Ninety percent of its production is exported abroad. Over the past five years, MSA has undergone a transformation and modernisation in the areas of professional management and engineering. Another necessary step has been to speed up the bidding process, which is crucial for accurately defining the individual needs of each project. The solution was the deployment of the IS SOFTIP MONACO.
SOFTIP MONACO is a specialized software tool for recording, archiving and creating technical documentation in manufacturing companies. This is exactly the type of information system that is used in companies such as MSA. In its case, it is true that every fitting intended for the energy industry (and for nuclear in particular) must be of world-class quality - in terms of design, quality and safety.
A huge amount of detail thus goes into the final configuration of the orders. This of course made pricing, for example, very difficult, not to mention the hardly enforceable rules for processing bids.
Thanks to the deployment of SOFTIP MONACO, the company will now be able to sell unified products that meet 90 percent of the requirements, but which are configurable in the necessary details. The chosen variant also corresponds to the automatic creation of BOMs. The development of the offer and the price is thus simple and transparent. The integration of the solution into the MSA information system is a matter of course.
Speeding up the response to tender enquiries
Refinement and refinement of price estimates and deadlines
Smoother and faster execution of core business processes
User-friendly interface
After the deployment of SOFTIP MONACO, the necessary information was made available to the entire chain of participating departments from the preparation of the offer, production to dispatch. Complete documentation is available at the right time in the right place, which not only speeds up processes, facilitates planning, booking of the necessary capacities, but of course also subsequent reporting or analyses. And last but not least - the refinement and realisation of estimated prices and deadlines has increased the credibility of the company and reduced the proportion of „lost“ or „missed“ projects and orders.
Industry
SOFTIP MONACO
The deployment of SOFTIP MONACO has brought us into a completely new world, which is suddenly clearer, faster and easier than the one we have been using. And almost as important as the functionality itself - the implementation was a matter of a short time and did not significantly affect our operations.
