They required a system that could enhance their efficiency and accuracy, particularly for high-value and custom projects.

How change happened

Soft Tech's V6 was used throughout the project, from initial estimation to manufacturing. V6's highly customizable features allowed Evolution Windows to control the complete BOM, create accurate cutting lists, fabrication reports, and optimized material orders.

The ability to export V6 files to CAD drawings and generate detailed reports streamlined the entire process, reducing manual workload and increasing efficiency.

What change delivered

The project saw a reduction in back-and-forth communication, minimized material wastage, and enhanced accuracy in estimations and production. These improvements contributed to their award-winning success, demonstrating V6's powerful capabilities.

What benefits can you expect?

Operational Efficiency: Streamlined production processes and improved real-time tracking across all stages.	Improved Order Entry: Enhanced order entry process and real-time customer updates, improving customer satisfaction.
Production Management: Reduced errors and improved production management, leading to increased throughput and efficiency.	Customization: Highly customizable ERP features that adapt to unique business needs and customer requirements.

V6 reduces the work I need to do to get the order into production. I send the job straight out from V6 to the team on the cutting floor, and 9 times out of 10 the team can make a job comfortably without any external input. The brilliant thing about V6 is it is highly customizable, with the technical depth to control the complete BOM. You can build everything from scratch, including curves, rakes, and interesting shapes, then display in detail how all the materials will fit together. This allowed us to provide a fully comprehensive estimate, including a visual of what the item will look like once it’s manufactured."
