Digitize, connect and automate - that's what 3E Datentechnik GmbH of southern Germany is all about. The software house, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, has been developing efficient digital solutions for window manufacturers with the aim of improving the digitization and reliability of business processes since the company was founded. The ERP software 3E-LOOK is the solid foundation for this. With 3E-LOOK, the IT specialist ensures perfect processes in order processing, planning, staffing on the shop floor, as well as in production, sales, shipping, trading and on the construction site or with customers.
Digitization makes processes more efficient and saves resources in the process. To realize the full potential of that digitization, it must be fully and continuously implemented.
"A fully integrated solution like 3E-LOOK is all-encompassing, i.e. all the way to the construction site and to after-sales service. The mobile app also covers the entire process from measuring and assembly to maintenance, service and after-sales," says Frans Visscher, 3E-LOOK Consultant for the Netherlands.
"When developing the app, it was important to us to make it as simple as possible for the user. All the steps should be self-explanatory, because only then will such a tool be used."
The app ensures end-to-end digital processes all the way to the construction site and maximum availability of information. Thanks to the link with Google Maps, the surveyor or mechanic can easily plan his route. The digital delivery note, available on mobile devices, ensures that delivery can also be done neatly and completely paperless. The customer signs digitally.
In addition to the high availability of information, extraordinary applicability and an extremely high degree of personalization contribute to making processes as efficient as possible. Filters, graphs and dashboards are integrated in order processing, which can be specially adapted to the user's needs. On the road to digitization, paperless purchasing is an important element for all companies, large or small.
After all, procurement processes become safer and faster that way. Resources are also saved. With the light version of the materials management software, even smaller companies can now process their transactions with suppliers fully digitally and automatically. Although this light version includes fewer functions - and is therefore also easier to use - it still allows all processes to run paperless with their regular suppliers using the openTRANS standard.
Digital and automated processes also ensure maximum flexibility and reliability in production planning and control. The excellent database of data, which LOOK enables, provides the basis for highly complex control systems. The technology of control and operation ensures transparency and regulation. Other features make work even easier. Just think of the integration of web configurators - in the first half of this year, the web configurators of Beck&Heun, Alukon, Warema, Roma and Roltex will be integrated into the software - or the use of app-driven scanners on mobile devices in shipping or material management.
"We want to largely automate routine tasks and at least make them paperless," Visscher indicates.
3E also offers intelligent digital solutions for trade, such as the browser solution WEBSales for trading partners and the software 3E-LOOK Trade for trading companies. Both solutions are specially tailored to the needs of the target group and create end-to-end digital processes. Work becomes easier and processes more efficient. 3E-LOOK visualizes all processes with digital efficiency in one solution, from one central database: processing, calculation, design, work preparation, production, purchasing, shipping, assembly and service.
