CHB Informática

The use of GeneXus by CHB Informática of Brazil allowed the accelerated development of 25 systems for the shoe industry and the sugar and alcohol production sectors.

Founded in 1986, CHB Informática is located in the city of Franca/SP, and is dedicated exclusively to the development of ERPS for the shoe industry and sugar and alcohol plants. Currently, the company has 40 employees and around 200 clients in the States of Sao Paulo, Paraná, Minas Gerais, Santa Catarina, Goias, Pará, Mato Grosso, Pernambuco, Ceará, and Mato Grosso do Sul. The products developed by CHB total 25 modules that range from human resources, accounting and invoicing to the industrial and agricultural areas.

When they decided to use GeneXus and GXplorer, CHB Informática gained agility in the development of its 25-module ERP. "We developed the systems in just three years. When we chose GeneXus, we actually created an association with ARTech, where they focus on technological updates and we are exclusively devoted to our business, with total confidence that any technological need will be quickly matched by the tool", said Mário Arias Martinez, partner and director of CHB.

The systems developed by the company cover the areas of human resources (payroll, "ponto eletrônico," PPP, PCMSO, recruitment and rural page), administration (accounting, tax records, financial, current accounts, invoicing, sales, purchases and stock), production (PCP, external sales management, industrial maintenance and fleet control), agriculture (agricultural costs, scale, industrial laboratory, sucrose laboratory, freight and service control, and agricultural contracts), BI (Business Intelligence), and Web.

At the beginning, CHB worked on COBOL, but due to the need to use the different databases and platforms available in the market, as well as new graphic technologies, BI and Web, it had to change the development tool and start using Delphi. "At that point, we encountered difficulties in portability, standardization and training of professionals. Then when we analyzed GeneXus and found the solution for all these problems" states Carlos Henrique de Barros, partner and director of the company. "As our company's focus is to develop applications for our clients' businesses, our greatest research need is addressing the operating process of our segments. For this reason, we should not depart from this focus by worrying about new technologies and language changes", adds Martinez.

Currently, CHB estimates that approximately 2,000 users take advantage of the systems created for its about 200 clients. "In our case the result is very significant. We are confident to say that if we had not chosen GeneXus, it would have been impossible to develop our systems within the time and costs frameworks we had. Additionally, we find it easy to control and maintain our applications, which was a very complex task with the previous technologies", says Barros.
