🔧 Real-World IT Optimization: How GRIDSEARCH Drives Digital Transformation for Manufacturing and Mid-Sized Enterprises in the EU
From strategic IT audits and smart interoperability to sustainable automation, GRIDSEARCH delivers pragmatic, validated solutions that increase operational efficiency—without wasteful investment.
🧩 1: Strategic IT Evaluation — Your First Step Toward Efficient Digitalization
In many mid-sized and large European companies, digital transformation begins not with a new ERP or cloud migration — but with clarity. Too often, businesses find themselves stuck in digital chaos: isolated applications, inconsistent processes, data blind spots, and rising IT costs with unclear benefits.
❗ The Real Problem: Technology Without Strategy
CRM tools installed but unused
Siloed departments and fragmented workflows
No coherent IT map or architecture
Investments made without Return on Technology (RoT) visibility
GRIDSEARCH offers a practical solution: Strategic IT Evaluation — a service that brings clarity to complexity and sets the direction for future-proof tech decisions.
🧠 What is a Strategic IT Evaluation?
A 3-step process designed for regulated industries and competitive markets:
Business Analysis & Objective Mapping
What do you want: Growth? Control? Automation?
Who internally drives or blocks change?
Assessment of Current IT Landscape
What works? What’s redundant?
Are compliance and cybersecurity standards met?
Actionable Recommendations & Digital Roadmap
Prioritized by impact and feasibility
Clear IT decisions for integration, upgrade or elimination
🛠️ GRIDSEARCH Methodology: Clarity + Execution
Digital maturity benchmarks and process mining
Stakeholder involvement to reduce resistance to change
Tool-agnostic recommendations (we don’t sell solutions — we evaluate)
📊 Case Study: Recycling Company Active in 3 European Countries
Problem: 7 disconnected software tools, zero traceability over waste flows, data losses
GRIDSEARCH Actions:
Strategic audit & internal interviews
Removal of 3 non-essential systems
Redesign and integration of logistics and ERP software
Results:50% cut in direct IT costs
+300% increase in traceability
Restored trust across departments
🔗 2: Interoperability Without Overhaul — Connecting Systems Smartly
Any company that has grown organically ends up with a mosaic of systems: legacy ERPs, bolted-on CRMs, critical Excel files, even custom code. When these systems don’t communicate, the cost is clear:
Lost hours in exports and manual input
No single source of truth
Frustration in teams and poor decision-making
Interoperability is not a luxury — it’s a requirement for efficiency and scalability.
❗ Signs You Lack Interoperability:
Same client entered in 3 different systems
No complete visibility from order to invoice
Reports built manually, often incomplete or inaccurate
🧠 What is Interoperability?
IT systems can exchange data securely, coherently, and automatically — with no duplication or manual conversions.
✔️ Technical (APIs, shared protocols)
✔️ Semantic (shared meaning of key data, like “active client”)
✔️ Organizational (decision-making across departments)
🛠️ How GRIDSEARCH Enables Smart Interoperability:
Systems audit: What works? What needs integration?
Design of APIs or connectors for current tools
Middleware and smart ETL (AI-based)
Data model alignment for consistency
RPA automation when APIs are not available
📊 Case Study: Agro-Industrial Distributor — Romania
Problem: ERP, CRM, ordering tool, and accounting software were isolated.
Solution:
API connectors for data sync
RPA bots for accounting data extraction
Unified operational dashboard
Results:-75% time spent on reports
Fully deduplicated customer data
Increased satisfaction in sales & accounting teams
🔐 Bonus: EU Funding for Interoperability Projects
Eligible under PNRR, ERDF, POIM, especially when aligned with:
Sustainability goals
Public-private partnerships
ESG traceability and reporting
GRIDSEARCH supports the creation of technical files and co-financing strategies for eligible companies.
⚙️ 3: Sustainable Automation for Industrial Efficiency
Many companies want to automate — but struggle to define where, how, and with what return. GRIDSEARCH applies automation with surgical precision, focusing on value, not hype.
🧠 Our Approach:
We don’t automate for the sake of it. We start with a process-first audit, backed by data:
Where are the repetitive, manual steps in your workflows?
What is the hidden cost of errors, delays, and rework?
Where can RPA or AI provide immediate relief?
🛠️ GRIDSEARCH Framework:
Process mapping and time tracking
Automation feasibility matrix
Pilot implementation in small, measurable sprints
Ongoing monitoring of ROI and operational impact
📊 Case Study: Manufacturing Company — Central Europe
Challenge: Manual coordination between CRM and ERP caused order errors and delivery delays
GRIDSEARCH Actions:
Mapped order-to-delivery process
Deployed RPA bots to update systems in parallel
Added AI-based dashboard for performance oversight
Results:-42% response time
Order accuracy from 85% to 99.3%
Estimated annual savings: €87,000
