Industrial Equipment Manufacturing

Sense is able to help Industrial Equipment Manufacturers (IEM) and other “make to order” companies streamline their business processes to optimise operational efficiency and maximise profitability.

Industrial equipment and machinery manufacturers produce some of the most complex products in the world, while faced with strict environmental regulations and global competition. Yet, the prices of those products are continually eroded. Customers want specialized products, but want them commoditized to minimize maintenance and life-cycle costs. Successful industrial manufacturers need to better anticipate customer requirements while reducing the impact of these requirements during the conceptual design and quoting phases.

A robust computing environment with industry-specific functionality from Microsoft Dynamics AX helps make it easier to exchange product and design data, while supporting the rapid evolution of business processes. Microsoft Dynamics offer ERP and CRM solutions for all stages of the industrial equipment manufacturing cycle - from planning and quote development to design, manufacturing, and after-sales service.
