Solutions for windows, doors and more
Production of modern components...
...more than original craftsmanship
The construction element manufacturing industry has undergone a remarkable transformation in recent years. Originally deeply rooted in the tradition of craftsmanship, many of the companies have developed into highly specialized industrial operations. While the production of doors, windows, façade elements and other building elements used to be predominantly manual, modern manufacturers now use the most advanced technologies and automated processes.
This transition from craftsmanship to industrial scale has been driven largely by technological progress. CNC machines, modern IT programs and computer-aided design (CAD) software have enabled manufacturers to increase efficiency, improve precision and offer more customized solutions without sacrificing flexibility.
The introduction of state-of-the-art machinery has not only made the production process more efficient, but has also boosted innovation in the industry.
It is precisely this development that additional demands on the (digital) cooperation between manufacturers and specialist retailers.
What challenges exist
As a result of the development towards ultra-modern manufacturing operations, software manufacturers in the industry have focused very strongly on the pure production process. Internal production processes have thus been efficiently solved, but manufacturers are now faced with another major challenge:
Retail customers want fast, simple and maximum transparency when it comes to their orders and products.
This development is a result of increasingly complex supply chains and rising expectations of fast, precise and reliable product delivery. Customers from the specialist trade, who are themselves under a great deal of time pressure from their customers with a simultaneous shortage of specialist staff, demand a smooth exchange of information from manufacturers in order to be able to plan their own processes better and design them efficiently.
A key difficulty here is the high complexity of the manufacturer's software solution, based on its ERP system. This makes it very difficult to connect customers to the system. Above all, however, it requires a high level of knowledge for the specialist retailer to be able to use it. Likewise, due to the variety of products, it is hardly possible for the specialist retailer to use the various software solutions from the different suppliers, as these do not represent a uniform standard and, above all, are not networked solutions. This means that a specialist retailer has to keep track of orders and delivery dates for a project in different systems, depending on the variety of products.
To summarize, component manufacturers are facing a growing challenge to meet the increased demands of the specialist trade for transparency and information flow and information flow. It requires digital concepts as well as organizational adjustments and more efficient communication with retailers in order to remain competitive in the long term.
