My Challenges
When it comes to the flow of information, many companies still have difficulties. As a result, important information is lost and with it potential sales opportunities. In discrete manufacturing in the sales phase, close coordination between sales and design is particularly important. Ideally, all customer information should be stored and updated centrally so that all employees can access it at any time.
But what company does everything right? Teams often don't work together in a centralized workspace, resulting in duplication of effort and coordination. If the sales department is also using Excel spreadsheets and manually entering data into the CRM system, even more time is wasted. Not to mention the potential for errors. Changes are difficult to track, and managing budgets and add-ons is extremely time-consuming.
It often happens that employees in production are also deployed in service or on site – reliable capacity planning is important here, both for production and service.
We have a plan for that.
