Since 2010, Aubren has led the design and manufacturing of advanced air handling products for modular data centers and medical settings, including operating theatres and isolation rooms. To support their expansion and ensure sustainable growth, Aubren selected SAP as their ERP system and partnered with a local SAP expert TRC Solutions to tailor the software to their needs as a manufacturer. 

We wanted to streamline and improve our business along with our ISO 9001 certification and get one application that could cover all areas from finance, design, purchasing, supplier control, customer service, and logistics.  Thais was a key strategic decision to move towards developing our own product range under Akrivis.” — Steven Delahunty, Quality Manager at Aubren 

Driving Sustainable Growth Through ERP 

The collaboration with TRC Solutions began with SAP’s “activate” methodology, starting with the “Discovery” phase. TRC worked closely with Aubren’s stakeholders to understand the key business drivers: the need for streamlined operations, improved control across finance, procurement, and logistics, and supporting the global expansion of their Akrivis product line. Using these insights, TRC helped Aubren implement SAP ERP, delivering a tailored solution that met Aubren’s goals while ensuring compliance with ISO 9001 and supporting sustainable growth. 

Aubren is now in the “Run” phase of their SAP project, where ongoing collaboration with TRC is driving further improvements.  AI innovations have been introduced to optimize procurement, manage production, and automate laborious tasks. This has resulted in significant improvements in cost control, materials handling, logistics, and performance visibility. 

“Aubren has innovative ideas with fantastic technologies developed in-house. Our task is to help Aubren manage their business growth in a sustainable and controlled way.” — Steven Maguire, Chief Advisory Officer, TRC Solutions  

With SAP, Aubren has achieved operational visibility, enabling real-time monitoring of costs, logistics, and KPIs. These efficiencies are passed on to clients through faster turnaround times, cost savings, and improved product quality. The ongoing partnership with TRC ensures Aubren stays at the forefront of innovation, fostering sustainable growth.

Aubren have added Creo Flow Analysis CFD to our design capabilities. Computational fluid dynamics allows us to simulate turbulent fluid dynamics, solid interactions and heat transfer. Simulation of fluid flow allows Aubren make informed geometry decisions early in the design process reducing the need for additional prototypes. This means that prototypes tested in our fan performance wind tunnel have already been optimised for air flow and will achieve the expected results.
