A major player in Dutch construction since 1855. Dura Vermeer has grown into a group with over 3,000 employees and €2.1 billion in revenue, known for its innovative and sustainable approach to building and infrastructure.
Acknowledging the rapid advancements in digitisation, Dura Vermeer identified the need to modernise its enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, which has evolved organically over a 30-year span.
Impressed by Utilus’ track record in executing large-scale projects, Dura Vermeer opted for their services to overhaul its decades-old ERP system. The company also valued Utilus’ strategic methodology, which began with a proof-of-concept to address technical and financial considerations.
"Both Dura Vermeer and Utilus felt a custom-built system was the optimal solution for the company’s complex and varied needs.
The tailored system is designed to handle a multitude of tasks, from project planning to centralised purchasing."
Apart from the benefits already mentioned, the custom system is expected to yield significant cost savings. What Dura Vermeer also values in Utilus, with the words of Dura Vermeer IT Director Joost den Heijer, is ‘their pragmatic, results-driven approach. While they can be blunt, their focus on the end result resonates with Dura Vermeer’s own engineering mindset’.
Utilus. Do the work.
