About Wästberg
The Swedish company Wästberg produces high-quality lighting solutions and is known for its minimalist design and sustainable products.
In 2021, the company decided to partner with the XAL Group to achieve sustainable success together by sharing and pooling resources in research, production and sales.
The challenge
Our goal was to seamlessly integrate Wästberg's processes into the XAL Group's operations without losing Wästberg's unique strengths. To achieve this, we introduced Microsoft Dynamics 365 and developed an interface that connects the existing ERP system with that of the Group.

The project goal
We endeavoured to integrate Wästberg's existing processes harmoniously into the wider operations of the XAL Group. It was particularly important to us that Wästberg retained its flexibility and innovative strength, while at the same time utilising the Group's extensive resources and logistics to create synergies and achieve joint success.
The solution
We used the logistics centre of Wever & Ducré in Belgium, also part of the XAL Group, as a central hub for Wästberg. This ensured the efficient distribution and coordination of the flow of goods. All processes were customised, from order entry to delivery, supported by a seamless integration of the ERP systems. These adjustments allowed Wästberg to concentrate on its core competences in the development of high-quality lighting solutions, while XAL took over the production and logistics processes.
The result
Thanks to the successful integration of Wästberg into the XAL Group, we were able to optimise processes and increase productivity.
Success stories

The seamless connection of the Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 system with the Wever & Ducré webshop was able to provide customers with real-time insight into stock levels and delivery forecasts.
From analog to digital
XAL's digital incoming invoice processing led to significant time savings - a considerable saving of hours per invoice.
