Challenge and solution

Key Challenge
To manage the high complexity of its multiple sections (nuts, oil, supplies, credit union) with an obsolete AS/400 management system, fragmented into custom applications and with batch processes that prevented real-time visibility.
The Aritmos Solution
Implementation of a "verticalized" Sage X3 ERP, with custom developments by Aritmos specific to nut and oil production, unifying all areas of the cooperative into a single platform.
Implemented Functionalities
The solution covers the Purchasing, Sales, Stock, Production Management, Accounting, and Fixed Asset modules, including the integration of the member platform (Socicoop) and the Coselva mobile app.
About COSELVA
Founded in 1900, Coselva is a historic cooperative and a cornerstone of agriculture in Tarragona. With a strong focus on hazelnuts (DOP Avellana de Reus) and extra virgin olive oil (DOP Siurana), its business model integrates the reception of its members’ production, industrial processing, and export to five continents. Its commitment to innovation is reflected in projects like its new “Antara” oil mill, awarded for its technology, and its experimental farm for improving hazelnut cultivation.

Before Aritmos and Sage X3

Problem areas

AS/400 system with custom applications
obsolete and different for each section (nuts, supplies, credit), with no communication between them.
"Batch" management processes
which prevented having instantly updated data for decision-making.
Complex management of nut production
with multiple variables (moisture, size, yield) that the system could not exhaustively trace.

Impact on the business

Inefficiencies, duplication of work
and a high maintenance cost for a technologically outdated system.
Decisions based on the previous day's information
without the agility needed to react to market fluctuations.
Lack of fine control over production costs
and the real yield of raw materials, which is vital to be competitive.

Our solution

The strategy focused on a complete technological renewal, replacing the legacy system with a modern and unified platform, designed by and for the agri-food sector, through three pillars:
1

3
Pillar 1: Single and Centralized Platform with Sage X3
All information was migrated to a single ERP, eliminating isolated applications. This allowed for the unified management of all areas (supplies, agri-shop, nuts, oil mill) with the same look and feel and work logic.
Pillar 2: Specific Vertical for the Core Business
Aritmos developed custom modules within Sage X3 for nut and oil production. These tools allow for exhaustive control of traceability and costs, considering all the complex variables of the product (sizes, yields, moisture, etc.).
Pillar 3: Digitalization of the Member Relationship
The new platform was integrated with modern tools like the member platform (Socicoop) and the Coselva mobile app, improving communication and facilitating access to information for both the cooperative and its members.
Pillar 1: Single and Centralized Platform with Sage X3
All information was migrated to a single ERP, eliminating isolated applications. This allowed for the unified management of all areas (supplies, agri-shop, nuts, oil mill) with the same look and feel and work logic.

The transformation: before and after

Before (with the previous system)

Batch Processes
Data was updated overnight, always working with the previous day's information.
Fragmented Management by Sections
Different solutions for each business area, without a unified vision.
Limited Traceability
Difficulty in tracking the complete trail of raw materials and calculating exact production costs.

After (with Sage X3 and Aritmos)

Real-Time Data
Access to any updated document or data instantly from any point in the system.
360º View of the Cooperative
All business information unified, from the entry of raw materials to the sale of the final product.
Total Traceability and Cost Control
Exhaustive control of all management, from the farm to the customer, allowing for the defense of a better price for members.

The voice of the protagonist

Pere Ferré

Manager of Coselva
“To be competitive and successfully defend the highest price for our members, exhaustive control of all management is essential, and that is where the importance of the IT system lies.”
