Responding to change in the manufacturing sector.

The manufacturing industry is changing rapidly, but offers opportunities for those who look ahead. Rising raw material and energy costs, staff shortages and complex supply chains are making it increasingly difficult to align production, planning and customer expectations. Digital transformation helps companies produce more intelligently, create clarity and respond flexibly to changes in demand, capacity and regulations.

Challenges in the sector.

Manufacturing companies operate in an increasingly complex environment. Customers expect shorter delivery times, customisation and complete transparency, while costs, regulations and capacity pressures are increasing. Many organisations have fragmented systems and manual processes, which limits insight into production, planning, costs and quality. Without real-time data and integrated systems, it becomes difficult to make quick decisions, manage risks and remain competitive.

Customer experience & self-service

Customers want to know immediately where their order is, when a delivery will arrive and whether changes are possible. If communication takes place via email, telephone or separate systems, delays and errors occur, leaving the customer frustrated.

Transparency & trust

When there is a lack of overview in orders, production planning and quality control, delays, errors and uncertainty arise among customers and partners.

Production progress & risk management

Parallel production processes and dependencies make it difficult to identify bottlenecks or delays at an early stage. As a result, problems pile up, putting deadlines at risk and increasing stress among teams.

Costs and resource management

Rising material costs and wages make it difficult to monitor margins. When systems are not linked, it is difficult to make quick adjustments and deploy resources optimally.

Automation & data integration

Many companies work with different systems for ERP, MES and planning. Manual processing leads to errors, duplication of work and data pollution.

Scalability & innovation

New products, variants or production lines often require complex IT projects and lengthy implementation. Innovation slows down and production processes become less flexible.

Legislation, compliance & quality

Quality standards, certifications, and legislation are constantly changing. Manually tracking compliance and documentation is error-prone, time-consuming, and costly.

What software solution are you looking for?

DMP

The DMP acts as a central source for all order, production and quality information. Dashboards, portals and integrations provide real-time insight into production progress, capacity utilisation and risks. Data-driven monitoring enables proactive adjustments, making production predictable and increasing delivery reliability. The DMP connects systems, automates processes and integrates data across the entire chain, from order to delivery and aftercare.

Mobile app

Apps bring real-time data directly to employees and customers, even when they are on the road or on the shop floor. Production progress, capacity utilisation and orders are always transparent. Employees can respond more quickly to deviations and customers have up-to-date information about their products or orders. This means that everyone works with the same data and communication runs smoothly and efficiently.

Configurator

The configurator allows new products, variants or processes to be quickly set up and managed. Changes in production, pricing models or product options are easy to implement, without complex IT processes. This makes it possible to respond flexibly to demand and market changes, while processes remain clear and manageable.

Portals

Portals provide a central location for customers, partners and employees to view and manage information in a clear manner. Cube develops customised portals, such as dealer portals, supplier portals or AFAS-integrated portals, fully tailored to your processes. All relevant information, from orders and deliveries to production data and documentation, is always transparent, speeding up communication, reducing errors and increasing customer satisfaction.

Website

Websites present products, services and production capacity online in a clear manner. With e-commerce functionality, customers can easily place orders, adjust configurations or request customised products. Integration with the DMP and other systems ensures that all data remains visible in real time, making the ordering process smooth and improving the customer experience.

AI

AI provides valuable support for planning, resource management and decision-making. Integration with ERP and planning systems makes production capacity, costs and risks more predictable. Smart dashboards and data-driven analyses enable fast and reliable decisions, making processes more efficient and productive.
