Services and capabilities

• ERP system for production: delivery and configuration of an integrated ERP that covers quotation, order management, production planning, stock management, delivery documentation and invoicing.
• Automated request ingestion and processing: systems that import customer enquiries from email, PDFs and CAD/DXF files and extract structured data using AI-based recognition to reduce manual data entry.
• Quotation and cost calculation automation: modules that generate quotations and perform material, quantity and labor calculations within the ERP so offers can be produced faster and exported to customers.
• Production planning and shopfloor coordination: features for capacity planning, scheduling, work plans, and optional machine cockpit views to track manufacturing status in real time.
• Inventory, shipping and accounting integrations: functionality to manage goods receipt/issue, produce delivery notes from orders, automate invoicing and connect payment or accounting services.
• Deployment, integration and onboarding: modular licensing with cloud and on-premise options, standard interfaces to third-party services, and structured digital training (RF Academy) to support adoption.

Industry focus

• Machinery and plant engineering: implementation of order-to-production workflows and support for multi-operation quotations and capacity planning.
• Contract manufacturing and CNC machining (Zerspanung): integration of complex part data into quotation and production workflows, and support for small-series and single-part production.
• Sheet metal processing, laser and press brake operations: handling of drawing, DXF and production parameters to move from enquiry to cut/press scheduling.
• Metal and steel fabrication: management of assemblies, welding and multi-step manufacturing processes within a unified ERP workflow.

Technology and delivery approach

Deliverables are implemented as a modular ERP product with options for cloud or on-premise installation and modular licensing. Technical components include document and email import pipelines, AI-driven content recognition for automatic field extraction, integrated calculation engines for offers, production scheduling modules and interfaces to third-party services such as Imnoo, Lexoffice, Sendcloud and Fin-API. Projects typically include configuration of data flows to avoid duplicate manual entry, setup of integrations for shipping and accounting, and user onboarding through digital training. The delivery approach emphasises connecting enquiry intake, quotation, production and accounting into a continuous data workflow and automating repetitive administrative steps.
