AJ Products is a leading mail order company for office furniture, materials handling and storage solutions. Founded in Sweden in 1975, the company has grown into an international organisation operating in 19 markets with over 20 subsidiaries, two factories, and more than 900 employees. AJ Products offers over 15,000 products and generates a turnover of approximately €2 billion.
AJ Products needed to replace a highly complex and time-consuming performance management process based on hundreds of Excel files. The objective was to implement a robust, flexible, and scalable solution that would centralise data, improve visibility into sales and production, and support better analysis of financial and operational performance. The company also wanted to streamline budgeting and forecasting processes while enabling future growth and improved decision-making across markets.
AJ Products gained detailed insight into both production and sales, enabling better understanding of performance across products, markets, and operations.
By replacing manual Excel-based workflows with Mercur Business Control, the company reduced iterative processes and saved 32% in man-hours.
The organisation streamlined its planning cycle to two forecasts and one budget, accelerating forecasting and freeing up time for simulations and scenario analysis.
Enhanced access to data allowed AJ Products to better understand buying behaviour, track trends, and allocate resources more effectively.
With a scalable and flexible solution in place, AJ Products is better equipped to support its planned 50% business expansion and adapt to changing market conditions.
Mercur has helped us a lot to look at sales data, profitability and where we need to focus our resources in the future and adapt to the current situation.
