In their words...
Iñaki Amigot Iñaki Amigot, General Manager for Huesker (Spain)

"Every year Huesker works with roughly 500 construction projects throughout Spain.  Obviously, we have a great deal of activity when it comes to generating sales and dealing with potential clients.  With so much activity, sales management is very important to us and we do our best to make ourselves as agile as possible.

“Each project is unique.  Each has time-sensitive quotes, numerous invoices, product details – purchases, sales, customization, and testing.  It's very difficult to keep everything under control and it's tricky to monitor the status of each project.
  
“When we decided to use Openbravo, our initial intention was to reduce errors and to quicken the sales process.  Without a doubt we have seen measured improvements.  One benefit we never anticipated was the incredible increase in employee motivation – our employees were ecstatic when they saw their jobs become easier to carry-out.  They worked harder and more efficiently!

"Looking to the future, knowing that the software is open source – that it is “ours” – gives us a sense of calm because we know that we are free to customize it as we like without the burden of contacting a big software company.”
