Compusoft shows how to improve ordering with its upgraded CAD software.
With global materials shortages and staffing issues due to COVID-19 continuing to be a problem, lead times from production to delivery are being delayed, so getting orders right the first time is essential.
Other common problems for manufacturers include order inaccuracies and time spent with the retailer on amendments to correct them. This is not the best use of anyone’s time, and errors can still occur if communication isn’t completely clear. In addition, with some CAD software packages, manufacturers must update and maintain their own catalogs. Again, this takes up valuable time and errors can be made when transferring catalog items to the design.
Through its kitchen design software, Winner Flex, Compusoft has been tackling this issue for years by partnering with manufacturers across the globe to create consistent and accurate catalog data. Compusoft’s team includes 100+ data experts who work collaboratively with manufacturers to create brand catalogues quickly and accurately, from pricing to color and finish.
This close working relationship and focus on precision results in higher order accuracy and a reduction in remedials, which is better for both retailer and manufacturer. “If it’s in the design, then it’s in the order,” is how designer Joseph Murgatroyd of Inter Ceramica sums up this focus on catalog data.
So, catalogs within Winner Flex feature real images, not generic boxes. Technical order details are created automatically in the background as the retailer designs, so the moment they close a deal, an accurate parts and components list is ready to be shared with the manufacturer. This means there’s less room for error, and you can be sure what you supply will be correct to the design. Brian Reed, President & CEO at Just Interiors, added, “Winner has helped us to speed up the production of our designs and save time, as all the changes are automatically updated to the plan, perspective and elevation on the same screen.”
Thanks to the care taken in getting the data right, along with features that automatically add complex architectural features like worktops, upstands and toe kicks to a design, it’s easy for retailers to create beautiful, photorealistic renderings — in less than 30 minutes.
This focus on precision has been helping manufacturers speed up their production and delivery process, which is vital during this time of labor and supply shortages.
