About this project
Brosses Lacasse: A crucial need to digitize and automate internal operations management
Brosses Lacasse designs and manufactures custom industrial brushes.
Their expertise is built on decades of experience creating solutions perfectly tailored to each client’s specific needs — delivering high-performance, efficient products.
With the goal of modernizing its operations, automating processes, and leveraging accessible digital tools, Brosses Lacasse partnered with Agilean, a digital transformation expert for manufacturing SMEs.
Together, they deployed ALIX – Agilean’s intelligent assistant, along with several Zoho One applications, including Zoho Books, Zoho CRM, and Zoho Analytics.
Thanks to this initiative, Brosses Lacasse now benefits from centralized management, real-time data access, and better decision-making — all serving to enhance operational efficiency and sustainable growth.

Integrated manufacturing operations…
Increased visibility into manufacturing operations has significantly reduced paper use on the shop floor and eliminated the need for numerous Excel files for tracking and quotations.
Complete traceability!
From receiving to shipping
The entire cycle from purchasing to delivery has been centralized within ALIX, providing easy access to all data and ensuring end-to-end traceability.
For clients who send in their brushes for refurbishment, this traceability and historical tracking become especially important.
Integrated work instructions and quality management
The integration of work instructions and quality controls strengthens the consistency and reliability of operations.
Employees have access to the right procedures at the right time, reducing errors and ensuring complete traceability.
This approach promotes consistent quality and greater efficiency at every stage of production.
Real-time data
Faster informed decisions thanks to real-time accessible data. Dynamic dashboards provide a centralized and up-to-date view of key performance indicators (KPIs). This instant visibility enables identifying gaps, correcting operational deviations, and improving responsiveness at all levels of the company.
A simplified and faster quotation process
By moving from Excel spreadsheets to an integrated quotation process within the ERP, the company has significantly simplified and accelerated its operations.
Product information, costs, and margins are now centralized in a single platform, eliminating duplicates and data entry errors.
Quotes can now be generated in just a few clicks using up-to-date data, then automatically converted into orders or invoices.
This automation improves accuracy, speed, and traceability, while delivering a more professional and consistent customer experience.
Results achieved
40% time savings on the preparation of monthly financial reports.
Significant reduction in data entry errors thanks to the automatic synchronization of information between Zoho Books and other systems.
Increased visibility into profitability through integrated dashboards and real-time reporting.
Improved collaboration between accounting and operations teams through a single, unified platform accessible from anywhere.
Successful migration from Avantage to Zoho Books: unified and more efficient accounting
The company recently migrated from its Avantage accounting solution to Zoho Books to unify financial processes and simplify daily management.
Thanks to careful planning and seamless integration with other applications in the Zoho ecosystem, the transition was completed without any disruption to operations.
A solid foundation for growth
This migration to Zoho Books now provides the company with a modern, agile, and scalable accounting infrastructure, ready to support its growth and adapt to future needs.
Real-time business intelligence…
The Brosses Lacasse team is improving its decision-making with dynamic, real-time dashboards.
By centralizing data from sales, production, and finance, the company now benefits from a comprehensive and interactive view of all its operations.
This instant visibility enables the company to quickly detect variances, anticipate challenges, and continuously optimize performance.
It’s an essential approach for manufacturing businesses that aim to remain agile, proactive, and data-driven.

Steve Bernier
CEO
“When a small business decides to deploy an ERP, it’s essential to work with specialized integrators to be properly guided.
Implementing such a system requires technical expertise and a deep understanding of business processes that most small organizations don’t have in-house.
The Agilean team brings not only their technical know-how but also hands-on support throughout the entire project — from needs analysis and configuration to data migration and user training.This continuous guidance helps avoid costly mistakes, reduce implementation time, and ensure smooth, long-term adoption of the new system.
Without such support, the project risks becoming complex, time-consuming, and less effective.”
