Confronted with the high development rate of its activities, the prestigious Swiss watchmaking firm, Bedat & CO, became the first customer to opt for Solva-Rent, the ProConcept ERP rental solution. This decision allowed the Geneva based manufacturer to take advantage of a high performance management solution, all while maintaining its investment capacity.
 
In February 2009, Bedat & CO announced its affiliation with a Malaysian based brand management company, Luxury Concepts Watches Jewellery Sdn Bhd. This alliance allowed the Geneva company to successfully target many fine watchmaking aficionados.

A few months later the Geneva based manufacturer reached their objectives; its dynamism and prosperous business climate were such that it need a management tool suited to high growth rates and its activities. Several weeks after the launch of Solva-Rent, Bedat & CO opted to go for the rental concept thought up by SolvAxis, as Frank Low, CEO of Luxury Concepts confirmed: "the Solva-Rent offer was a natural choice for us. It let us acquire an all inclusive IT service, including software, service provision fo the implementation, as well as the costs linked to its scalability. Our group has often used this sort of solutions, which is very widespread in Asia. They allow us to keep our investment capacity for the development of our activities."

Bedat & Co links its rapidly growing activities to a tool that is a perfect match to its needs, guaranteeing the simplified management, flexibility and scalability of its ERP. On one side the payment of a fixed monthly amount per user ensures the mastery of costs for all its activities. And on the other, a package that also includes the updates required to keep applications at the cutting edge of technology and in step with legal requirements.

Pierre-Alain Schnegg, CEO of SolvAxis concludes that "Even though this type of business model is not yet widespread in Switzerland, it represents an interesting alternative for companies that wish to spread out the cost of purchasing an ERP. With Solva-Rent, we have a complete management solution that adapts perfectly to the financial constraints of Swiss midmarket companies".
