Managing customer orders on a project basis is one of the biggest challenges in the Elevator industry. The continuous synchronization between project planning, purchasing and resources is a major challenge for every project-driven business. Because of the dynamic nature of specifications and plans, it is important to have real-time access to a variety of information: delivery dates, resource utilization, purchase orders, bills of materials, etc. Integral control of the business processes has a positive effect on delivery reliability, project margins, utilization levels, and project overhead. What do you need to confront your challenges?
