From processing to production: processes are perfected
In order to meet the more stringent requirements of customers and to cope with increasing competition, both window manufacturers and retailers must invest in the automation and digitalization of their processes. For this, they can rely on 3E Datentechnik GmbH. After all, the South German IT company has specialized for more than three decades in the development and implementation of intelligent, user-friendly ERP solutions for window and door manufacturers as well as retailers. At Polyclose, the software house presented the latest version of their well-known 3E-LOOK.
ERP software packages, such as 3E-LOOK, play an important role in the digitization of business processes. The software house therefore pays very close attention to the further optimization and expansion of its solutions. Thus, 3E Datentechnik GmbH introduced the latest version of this software solution in Ghent. After three days of continuous contacts and conversations in Flanders Expo, the balance was already positive.
"Polyclose is a very important fair for us, especially because of its international character. We were able to make many contacts. Among manufacturing companies, the interest in automated and paperless (digital) business processes at all levels and the will to invest in digitalization has only increased. WEBSales, the online software that constantly communicates with 3E-LOOK and ensures that all processes between manufacturer and trade can run paperless and more efficiently, was particularly popular," says a satisfied Anthony Bonnard, commercial director for 3E in France.The software house from the south of Germany with subsidiaries in France, Switzerland and the Baltic States showed practical examples, how digitization can be realized both at the manufacturer and in trade.
With 3E-LOOK, the IT specialist ensures perfect processes in order processing, planning, staffing on the shop floor, as well as in production, sales, shipping and trading. All steps that take place outdoors on the construction site or at customers' premises are also integrated into the software package with the help of mobile solutions via the App, including measurement, maintenance, assembly, service appointments and after-sales. For trade, 3E offers a specific program as well as Cloud and Internet solutions.
The new version of the 3E-LOOK software clearly offers improved performance, individualization and user-friendliness. The capacity planning was completely reprogrammed and offers user-friendly graphical dashboards. An Android-based solution completes the possibilities for mobile data collection. In applications, where scanners are used, for example in logistics and materials management, scanners with app operation via a mobile device can now also be used.
A major strength of this software is the ability to tailor it completely to the needs of companies and users. With this new version, even screens can be set up specifically for a particular application, and the many marking options ensure, that the wide range of information in LOOK can be used even better. "It is not always only the biggest developments that make users' lives easier," concludes Frans Visscher, international consultant for the Netherlands at 3E. "We strive to make everyday tasks far more automated and paperless."
