Osby Glas Continues to Expand - Ordering via A+W iQuote Webshop

Osby Glas has been working with A+W's software for nearly forty years. The A+W branch office for Northern and Northeastern Europe is in Halmstad, almost right around the corner. Not only do people speak the same language there, they also share a positive "spirit" when it comes to modern technologies.

Osby Glas CEO Joel Rosenqvist: "Our employees and A+W work together as a team, and in particular, we work in solution-oriented fashion." This works well since Osby Glas also has outstanding in-house IT experts. Joel knows that A+W currently has some very interesting new products in its portfolio. "If there are new A+W software solutions, we would like to be among the first to use them, because they always provide us with a significant competitive advantage."

This was already the case in the 1980s, when Osby Glas was one of the first Swedish flat glass companies to use the brand-new A+W optimization software XOPT. Since then, Osby Glas has saved many thousands of tons of glass waste. Today, the company works with A+W software, from quotation creation to order entry to overall production control.

Osby Glas has been producing insulated glass since the beginning of the 1970s, and with production of approximately 150,000 sq m/year, today it is one of the leading insulated glass producers in Sweden.

Other products are interior glass, silicone-sealed facade elements, and especially ever more safety glass. The company's products are delivered all over Sweden by the company's own fleet.

Approx. eighty employees produced sales of SEK 146 million in 2017; for 2018, an increase to SEK 165 million is anticipated. Osby Glas AB has been part of Beijer Industriutveckling AB-Unternehmensgruppe since 2015.

Thanks to its participation in UAB Stronglasas in Lithuania, Osby Glas has expanded its resources to include critical production capacities such as roller coater coating, screen printing, TG, and LSG.

Networked everywhere

The more varied and high-quality a glass processor's product line and product depth, the more critical it is to use a high-performance, industry-specific ERP system that can handle the enormous range of variants and map and control the company's complex business processes flexibly. Osby Glas successfully uses the ERP system A+W Business in the commercial sector.

With it, the Osby Glas team can not only enter, copy, and manage quotations, orders, credits, purchase orders, and inquiries, it can also control other company areas (e.g. storage, purchasing, shipping, route planning, etc.).

Joel and his management team especially appreciate the many possibilities for entrepreneurial analyses, statistics, and evaluation. Here, A+W Analytics, a Business Intelligence program, also assists by combining and evaluating data from multiple sources and placing them on a uniform basis.
