FAQ

What is the role of software in the manufacturing industry?

The purpose of manufacturing software is to automate time-consuming tasks, meet customer expectations with a suitable product offering, identify process optimization opportunities based on key metrics, and address production bottlenecks or inefficiencies.

What type of software is used in manufacturing?

The range of solutions typically deployed by manufacturing companies includes, for instance, ERP, MES, PLM, QMS, SMC, HRMS, and CRM.

How much does it cost to develop custom manufacturing software?

The budget for a custom software development project can vary based on several cost factors. These include software type, product architecture, functional scope, tech stack, integrations, and project team composition.

What is the difference between custom and off-the-shelf manufacturing software?

Custom solutions have a fully tailored feature set and extensive configuration possibilities, making it ideal for businesses with specific requirements and established workflows. Off-the-shelf software, on the other hand, comes with a fixed architecture and built-in capabilities and can be a good option for companies that prefer to avoid the complexities of a development project.
