Ahmet Bulca, the experienced Planning Specialist of GNT Tekstil, answered Enfotek's questions. Bulca said, “There was no general operating order in the company before EDS. Everyone was doing their job independently and in their own way. If a person was absent from the company, there were problems. That's what EDS eliminated and spread the information throughout the company," he said. Ahmet Bulca's statements are as follows:
Hello Mr. Ahmet, can you briefly introduce yourself?
Hello. I'm Ahmet Bulca. I was born in 1977 in Bursa and graduated from Uludag University, Department of Econometrics. I have been working as a Planning Specialist in the field of apparel since 2002. I have been working at GNT Tekstil for the last 10 years.
Can we get information about GNT Tekstil from you?
It is a company established in 1998. It has grown from a small-scale business to its present position. We currently employ about 350 people. We also have knitwear and washing units, especially embroidery. All production is going on over GNT Tekstil. We're trying to plan it. I think GNT Tekstil is at the top of the apparel. The products are very high quality. It is a company that works directly with the customer-focus. And so, since we have a lot of planning and details, most of the work is carried out on EDS.
How many years have you been using EDS?
We have been using EDS for 5 years.
Why did you choose?
Before EDS, there was no general operating order in the company. Everyone was doing their job independently and in their own way. If a person was absent from the company, there were problems. EDS eliminated this and spread the information throughout the company. Information can now be shared across the company at the same time. Anyone can enter the information they want. This is one of the aspects that puts us at ease.
So, what are your favorite features in terms of usage?
I like to make a bill of materials because I am a planner. In fact, most people don't like the bill of materials. I don’t know why but I love it. I like the automatic delivery of the order. I like to leave the missing fabric proportionally missing. The program saves us from manually entering the data one by one.
What would you say about the consultancy services of Enfotek?
5 years ago, we worked intensively with Enfotek for 3-4 months to create an EDS culture in our company. They've been very helpful. When we started to use the program effectively, we saw each other less and less. Our need has decreased. Otherwise, whenever we call, they give immediate support.
What suggestions would you give to companies in the installation process to make ERP easier to install and more functional?
In our industry, there is such a thing as ERP resistance. There is a phase of EDS that is initially thought to be complex and complicating. However, these thoughts go away when you see the benefits after using it. It is necessary to draw the roof well during the installation process. First of all, they should sit down and determine how the product trees, color scales should be, and how to control the stocks. Then they must enter the system and set a roadmap. It should be continued. Enfotek is already helping companies in these processes. Over time, the program itself runs.
So, what kinds of added value does EDS have for companies?
The volume occupied by textiles and apparel is large. The work needs to be spread out from individuals and spread throughout the company in a systematic way. Since the disruption of the work is based on the person, we experienced these kinds of problems before. Or we had to send e-mails to dozens of people to provide information. That's what EDS saves you from. Or, you can get answers to questions such as "did the fabric arrive, how many kg did it come in?" from the program. By getting rid of unnecessary questions, you reduce your workload. The other part works very well in the stocks part. As soon as you demand the needs, the data comes to you. And you can revise your need. Normally these are data you cannot see. And finally, we and Enfotek are Izmir company. Naturally, they get back to us in 1 hour at the latest for support.
