Flooring and wall-protection products distributed across 120 countries
Gerflor Polska is the Polish subsidiary of a global flooring manufacturer with 5,000+ employees and presence in 120 countries. The tech stack centers on SAP, Dynamics 365, and Power BI — classic mid-market ERP + BI infrastructure — while active projects reveal a company mid-transition: ERP deployment to Business Central, manufacturing execution system (MES) implementation, and data automation workflows. Pain points (reducing accidents, optimizing production, managing IT backlogs) and hiring across support, engineering, and manufacturing suggest operational scaling constraints common to distribution-heavy businesses moving toward automation.
Gerflor manufactures and distributes elastic flooring, wall protection, and finishing elements under brands including Taraflex, Mipolam, DLW Linoleum, and Connor Sports. The group, founded in 1937, now operates 20 factories and 5 R&D centers globally, serving healthcare, residential, education, sports, hospitality, retail, industrial, and office segments. The Polish entity maintains 11–50 staff and manages regional distribution and technical support. Product development is grounded in lifecycle assessment analysis and sustainability principles.
Gerflor uses SAP as its primary ERP platform, with an active migration underway to Dynamics 365 Business Central, supported by Power BI for reporting and Power Automate for workflow automation.
Current initiatives include ERP Business Central deployment, manufacturing execution system (MES) implementation, data management and process automation, budget reporting dashboards, ISO 45001 safety certification, and internal communication platform rollout.
