Zuelling: iDempiere solutions, services, and expertise
Why is Zuellig listed here?
Through Michael Powacht. With over 20 years of experience in commercial ERP software implementations (SAP, Oracle), Michael turned into an iDempiere advocate and sponsor in 2016, when implementing iDempiere for Zuellig Industrial. A complex, multi-country, multi-organization, and multi-currency business environment requiring multiple ledgers and financial statements for cost and profit centers. He and his team help SMEs and larger organizations in Thailand evaluate iDempiere as an alternative to commercial ERP solutions and provide implementation services with support for local accounting and tax requirements.
Zuellig is recognized as a Top Maker of iDempiere. iDempiere would not be what it is today without the help and support of its amazing community. Contribution is what drives iDempiere’s continuous innovation and top makers are those who contribute the most back to the project, ensuring it remains future proof.
This is an open initiative — all companies are welcome to become makers by contributing to the iDempiere project.
