As a major player in the International Christmas lighting and decorations business with offices in the U.K., Germany and an H.Q. in Sweden, the company decided to replace their twenty year old system that had worked so well over that period of time with a state of the art I.T. system representing one of the largest investments the company has ever made.
I met up with U.K. Managing Director Oscar Johansson recently to find out more.
Oscar told me that the new system will work across all three of their offices and speed up all areas of the business. Of course there will be a short period of transition whilst the group become totally familiar with this new system, which will enable the company to handle a higher demand internally, whilst also making it easier and quicker for their customers to receive information and updates regarding their orders.
“it has been an incredibly intense year for Konstsmide as we have worked to keep up with high demand”
Konstsmide are confident that this new system will keep them in the forefront for many years to come and help improve internal efficiency.
Staff are already being trained and their reaction so far has been most positive enabling Konstsmide to deal far more quickly and efficiently with all aspects of the business and as Oscar continued “It has been an incredibly intense year for Konstsmide as we have worked to keep up with high demand. At times we have had to work in our new system, essentially doubling the work load in certain instances.”
Harrogate has always been a major show for Konstsmide and as Oscar told me “I am always excited when I arrive at the show and happy to be back in the town. We also recommend to all customers that they visit the show.”.
As usual being at the forefront of lighting design, there will be many new items for customers to familiarize themselves with when visiting the company’s stand in Hall ‘M’ at Harrogate.
As a major innovator in the lighting sector of the Christmas business, the company continue to be at the forefront of European design and safety, something they started over 80 years ago.
