Cadran celebrates 25 years of collaboration and innovation


This year marks Cadran’s 25th anniversary! What began in 1998 with six passionate consultants and one clear vision—supporting clients in implementing and managing their ERP software—has grown into a versatile and experienced team serving over 100 clients each year. We are also proud to have welcomed Bart Dix as a shareholder last year. While our founders, Jan Wester and Henny Berends, have stepped back as shareholders, they remain actively engaged at Cadran with the same enthusiasm.
Cadran’s success is built on four core pillars:

The Future of Cadran
In the coming years, businesses will face challenges like inflation, supply chain disruptions, and the impact of climate change. Now, more than ever, improving business processes, finding innovative solutions, and implementing changes are essential.
Our team is ready to collaborate with you on strategic initiatives and help you achieve them through the power of ERP. We discuss your goals and develop solutions that seamlessly align with your business strategy. For Our Oracle JD Edwards, Oracle NetSuite, and Tableau Clients, a Range of Possibilities:
Oracle JD Edwards: Automate, Optimize, and Transform
Oracle JD Edwards provides versatile options for automation, optimization, and transformation, enabling your business to operate more efficiently and enhance user experience.
- Automate repetitive processes: Implement JD Edwards Orchestrator, Workflow Studio, or IoT integration for smarter process design.
- Enhance user experience: Use E1 Pages, Composite Pages, CaféOne, or watchlists to create a more organized, intuitive user environment.
- Simplify complex screens: Replace them with ‘Simplified Views’ designed by our Cadran UX Design team.
- Optimize JD Edwards with Oracle Fusion SaaS applications: Integrate Supply Chain Planning, Demand Management, or Planning & Budgeting for greater insight and control.
- Migrate to a modern Oracle IaaS environment with our Cloud9 solution: Experience the benefits of cloud computing with a future-proof infrastructure.
Beyond these functional capabilities, we also offer Managed Services & Support for our JD Edwards clients. Our support team is available 24/7 to assist with questions or urgent issues. For clients without an in-house IT department, we provide full support for managing the JD Edwards infrastructure so you can focus on your core business.
Oracle NetSuite: Grow, Expand, and Support
NetSuite is the ideal platform for companies seeking growth and expansion. With two releases per year, NetSuite continually introduces improvements and new features. Our consultants stay up-to-date with these developments to provide informed advice to our clients. NetSuite offers numerous opportunities to maximize your investment:
- Leverage additional modules for customer management, HR, or SuiteCommerce features to strengthen your business processes.
- Integrate systems and equipment: Seamlessly connect other software, such as scheduling programs or machinery, with your NetSuite environment for smoother collaboration.
- Enhance your service department: With NextService (of which Cadran has been a distributor since 2022), integrate your internal and field services for improved coordination.
- Streamline logistics: We’ve integrated NetSuite with the Transsmart platform (nShift), allowing you to easily link shipments to the appropriate carrier.
In addition to functional enhancements, we also established a dedicated NetSuite support team in 2022. Now, clients can rely on expert assistance for daily NetSuite usage, freeing them to focus on their core operations.
Tableau Analytics: Data-Driven Organizations
Since its establishment in 2018, our Analytics team has seen substantial growth. More and more clients recognize the value of data-driven decision-making. Our user-friendly dashboards provide quick insights, enabling better choices. Using techniques like analysis and predictive modeling, we extract valuable insights from data stored in JD Edwards, NetSuite, and other systems. This allows you to conduct “What-If” analyses, explore future scenarios, and optimize your operations, giving you a competitive edge.
2023 and Beyond: Moving Forward with Confidence
We started the year with energy, successfully launching several projects in January. Every day, we bring our mission—”We build solid ERP & Analytics solutions that drive your digital future”—to life. Driven by our core value of Progress, we continuously enhance our services. This year, our team has planned dozens of knowledge sessions to keep delivering innovative solutions, expert advice, and reliable support.
Our journey has been incredible: 25 years of partnership with our clients and partners, with the same passion as day one. We’re grateful for our clients’ trust and proud of our employees, who play a vital role in our success. Together, we look forward to the next 25 years!
With warm regards,
Ed Pieters and Bart Dix
