Modular software package gives frame manufacturers complete freedom

In this article, we are going to talk about a module-based software package, all components of which fit together seamlessly. Suitable for both small-scale and professional production environments.

With MatrixKozijn, Dutch software house Matrix Software offers a welcome total solution for the automation of all disciplines that come up during the manufacture of window frames. From design and production to sales and delivery. And the great thing is: as a user, you only choose the building blocks you actually need. No more, no less.

With an ever-growing customer base of over 1,400 companies, Matrix Software has been making inroads in the automation world since 1983. With software and services for structural engineers, concrete plants, steel fabricators and frame manufacturers. One of the solutions serving the latter target group is MatrixKozijn. "This software total package not only stands for unprecedented reliability and ease of use, it also has everything on board to keep in step with changes in terms of needs, production capacity and company size," said Hans Storms, branch manager window frame industry on behalf of Matrix Software. "MatrixKozijn Hout offers every window frame manufacturer the customization required."

Always flexible

Thus, the entry-level version MatrixKozijn LT is the perfect software for smaller production companies and frame factories or to take follow-up steps towards within the existing company automation. In contrast, MatrixKozijn SH, the leading software for professional frame factories, is the ultimate total solution. The package includes various modules for design and production, but also for calculation, work preparation, CNC machine control, customer relationship management, order generation, delivery, reporting and even BIM import and export. Useful for architects and construction companies who wish to design window frames in a co-makership with manufacturers.

"Whatever the need, there is always a solution," says Storms. "For every department, for every size of company and completely tailored to the customer's needs. This is because he decides which modules he will take and which he will not. This flexibility is characteristic. For this package, but also for all our other software products.“
