Manufacturing
“Therefore has been beneficial to Weastec because it has allowed us to go to a more electronic system. The user interface is very friendly; it’s simple to navigate to move between documents and workflow processes. We no longer have to send physical documents to and from departments to get authorizing signatures.”
Manufacturing is the backbone of the global economy, providing jobs, creating value and stimulating development in countries around the world.
Information management software has become an essential tool for the manufacturing industry, helping manufacturers improve production efficiency, facilitate better communication and collaboration, improve quality control processes, and reduce costs to improve profitability. With the right software in place, manufacturers can gain a competitive advantage in a rapidly evolving market by responding quickly to changing customer demands, optimizing production processes, and making data-driven decisions to improve business performance.
There are numerous approaches to improving efficiency in manufacturing facilities; Six Sigma/lean manufacturing, Kaizen, GMP, JIT, and more, but no matter what approach (or combination of approaches) your team uses, Therefore™ can help you meet your goals.
- Keep a Clean House: Therefore™ keeps documents within “reach,” whenever and wherever you need them, while simultaneously maximizing desk and floor space by clearing areas of desk trays and file cabinets.
- Eliminate Wasted Time: Making documents easy to find reduces time, and automated workflows do to! Route documents that need approval to the right person (or people) and stop chasing people down for signatures.
- Standardize: Therefore™ takes away the guesswork through workflows that can properly and automatically route documents to the correct people, as well as standardize administrative processes such as what happens when a new order come in.
