In this 2025‑09‑14 YouTube podcast, host Oskar Lipiński interviews Piotr Kuszewski, co‑owner of the family‑run building‑materials distributor HAP Armatura. The conversation moves from the difficulty of long‑term strategic planning in a volatile macro environment (COVID‑19, the war in Ukraine, the termination of the Polish "Czyste Powietrze" program, high interest rates) to a detailed recount of the company’s digital transformation: migration from a single‑ERP information source to a fully integrated stack that includes WMS, PIM (Cora), e‑commerce platforms, a Power BI‑based analytics hub, and automated data pipelines linking Google Analytics, SAP and other systems. Piotr explains the concept of “smart scaling” – growing sales only as fast as logistics, cash‑flow and technology capacity allow – and illustrates it with concrete numbers (investment in a 3 000 m² automated DC, 10‑15 M PLN cash needed for a 30 % sales lift, e‑commerce now 22‑30 % of turnover). He discusses market pressures such as price volatility, rising labour and energy costs, and the perceived cost of advertising on platforms like Allegro versus Google. The interview also touches on cultural change toward data‑driven decision‑making, the importance of continuous growth versus complacency, and personal motivation derived from automating processes and seeing the business become a regional leader. Finally, Piotr offers advice to young entrepreneurs: avoid social‑media hype, be patient, gain experience in a relevant environment, and focus on realistic financial goals. The episode ends with reflections on succession, competition with large foreign players, and the desire to keep HAP Armatura a dynamic, technology‑enabled company.
