  • From monthly delays to instant updates: Turning Product Data into a Growth Engine at GIM (“Global Industrial Manufacturer”)

    From monthly delays to instant updates: Turning Product Data into a Growth Engine at GIM (“Global Industrial Manufacturer”)

    The Client

    GIM (Global Industrial Manufacturer), a world leader in metal-cutting tools and tooling systems, offers an extensive and highly specialized product portfolio. Supporting a vast global network of distributors and partners, GIM relies on accurate, real-time product data to maintain operational excellence, ensure partner satisfaction, and drive growth in competitive manufacturing markets.

    The Challenge

    As a global manufacturing leader, GIM faced mounting pressure to modernize their product data distribution processes:

    • Slow and manual data distribution – Product updates were processed in monthly batches, delaying time-to-market and risking the delivery of outdated information.
    • Limited Partner Access and Flexibility – Without real-time access, distributors had to manually update their systems, increasing friction and slowing delivery.
    • High Risk of Errors and Inconsistencies – Manual processes led to frequent errors, undermining trust with partners and impacting product availability.
    • Legacy System Constraints – The existing infrastructure lacked the flexibility and scale to meet real-time demands or onboard new partners quickly.

    For a manufacturing innovator like GIM, these challenges were not just technical, they directly impacted customer satisfaction, operational efficiency, and ultimately, revenue growth.

    The Solution

    IPS partnered with GIM to implement a future-ready, real-time product data platform, empowering GIM to transform their global partner operations.

    Key initiatives included:

    ✅ Scalable Cloud-Native Architecture – Built a flexible, cloud-based platform capable of supporting hundreds of partners and millions of data accesses per month without additional infrastructure investments.
    ✅ Granular Access Management for Partners – Designed fine-grained access control to tailor data visibility based on individual partner needs, boosting both security and compliance.
    ✅ Seamless Legacy System Integration – Integrated existing legacy data sources into the new environment to enable real-time connectivity without disrupting ongoing operations.

    Results & Impact

    The modernization had a direct, measurable impact on GIM’s operations and growth capabilities

    🚀 Instant Product Data Updates – Reduced distribution time from once per month to real-time, accelerating partners’ ability to market and sell new products.
    💰 Significant Operational Savings – Eliminating costly manual processes freed internal teams for strategic activities and reduced the risk of costly errors.

  • From 10 Days to 24 Hours: How Agricover Is Redefining Financial Access for Romania’s Small Farmers

    The Client

    Agricover is Romania’s leading financial services provider dedicated to the agricultural sector, empowering small and medium-sized farms with tailored financing solutions. In a country where over 700,000 small farmers struggle to access traditional credit, Agricover’s mission is clear: bridge the financing gap and drive rural economic growth through accessible, innovative financial products.

    The Challenge

    To scale its impact, Agricover needed to revolutionize how small farmers accessed financing:

    • Limited Access to Traditional Credit – Many farmers lacked formal credit histories, putting traditional bank loans out of reach.
    • Slow, Manual Loan Approvals – Credit approvals could take up to 10 days, delaying critical investments in seeds, equipment, and infrastructure, thus limiting farm productivity.
    • Operational Costs – Manual, paper-based, verification processes strained resources, created bottlenecks, and reduced customer satisfaction.

    To truly empower Romania’s agricultural sector, Agricover needed a scalable, fully digital platform to streamline loan access, improve operational efficiency, and support future product expansion.

    The Solution

    In partnership with Microsoft and Avaelgo (an IPS Group company), Agricover launched MyAgricover – a fully digital financing platform that combined automation, cloud scalability, and seamless customer experience.

    1. Automated and Accelerated Loan Processing

    • Leveraged Microsoft Azure API Management to connect internal and external data sources, enabling instant credit assessments.
    • Introduced Robotic Process Automation (RPA) bots to automate applications verification, eliminating manual handling and drastically reducing approval times.

    2. Enhanced Customer Engagement through Digital Channels

    • Integrated Microsoft Teams to provide fast, video-based customer support.
    • Added self-service portals where farmers could submit and track applications in real time, improving transparency and trust.

    3. Scalable and Secure Cloud Infrastructure

    • Built on Microsoft Azure and Microsoft Fabric to ensure high availability, data protection, and regulatory compliance.
    • Designed for growth, enabling future expansion into new financial services and regional markets.

    Results & Impact

    The transformation delivered immediate high-impact results:

    ✅ Loan Approval Times Cut from 10 Days to 24 Hours – Farmers can now access funds faster, enabling quicker investments in their operations.
    ✅ Expanded Financial Inclusion – Thousands of small farmers, underserved by traditional banks, gained easier access to essential funding.
    ✅ Streamlined Operations and Lower Cost – Automation boosted efficiency, reduced processing costs, and freed up strategic resources.
    ✅ Scalable Platform for Future Growth – The cloud-native foundation supports the rollout of new financial products and services without disrupting existing operations.
    ✅ Empowering Rural Economies – Through faster financing Agricover helped small farmers grow their businesses and drive regional economic development in Romania’s agricultural sector.

    Why it Worked?

    Agricover needed more than technology, they needed a strategic transformation partner.
    IPS Group’s expertise in cloud enablement, automation, and financial services – combined with Avaelgo’s deep Microsoft Azure capabilities – helped re-imagine and rebuild Agricover’s financing mode for the digital age.
    Together, we didn’t just digitize loan processing, we accelerated economic growth and financial empowerment for a vital sector of Romania’s economy.
