage our base data and core processes. Google Cloud and Wabion are a perfect fit for us.”
