Transparent processes, reliable data and automation are crucial

Those who can respond flexibly to changing demands, challenges and regulations are ready for the future

To be successful and remain competitive, companies must invariably be able to respond to market demands, challenges and regulations. This also applies to window manufacturers in the Netherlands. An intelligent ERP solution, such as 3E-LOOK from 3E Datentechnik, helps them do just that. The South German software house is an established player with more than 30 years of experience and extensive expertise as a supplier of solutions for the window and door sector. The editors of Profile spoke with Arnaud Kropp, sales director at 3E.

What should window manufacturers focus on to be ready for the future?

"Those who want to be future-proof must be able to adapt quickly to changing customer requirements, supply chain challenges or new regulations. Transparent processes, reliable data and a high level of automation are indispensable for this. Companies that rely on a specialized software solution are better equipped to operate efficiently, manage their production and remain competitive in a rapidly evolving market."

How does 3E-LOOK support window manufacturers in their daily tasks?

"Our end-to-end digitization solution goes beyond a traditional ERP. It maps the entire workflow of window and door production - from quotation and technical design to production planning, installation and post-calculation. Because this software package is tailored specifically to the industry, it addresses real-world challenges with smart, targeted tools - whether for custom or series production. It ensures that processes run smoothly, safely and reliably. That means simpler processes, fewer errors and complete transparency throughout the company."

Why is an industry-specific ERP system the right solution for Dutch window manufacturers?

"Like their peers across Europe, they face many challenges, including rising costs, a shortage of skilled labor and the need for digital transformation. A dedicated industry solution, such as 3E-LOOK, offers clear benefits because it understands the needs for the industry and covers them off-the-shelf. This reduces implementation time and adaptation efforts. Dutch companies benefit from a proven, future-proof system that is scalable and can grow with their business."

So what role can 3E-LOOK play in digital transformation among window manufacturers?

"3E-LOOK often acts as the foundation for a digital transformation. As a central platform, it connects people, machines and data. This software enables seamless digital processes - from a customer's initial inquiry to the delivery of the finished product. Additional systems such as CAD, machine interfaces or document management can be integrated effortlessly. The result is a digital ecosystem that simplifies operations, supports decision-making and makes companies truly future-ready."

Competition is tough. How can 3E-LOOK help increase efficiency and reduce costs?

"Our software helps to standardize, speed up and automate processes. This saves time and minimizes errors. Thanks to consistent data flows, all departments work with the same reliable data. All this leads to a high degree of process safety. Especially in technical design and production control, there is considerable potential to increase efficiency. Purchasing can also be optimized through better material planning. This results in less downtime and shorter lead times and allows for better cost control. These factors contribute directly to a stronger competitive position."
