More control over your business processes

"We have been pioneering ERP software for the manufacturing industry for more than a decade," says Rob de Haas, director of Komdex. "With Komdex ERP Software, the Product Configurator and the creation of a CAD link via Caddossier, the user has more control over business processes without any extra effort."

Today, more than ever, it is imperative that business processes are streamlined from a to z. Those who still work with various separate Excel sheets, e-mail files and unclear overviews often have to perform double work; the overview is lacking and the whole is very susceptible to errors. After all, good project administration is integrated administration. "We at Komdex, through ERP software, integrate all this information in one place, with various components aligned," says De Haas.

Right information in the right place on time

Engineering, production and technology are core activities of manufacturing companies. A correct calculation and the quick dispatch of a quotation are necessary to win over customers. Then, after approval, engineering and work preparation must immediately get to work with the correct information so that the order can be completed on time.  

"With ERP software, companies can quickly and accurately make calculations and quotes; it provides an overview of purchased materials and parts and associated delivery times; users can send invoices, prepare packing slips, record hours for post-calculation, link CNC files and photos to orders via a digital file, and so on. In short, there is one central system where all the basic functionalities of streamlining business processes come together."

Easily configure products

Many manufacturing companies today already use an ERP system, but sometimes it is outdated or not quite set up to their needs. Rob de Haas: "We assist our customers in setting up their ERP system in accordance with their specific needs. For manufacturing companies, for example, it is interesting to use the Product Configurator. Those dealing with a wide variety of products with various options and dimensions can use the Product Configurator to put together a customer-specific end product based on knowledge rules that are defined. This makes it impossible to sell product combinations that are not possible at all. In other words, the Product Configurator is the guardian of standardization and can significantly improve and speed up internal processes."

Linking with CAD

"The link with CAD via Caddossier also provides a lot of benefits," says De Haas. "Caddossier makes draftsmen, engineers, work planners, buyers and production workers more productive. This makes it easy to work together with colleagues on orders and projects. Colleagues without a CAD package can also benefit from Caddosier, as they can use the same document database. Add-ins for Outlook and MS Office allow them to easily manage their documents and e-mail."

Quickly search, find and reuse

Caddossier makes it easy to search with an advanced search function. Think of using favorites, filters, searches, an overview of the last opened files or files, and so on. "As a result, much less time is lost in repetitive work such as searching for the right files for reuse and exporting, for example, production files such as DXF, STP, PDF, and so on." 

Export

Exports occur fully automatically, including plate results. "Caddossier goes through the active Assembly, automatically generating the desired files and then linking them to the parts list in Caddossier. This also allows the user to create only DWGs and STP files of the underlying 'milling work' of a specific Assembly. The Excel list of drawing numbers and quantities, including the STP, DWG and PD files, can then be emailed back immediately for the CAM package or purchasing."

Digital future-proof enterprise

ERP software can no longer be ignored in the manufacturing industry. Rob de Haas: "Komdex offers a complete range of software solutions that are extremely suitable for SMEs, but are also interesting for somewhat larger companies. We like to help companies on their way to a successful digital, future-proof enterprise."
