The Challenge
Key processes were not automated, forcing every order to be entered and recalculated
multiple times across different systems. This duplication created data errors, slowed workflows, and prevented a smooth flow into production.
Sales, design, and manufacturing often worked from inconsistent information, leading to delays and unnecessary rework. Without automation, every order became a bottleneck.
The Solution
We developed a seamless integration between the ERP configurator and Rhino, a 3D modelling platform. With this setup, every configured order automatically generates the corresponding 2D and 3D model and technical drawings. Sales, production, and customers
now all work from the same accurate data source. These can be pushed directly to production machines and also shared with suppliers, third-party sellers, and even clients. Through a web-based configurator, clients can design and customise their own mailboxes, with data flowing instantly into the same integrated system.
The Impact – Single data entry
The integration streamlined order handling, technical documentation, and production preparation.
By moving towards single data entry, information now flows consistently through sales, design, and production without duplication. This boosted speed and accuracy, reduced rework, and improved customer communication through realistic 3D previews delivered upfront.
The project is ongoing, with each new variant expanding the database. The growing data library accelerates drawing creation and allows technical designers to focus their expertise on the most complex and demanding projects.
Key Results
– Faster order handling and smoother cross-department collaboration
– Automated generation of technical drawings and 3D previews
– Direct data transfer to production machines for reduced manual input
– Growing BIM-compatible database for long-term integration in construction ecosystems
– Increased accuracy and reduced risk of costly rework
– Greater transparency and clarity for customers during the sales process
– Freed-up capacity for technical designers to concentrate on high-value, complex projects
– Integration across every possible interface, designed as add-ons or plug-ins in an open-source ideology, making the platform easily adaptable to future systems, supplier tools, and client-facing applicationsLorem ipsum dolor sit amet. Et suscipit laboriosam et

Looking Ahead
Single-data entry throughout the entire process is gradually being achieved, creating a single source of truth that connects sales, design, production, and the clients. Over time, this will also expand into Building Information Modelling (BIM), building a scalable database that links our products into wider architectural and construction ecosystems.
