About Fortaco

As a leading full-solution provider for OEMs in the off-highway machine industries, Fortaco offers assembly services, vehicle cabins, steel fabrications, technology, and zero-emission solutions. To support operational efficiency, Fortaco decided to implement cloud ERP across six European countries.

With digitalization and access to live data playing a crucial role in daily operations, it was imperative that the planned cloud ERP migration would not disrupt business activities. Fortaco looked for expert guidance to support a smooth cutover and minimize deployment risk.
