Customer inquiries are often non-binding. The salesperson must first check the price at which a particular product can be delivered, followed by a quote and order. The underlying process can be very complex, which is why product configuration dialogs, from stock inquiries to production requests, must be mastered. IT-supported processes ensure fast, reliable, and centralized processing.

Our solutions: We implement customized Configure-Price-Quote (CPQ) processes. With attractive, modern user interfaces, the salesperson or even the buyer can check inquiries for feasibility, price, and availability. In the background, we use variant configuration supplemented by BRF+ using our add-on conFIGURE.

➡ Greater transparency, faster quotation and order creation, error-free configurations.

Using modern mock-up creation tools, we can very quickly create prototypes for UI5 BDE applications. These are developed directly with the end users. We then implement these mock-ups in short sprints and can achieve very short turnaround times. Our project experience extends beyond materials management, production, and maintenance processes. In the backend, we consistently rely on standard SAP processes. When it comes to workplace design, we advise on the correct use of mobile or stationary hardware and the moderate use of paper or other means of identification.

Our solution: With conOE, you can optimize production feedback directly in SAP S/4HANA – intuitively, efficiently, and in real time on the shop floor.
➡ Maximum transparency, fewer manual errors, faster feedback data flow.

The timely provision of products to meet customer demand is a multi-stage process; the level of stocking is crucial here. Sales planning serves to stock products or materials in the right quantities in order to keep delivery times short. Make-or-buy decisions are made and capacity bottlenecks and setup optimization problems are solved. Production planning is broken down into different horizons, distinguishing between long-term capacity planning and shift-based detailed planning.
Our solutions:

• conOperationScheduling & conOperationScheduling.CLOUD – for efficient planning and control of production processes
• conPEP – the add-on for personnel resource planning

➡ Better planning, optimized resource utilization, greater adherence to deadlines.

Efficient variant configuration for highly variable products. We support you in setting up powerful SAP variant configuration models that can be used to map even highly complex product structures precisely and in a maintenance-friendly manner. Our experts develop sophisticated classification systems, dependencies, object relationships, and knowledge bases that enable rule-based configuration in sales, production, and engineering. Whether with LO-VC or AVC, we ensure optimal maintainability, high performance, and complete ERP integration of your configuration processes.

Our solutions: In addition to our conFIGURE solution, we offer QPPD, an industry-specific solution for the efficient management of variable products.

➡ Complex product structures become manageable, faster time to market, fewer errors.

We approach warehouse logistics from a digitalization perspective. Instead of outdated warehouse solutions, we consistently rely on integrated warehouse processes and state-of-the-art logistics apps. Together with hardware from our partner ZEBRA, we have already implemented numerous warehouse applications, from classic barcodes and 2D barcodes to RFID solutions.

Our solutions: With conTASK and Stockroom Management / EWM, we completely digitize your warehouse and material flows.

➡ More efficient warehouse processes, faster throughput times, fewer errors.

Intralogistics refers to the logistical flow of materials and goods within a company’s premises – as opposed to the transport of goods outside a factory. Thanks to improved handheld devices and extensive network coverage, logistics functions such as reading RFID and NFC chips, staff sign-ins, time account reviews, and quality checks are increasingly being carried out on the move.

Our solution: Here, too, conTASK is used – for the mobile control of intralogistics processes.

➡ Optimized material flows in the factory, better visibility, less downtime.

The active management of internal maintenance tasks is becoming increasingly important. Measures such as inspection, maintenance, and repair are used to assess the current status and to maintain and restore the target status. Processes such as these are increasingly being handled on the go. Our solutions range from order entry to the execution of maintenance tasks to feedback on results—simple and user-friendly.

➡ Fewer unplanned downtimes, higher plant availability, better maintenance processes.

Quality describes the extent to which a product meets predefined criteria. Quality management therefore encompasses all measures taken to improve the quality of a company’s products and services. This begins with incoming goods inspection, continues with quality-specific process data collection, and ends with customer-specific test reports. Integrated solutions often require mastery of complex system landscapes such as ERP, MES, LIMS, or plant control systems.

➡ Higher product and service quality, faster testing and feedback processes, reduced costs due to errors.

If a product does not meet customer expectations, a complaint is filed. Complaint management therefore serves to handle complaints in a structured manner. The aim is to identify problems and implement process improvements. To this end, we offer SAP ERP-based processes with modern, web-based SAP UI5 front ends. This ensures that complaints can be filed quickly and conveniently, even in the field.

Our solution: With conFLOW, we build workflows that digitize complaint and approval processes.

➡ Shorter processing times, clear workflows, higher customer satisfaction.

Increasing process complexity and growing data volumes require systematic management of master data. Master data management describes the strategic administration of a company’s basic data.

Our solutions: With QPPD, variant configuration, and conFIGURE, we ensure centralized data sovereignty and consistent data processes.

➡ Fewer data inconsistencies, better process quality, greater efficiency.

Kaizen, also known as CIP (continuous improvement process), is used with the aim of continuous process optimization—there is great potential here. Modern IT tools enable mobile data collection and increase the transparency of the processes carried out. Thanks to access to existing data, information can be retrieved and evaluated at a later date. Continuous innovation management allows novel ideas to be implemented.

➡ Sustainable culture of improvement, rapid implementation of ideas, increased innovative strength.
