Wanted
one integrated platform for Dealers and Manufacturing
worldwide. Also wanted to consolidate 6 functionally
specific internal manufacturing configurators
(Curtainwall, Storefront, Take off, Windows,
Doors etc) and replace with one configurator. |
| SoftTech's
solution: |
V6
Manufacturer was enhanced to provide all the
functionality in ABP’s internal solutions.
V6 dealer was deployed to integrate APB’s
Dealers with APBs Manufacturing resulting in
significant savings : |
| Result
and benefits to the client: |
Since
1997, Soft Tech V6 has been helping Kawneer
produce fast and accurate engineered bills
of material and the fabrication reports required
for manufacturing of the finished product.
With the recent conversion of our Estimating
process to V6, we have made significant reductions
in queue times by empowering one person with
one tool to take a project from inception to
manufacturing. We can also build the takeoff
from the original estimate, saving the time
of starting from scratch. This has allowed
us to do more work with the same resources,
whilst reducing estimating and manufacturing
lead times.

deployed it to our Dealers and they too are
very happy with it. Soft Tech have been good

Technal
had developed their own configurator for internal
use and their Dealers. It was DOS based and
at the end of its technology cycle. They wanted
to replace it and went through an intensive
world wide evaluation process to determine
if they should build or buy. |
| SoftTech's
solution: |
Soft
Tech proved to Technal that its 3D configuration
technology was superior to anything else in
the market and so Soft Tech and Technal formed
a partnership to develop a version of V6 with
specific French functionality. It is now deployed
to over 1,800 internal and external Technal
users in France. |

| Project

Schuco
France had an internal software package that
they deployed to their Dealers that was proving
difficult to modify and customize to meet the
markets needs. They also wanted it to be able
to talk to their new SAP ERP solution. |
| SoftTech's
solution: |
Soft
Tech’s V6 3 D configurator had the customizable
flexibility Schuco wanted and the breadth of
functionality Schuco’s Dealers needed.
Schuco were able to modify V6 so that it was
a Schuco branded product and enhance the User
Interface to include modules for Solar Panels,
Railings and Conservatories. |
| Result
and benefits to the client: |
They
have successfully deployed the software to
over 800 Dealers in France and connected V6
to their SAP ERP application. |
