Dreams come true thanks to a well-functioning planning software

Permanent control of inventory, capacity and planning ... that's what every company dreams of. Techwin, specializing in software for joiners, proves with JoRPA, that dreams can come true. This planning package has unique capabilities and ensures that users have a clear understanding of their planning, inventory and capacity.

Everyone knows it: a folder per customer containing the order, the order forms of the materials, Excel sheets with the overview of the orders and the orders per supplier. In addition, another large board against the wall, the personnel to be deployed and the works in progress. Everyone is at work and everything is always resolved. "It does take a lot of time to register every change and assess its impact. If you don't do it right, you get backorders, rush jobs, outstanding invoices, ... and that costs money," says André De Weerdt, manager of Techwin.

"This planning package has unique capabilities and provides clear insight into planning, inventory and capacity."

"For the customer, keeping appointments and good planning are as important as a quality product. Planning is always the difficult search between your customers' demands on the one hand and the best achievable for your organization on the other. A solid and well-functioning operational planning package can assist you in this."

Satisfied customers, significant cost savings

Joinery companies can make almost nothing in stock. Therefore, a good planning package is crucial for proper operation. Arrangements for production progress, order tracking, as well as pickup, delivery or placement of finished goods must be clear and organized for every employee.
"It is important to know when you can deliver a site, what the capacity of the shifts is, who is where at any time, what material is in stock and what needs to be ordered. With JoRPA, the user gets a total overview of the status of orders and processes, as well as staffing in the workshop and on the sites.

"The result: satisfied customers and an optimization of profitability," explains De Weerdt. "Thanks to a geographical tool in the planning software, the user can plan and optimize work resources in the field in a clear way. The routes followed are improved, the number of resources used is rationalized and the volume of work across the assembly teams is optimized. This results in significant cost savings and improved customer service."
