Six know-how domains
Each of ERIKS nv’s activities is subdivided into six know-how domains:
We have in-depth knowledge of the demand side (customers) and the supply side (sourcing) of the market. This enables ERIKS to develop new products and services and enter new markets proactively and promptly.
We have an in-depth knowledge of our products and their properties.
We share this knowledge with our customers through technical documentation, electronic media and personal contact.
We can
- understand present applications and requirements for our customers’ developing concepts and translate them into practical product choices;
- translate customers’ reliability and cost issues into adapted designs and alternative product choices (product development);
- brainstorm with customers about the design and maintenance of new products and systems (research and development).
We are able to translate the customer’s ideas into new product specifications, and where necessary we have the facilities (either in-house or through third parties) to adapt existing products to the customer’s specifications. We also offer maintenance facilities and services for components and systems supplied by us or by third parties.
We are able to analyse and streamline logistics processes so that they meet our customers’ expectations. Our logistics concepts can be adapted quickly and easily for integration with those of our customers – from identifying customers’ needs through to payment – both for the administrative side and the physical side of the process. With solutions ranging from the simple supply of components to offering complete integrated systems on site, we can optimise our customers’ purchasing (transaction costs) and working capital.
We have efficiently-structured, state-of-the art production facilities, an optimised logistics infrastructure and efficient and controllable ICT systems.
