With over a century of experience, Herogra Group leads the agricultural sector by offering innovative solutions to maximize crop yields.

Integrating diverse business lines such as agribusiness, logistics, and ancillary industries, and with key companies like Herogra Industrial, Fertinova, and Lysur, the group combines know-how and excellence to deliver value and sustainability to farmers.

Its core philosophy is based on a deep commitment to the land and the farmer, while continuously embracing innovation and sustainable development.

The group enjoys real-time access from any location and device, eliminating the need for manual maintenance and updates.

Modernize the ERP

Grupo Herogra identified the need to evolve toward a modern ERP that would ensure the adoption of the latest technologies. Its previous system, AX2009, heavily customized since its initial implementation, posed significant challenges for updates. After evaluating various alternatives, the group decided to migrate to D365 Finance & Operations in the cloud, aiming to maximize the use of the tool’s standard features, reduce customizations, and fully leverage the functional improvements offered by this solution, thus ensuring a more innovative, agile, and efficient future.

Implement D365 Finance & Operations

Grupo Herogra carried out a new implementation of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations, completely redesigning its processes to fully leverage the tool’s standard capabilities. To tackle this challenge, it relied on Minsait and Microsoft as strategic partners.

Minsait’s specialized solution, designed for chemical companies, addressed key needs of Grupo Herogra such as advanced inventory management and tracking of manufacturing processes, detailed calculation of chemical formulas in compliance with Spanish and European regulations, automated generation of safety documentation, labels, and waybills, integration with logistics and manufacturing systems (MES/SCADA), and automation of truck scale readings.

This transformation enabled Grupo Herogra to operate with a modern and efficient ERP, tailored to the specific demands of its sector.

Ensure efficiency

The implementation of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations, together with Minsait’s specialized solution, has had a significant impact on Grupo Herogra.

By migrating to an Azure cloud environment, the group now enjoys real-time access from any location and device, eliminating manual maintenance and updates. The new “one version” ecosystem ensures automatic updates, always keeping the system on the latest version. Additionally, the solution has optimized chemical product management, improved transport tracking, expanded coverage of standard production processes, and enabled full traceability through warehouse labeling.

These improvements, combined with real-time updated information, have enhanced Grupo Herogra’s competitiveness and efficiency in a constantly evolving technological environment.
