Case study

Remain Software implemented TD/OMS at Accell IT Services. This subsidiary of   the Accell Group is the IT department of the largest bicycle manufacturer in the Netherlands. The well-known brands of Batavus, Koga Miyata and Sparta all fall under the Accell flag. TD/OMS from Remain ensures that software updates at Accell are less labour intensive. TD/OMS also make the updates a lot more consistent. At Accell, IT director Menno Bokslag and software manager Erik Lok were responsible for the implementation.

The Accell Group with its head office in Heerenveen, is a spin-off from ATAG, which nowadays is called ATAG ETNA Pelgrim Home Products (AEP Home Products). Up until 1998 both businesses belonged to the same concern. Menno Bokslag, director of Accell IT Services: “The two companies were comparable with each other with regard to their business processes. Steel products were produced in both the home products division and in the bicycle division. The production of the two divisions ran according to an identical process and the sales of both products took place via dealers." Focus on the core activities finally resulted in the split of the company into two independent parts.
