Original Software is pleased to announce that Combilift, a global leader in the design and manufacture of multi-directional forklifts and innovative material-handling solutions, has chosen our platform to strengthen its ERP validation after every change.

Seeking to move away from a reactive, manual validation, Combilift needed a more consistent and error proof approach to validating its frequent Infor environment updates.

Building a smarter approach to testing

Combilift identified several opportunities to improve how it manages system updates, including:

• Reducing the manual effort involved in regression testing
• Increasing confidence in regular ERP updates
• Automating critical business processes
• Capturing important process knowledge
• Using testing assets to support documentation and employee training

The team chose Original Software because its code-free platform allows business users to capture processes they already understand and turn them into reusable assets for manual testing, automation, documentation and training.

The initial implementation will give Combilift the capability it needs today while providing a foundation to expand its testing and automation as adoption grows.

“What impressed us about Original Software was that the conversation was never just about selling us a testing tool. Michael took the time to understand how we actually work, what we were trying to achieve and what we realistically needed to get started. The platform gives us the opportunity to bring testing, automation, process documentation and training together. As we continue to manage regular system changes, that gives us a foundation to automate more of our testing and have greater confidence in what we’re releasing into the business.”

A foundation for continuous improvement

For Combilift, the opportunity extends beyond test automation. By capturing business processes once, the same assets can be reused across testing, documentation and training—helping retain organisational knowledge while reducing the effort required to validate future changes.

“From my first conversations with Fearghal and the Combilift team, it was clear that this wasn’t simply an automation project. They were thinking about the bigger picture: how do we test change more effectively, capture the knowledge that exists within the business and ultimately make that knowledge reusable?”

“That’s exactly where we believe testing should be heading. I’m incredibly excited to welcome Combilift to Original Software and to work alongside the team as they build that capability.”

Combilift can now begin building a more automated, repeatable testing capability—helping the business manage regular ERP change with greater confidence and less risk.
