The 12 Days of Christmas Day 11 – The Arribatec Workshop: smart tools for every season

Finn and his elves have been working hard all year, creating toys, making candy canes, wrapping presents, and generally keeping themselves busy. But they’ve not been the only team working away in a workshop to make everyone’s lives easier. Just as those at the North Pole have been squirreling away to keep Christmas running smoothly, the team of consultants and engineers at Arribatec have been working around the clock to create a workshop full of bespoke add-ons and smart tools to make your ERP system more efficient, easier to use, and more festive (well, it’s Christmas after all).  

Christmas is a time of joy, merriment, and for suddenly realising quite how inefficient your processes are, whether you’re cooking food for twelve people, making toys for two billion children, or trying to run end of month before five o’clock comes around and you can open the sherry. Luckily, Arribatec’s workshop of smart tool is here to help. Although maybe not with toys. Sorry.  

We love a good dashboard. Finn uses this PowerBI connector to turn raw data into real-time insights. From toy production stats to delivery timelines, Finn can spot trends and make quick decisions, keeping Christmas on schedule, and gets to enjoy some pretty graphs. What’s not to love?  

Managing payments at Christmas, whether to candy cane suppliers and toy part vendors, through to parts suppliers and temp agencies used to be a headache. With BankHub, Finn automates bank integrations, ensuring secure, fast transactions. No more late payments or financial frosty surprises. 

Even elves appreciate good design. Stylesheet lets Finn customize document layouts, making invoices and reports look as polished as Santa’s boots—perfect for maintaining the North Pole’s professional image. 

But what he loves more than good design is flexibility. The Arribatec Webscreen Configurator tool allows him to tailor Unit4 screens for different elf teams, ensuring everyone sees exactly what they need, whether it’s toy inventory or sleigh maintenance schedules. And as a Christmas treat, you can even get a free 3-month trial! 

With thousands of suppliers worldwide, Finn uses Company Validator to verify business details instantly. It’s like Santa’s Naughty-or-Nice list for vendors, keeping data clean and trustworthy. 

At Christmas, communication is key. Otherwise, the turkey gets burned and the games of charades last until boxing day. The ERP Apps portals give suppliers and partners self-service access to orders and invoices, reducing email back-and-forth and freeing Finn’s time for more festive tasks. 

With making tax digital gone are the days of manual invoice processing. This tool automates approvals and postings, cutting processing time dramatically—so Finn can focus on spreading joy, not chasing paperwork. 

Thanks to this cavalcade of dd-ons, Finn has turned Christmas chaos into streamlined success. Automated workflows, accurate data, and real-time insights mean fewer late nights and more time for hot cocoa. As Finn says, “Efficiency is the best gift of all!”
