SWINGpps

Despite the growing importance of customer orientation, special requests remain a huge challenge to many companies, because Batch size 1 demands a lot of organisational flexibility in terms of manufacturing, logistics and especially controlling software.

SWINGpps is the solution to Batch size 1. The topic of variants was a priority even at the stage of design and development of the solution. Millions of variants may be managed after creating the basic product using of lean basic data administration and variant management.

The SWINGpps functionalities cover precisely those areas which are often problematic with customised products. Checks whether a product is feasible to produce are, for instance, already carried out at the order capturing stage. Based on a modular system, SWINGpps will compile concrete parts lists and working schedules with exact measurements, colours, etc. for each product. No describing text. To find a concrete price already when capturing an order, basic prices given in the product master are complemented with surcharges and discounts for materials, paints, etc. Options to evaluate and analyse are another important aspect. The topic of variants, descriptive product properties and check-outs are important issues in this field.

SWINGpps is powerful in the following sectors!

• Variant manufacturers
  • Doors, gates, frames
  • Office furniture and accessories
  • Special equipment, tools
