Automation partner for infra, construction and related industries

Helps transform to a fully digitally supported construction process

Companies that automate their processes are better equipped to compete in today's rapidly changing world. "Automation helps companies increase efficiency, reduce costs, improve quality and gain competitive advantage," said Theo van Meijel, director at VanMeijel Automation. "VanMeijel helps the infra, construction and related industries address major challenges by digitizing processes."

Challenges in construction

Challenges such as the PFAS and nitrogen crisis, the energy transition we find ourselves in, the continuing scarcity in the labor market, the need to build circularly and sustainably... "There are quite a few," says Theo, explaining that VanMeijel can make precisely the difference by supporting companies in digitizing primary processes and at the administrative level. "With our broad ERP system for construction, we can optimize many business processes. We do this in a very approachable way and especially together with the client. "

Automation Partner

That is exactly where the distinguishing factor at VanMeijel lies. For more than 35 years, the family business has valued its relationship with its customers. "That hasn't changed since the new generation is at the helm," emphasizes Peter van Meijel, who runs the company together with brother Theo and Jacob Koffeman in an open and personal manner. "We are working in a fresh and dynamic way to develop innovative products together with our customers that respond to changing market conditions. With the goal that they get the perfect solution for the challenges in their specific business operations and thus get a grip on their projects."

Customer-specific processes and integrated working

"In doing so, Metacom is the flexible ERP platform for companies in the construction and infra sector, enabling companies to take a first essential digital step in a user-friendly and easily accessible way," Theo continues. He notices a clear need among companies to work integrally. "Not only within the disks of a company, but across the entire chain. And that's the beauty of it: our solutions for project, financial, logistics and service management are fully in line with the way of working in the construction industry as well as fully responding to today's social relevance."

Sustainability Calculator

A great example with which VanMeijel demonstrates its perfect response to market needs is the addition of calculating sustainability data in the calculation phase. "In the new release of Metacom, we have added the possibility of sustainability calculations," says Theo. "When a company calculates the cost price and sales price, it can also immediately calculate what the work means in terms of CO2 and nitrogen emissions. With this, the company is able to optimize between sustainability and cost."

We continue to develop

"VanMeijel is always continuing to develop both technically and functionally," says Theo. "To achieve this, we have established the concept of 'studios'. Here anyone can submit ideas. We select the best idea and around it we form a studio with the right people. That studio works with great focus on that new proposition. The great thing is that we do this together with customers and come up with very creative solutions! Solutions that the market needs and that really help our customers move forward."

Metacom is the perfect ERP system for this, one that can be set up well for customer-specific processes, but is also a standard springboard that companies can use to make a flying start in digitization after implementation. "Whether it's a basic package or customization, the most important thing is that companies can really build on us which gives them the space and peace of mind to focus on their own distinctive character."
