Manufacturing Automation for Building Supplies

You want to streamline and connect your customers, sales, and engineering teams to the manufacturing side of the business in an automated end-to-end process that begins with the customer at the point of purchase, and ends with the right building materials being delivered.

But most supply companies’ sales processes are not driving manufacturing directly. Instead they require hand-offs, translation, and interpretation by the shop floor. Production teams are expected to pick up the slack by fixing configuration errors and working faster to keep customers happy. Nobody wins.

Once a configuration has been finalized, sales reps can automatically generate all the documents required to initiate production. Your teams in charge of assembling the orders get totally reliable information. Accurate technical drawings, CAD files, CNC cut sheets, bill of materials, assembly instructions, and product renderings are all created without any input from engineering.

Complex product rules ensure only valid configurations make their way through sales and engineering to the shop floor, eliminating the time-wasting back-and-forth that causes deal-threatening delays. Sales feels confident that products will be built to customers’ precise specifications, manufacturing can actually achieve the build, and customers always get exactly what they want, on time.
