Axirum in Groupe SEB

Groupe SEB is a large French consortium that produces small appliances, and it's the world's largest manufacturer of cookware. Notable brand names associated with Groupe SEB include All-Clad, IMUSA, Krups, Moulinex, Rowenta, Tefal and WMF Group.

In 2016, Groupe SEB decided to replace the old document management system: it’s functionality was limited, it did not develop within the company, and the cost of updating was equal to the cost of implementation of a new system.

The main criteria for a new EDMS were:

• opportunity to implement the system in a short time;
• comprehensive basic features;
• friendly UI, both for users and administrators;
• opportunity for further development and adaptation of the system.

Group SEB chose Axirum system as it matched criteria: wide functionality “out of the box”, an intuitive user interface, and support of English interface.

Implementation

Groupe SEB specialists took over the main work on the project. The implementation was carried out according to a shortened variant, and included two stages:

• Research and GAP analysis.
• Modifications, setting up consultations, and test operation support.

The system was set up with the help of Axirum specialists: an online chat of the Axirum project team and  the SEB project group was organized This helped to control the system setup and quickly respond to questions. Trial operation was without the participation of Axirum specialists.

In total, the project took 2 months and had a success due to:

• active involvement of customer employees;
• readyness to change existing business processes;
• maximum use of basic functionality;
• discussion of labor costs separately for each type of work.
