Core industry software: order and production control
Custom software development
The Challenge
Fragmented spreadsheets and scattered lists
Sales, work preparation and production relied on separate files and message threads. On-time delivery and post-calculation suffered from media breaks; capacity planning was only approximate.
Auditability and traceability
The customer needed traceable status transitions, clear roles and exports for recalculation—without auditors getting lost in technical click paths.
Our Solution
Solution impressions
Domain model and phased go-live
We refined the business object model with key users and shipped modules in short releases: first quotation and order, then scheduling, finally executive KPIs.
Technical foundation
The application runs containerised with defined DB migrations and automated tests on critical booking rules. Interfaces to adjacent CAD-related systems were delivered as stable REST endpoints with versioning.
Results
Operational clarity
Dispatch decisions draw on one shared data source; back-and-forth between office and shop floor dropped noticeably. Enhancements are budgeted within the existing release cadence.
