Accelerating Operational Planning with AI

A smart solution from Beyonder

At BOAL Extrusion, we believe that innovation is the driving force behind sustainable growth. That is why we are taking a strategic step in our digitalisation journey: together with Beyonder, we are investing in an advanced, AI-driven planning solution that helps us further optimise our complex supply chain and strengthen our competitive position.

Enhancing efficiency and reliability

In the dynamic manufacturing industry, predictable and scalable planning is crucial. By centralising data from multiple sources and using AI to elevate our operational planning - from production to transport - we are increasing both the efficiency and reliability of our deliveries.

 “We were looking for a scalable solution with a clear ROI to further strengthen our processes. Beyonder’s approach immediately appealed to us. By working step by step and focusing on the real bottlenecks in our transport planning, we were able to quickly build a strong business case. We can already see how this helps us reduce costs and increase predictability. That is crucial for our operations,” says Gertjan Hakkers, Managing Director.

Safeguarding knowledge

The impact of this digitalisation goes beyond operational gains alone. By translating our specialist knowledge into digital processes, we safeguard that expertise, make onboarding new colleagues much easier, and significantly reduce operational risk. In addition, we are investing in valuable intellectual property that strengthens our competitive position and directly contributes to the value of our organisation.

1+1=3

"This project is a perfect example of how you can accelerate together," adds Erik Moerkerken, Managing Partner of Beyonder. "True digital acceleration in the manufacturing industry happens at the intersection of people and technology. The deep manufacturing process knowledge from BOAL's specialists was crucial. By combining that with our expertise in digital acceleration and AI, you create a 1+1=3 situation. The BOAL team challenged us, and together we are now building a solution that truly makes a difference in their daily practice."
