ICON, METALL GIRONA and Cegid bring together companies from the sector to address the main challenges of digital transformation

On 26 May, at Sistemes Informàtics ICON, S.L., we organised a business breakfast together with METALL GIRONA and with the support of Cegid for companies in the metalworking sector.

The aim of the event was to share a practical perspective on some of the technological and regulatory changes already transforming the management of industrial companies and which will be crucial to maintaining their competitiveness in the coming years.

During the session, we examined how digitalisation, artificial intelligence and adaptation to the new invoicing regulations are changing the way production, processes and decision-making are managed.

Artificial Intelligence: a tool for improving productivity

Artificial Intelligence is no longer a technology of the future; it has become a tool with real applications within businesses.

During the event, we showed how AI can help organisations to:

  • Automate repetitive and administrative tasks.
  • Improve decision-making through data analysis.
  • Increase team productivity.
  • Optimise internal processes.
  • Reduce operating time and costs.

More and more industrial companies are adopting AI-based solutions to improve efficiency and gain a competitive advantage.

The importance of advanced manufacturing management

Another key topic of the session was production management using ERP solutions designed specifically for industrial environments.

Having real-time production information makes it possible to control costs more effectively, plan resources, ensure traceability and optimise the profitability of each project.

During the breakfast, we showed how Cegid solutions implemented by ICON can integrate every area of a company into a single platform, enabling more efficient management and a comprehensive view of the business.

VeriFactu and electronic invoicing: a change businesses need to prepare for

The event also provided an opportunity to examine the impact of implementing VeriFactu and mandatory electronic invoicing.

Although many companies have already begun adapting, there are still questions about the technical requirements, deadlines and implications these regulations will have for administrative processes.

Proper planning and tools designed to comply with the legislation will make it possible to manage this transition safely and avoid issues once the regulations are fully in force.

Sharing knowledge with the industrial sector

In addition to the presentations, the breakfast included a networking session where attendees could share experiences, resolve questions and discuss the digitalisation challenges facing industrial companies.

These events create an environment for collaboration between companies and bring technology solutions closer to the sector’s real needs.

Thank you for making it possible

At ICON, we would like to thank METALL GIRONA, Cegid and all the companies that attended for their participation and trust.

We will continue organising initiatives that help companies understand technological and regulatory changes, support their digital transformation and improve their competitiveness.

If your company is considering how to implement Artificial Intelligence solutions, optimise manufacturing management, adapt its ERP or prepare for VeriFactu and electronic invoicing, our team will be happy to help you find the solution that best fits your needs.
