Affligem Brewery

Affligem Brewery and NORRIQ toast on the successful implementation of Drink-IT®

Affligem Brewery BDS NV in Opwijk is the producer of the abbey beer with the same name that can be found in shops as ‘Blond’, ‘Dubbel’ and ‘Tripel’ beer. In addition, they also brew the ‘Op-Ale’ and the ‘Postel’ abbey beers. Since the acquisition by Heineken in 2000, Affligem Brewery has experiences strong growth, mainly thanks to the increase in export activities. Partly thanks to this expansion, Affligem Brewery felt the need to modernise its IT system and to opt for an integrated package with extensive reporting possibilities for the new management. NORRIQ Belgium installed Drink-IT®, a self-developed solution built on Microsoft Dynamics NAV, which had already more than proven its worth in the brewery and drinks industry.

“We now have an integrated system, so we only have to enter the data once, and we can have up-to-date data immediately. The reporting is also done from the system, via an export to Excel with JetReports. Now, we can quite quickly generate volume reports per client, per type of beer, per year and per week. With the financial reporting tool of Microsoft Dynamics NAV, it takes just one push of a button to get the required data for Heineken, and they are fully up-to-date with everything that is happening in our brewery.”
