Without a dedicated production planning tool, there are often delays in order fulfillment, excessive stockpiling of raw materials or components, which generates storage costs, as well as the inability to quickly respond to changes in orders or deliveries. Moreover, lack of consistency in production management and lack of ongoing control over production progress may lead to errors.
The APS module, offering advanced scheduling functions, enables optimal production planning. Thanks to it, the company can precisely determine material needs, optimize the use of resources and machines, eliminate excess inventories, and respond flexibly to changes in orders or deliveries. Ongoing monitoring of production progress and access to key production parameters allows you to make the right decisions at every stage. Moreover, integration with ERP systems ensures consistency of information and minimizes the risk of errors.
The APS system allows for optimal production planning, which translates into measurable benefits. Thanks to the module, the planner can control the schedule of production orders in real time and make necessary modifications in response to current failures, shortages of raw materials or changes in orders. Thanks to access to the schedule by many departments, production employees can verify the production plan on an ongoing basis and, in connection with the MES module, report the condition of machines and activities performed in real time.
When creating dedicated software, we focus on meeting the needs of your company. By separating the processes that take place in your company, we are able to create dedicated software that reflects the circulation of documents and information. By taking a flexible approach to the challenges posed by each project, we are able to adapt the APS module by expanding it with new functions, modifying existing ones, and even developing a solution unique to the needs of your company.
By implementing the aveneo APS tool, you get a comprehensive planning tool that reduces order execution time, eliminates errors and increases the productivity of your company.
Our primary goal is not so much to provide software, but to actually address the needs and solve problems of our customers. Before we start creating a vision of the software's functionality together, we will conduct a deep analysis to reveal the needs. We will then prioritize them based on business values. We will also look for paths to optimize the operation of your business processes, not only from the perspective of the software itself.
For us, the key value in working with non-technology-savvy clients is to bring them as close to technology as possible. That's why we devote a lot of time and attention to carefully explaining each stage of the software development process. We also provide advice so that design decisions are fully conscious and based on understandable values.
Many clients are afraid of disclosing the budget at the early stage of the project, believing that it will negatively affect the valuation of the project. This is the most common mistake and cause of frustration in the software development process. Really defining the budget allows you to look at functional needs from many perspectives. Being aware of the limited budget, we can look for more economical solutions that may not be fully satisfactory, but at this stage they will address the needs and will be sufficient. As the business value of the entire project increases, these areas may be developed, but this does not have to happen immediately. There are several proven solutions that allow for controlled budget management - we will present them and help you with this task as soon as we get to know each other.
This is one of the most common concerns that arises at the early stage of talks about implementing a new project. In short: no. An agile approach to a project does not preclude setting clear goals and points on the timeline that are to be achieved. However, frequent and small design iterations allow you to obtain the desired functionalities faster with a reduced budget. The combination of lean development with continuous validation of requirements and assumptions perfectly verifies the previous needs analysis. In fact, the analysis progresses with the development of the project and naturally optimizes its scope by limiting unnecessary steps.
If our portfolio is not enough of an argument, we will be happy to present technological possibilities and talk about the challenges we have encountered over the years of working on other projects and how we found solutions to seemingly unsolvable problems.
In communication with clients, we focus primarily on honesty, openness and transparency. This allows you to avoid understatements while building lasting, mutual trust.
We look at each project on two scales - micro and macro. On a macro scale, we define milestones for modules and functional areas that we want to achieve in specific order and points on the project timeline. On a micro scale, we manage tasks in iterations no longer than 2 weeks, so we have full control over the implementation stage and can dynamically respond to emerging threats by e.g. increasing internal resources.
Implementation is not the last stage of the software development cycle at aveneo. We help with user training and training. We are the best partner for this because we know all the design assumptions and full mechanics of the delivered solution. This will guarantee satisfaction and understanding of the solution, and will also allow you to collect conclusions from users regarding potential optimizations and new functionalities.
For large projects, it is difficult to bring all stakeholders together at every meeting. It is completely natural for different departments to have mutually exclusive expectations. Our role is to collect all the needs and design a solution that will take into account all business processes and reconcile those that stand in opposition to each other into a coherent and logical whole.
This is completely normal! Every investment carries some risk. Depending on the source of the concern, additional levels of security should be implemented. For our part, we will try to find tools that will help you get rid of stress and guarantee the success of the project. For example, if concerns concern the functional scope, we suggest identifying the most valuable functionalities and building a small section of the software, and then validating the assumptions and checking in a real environment whether the solution is satisfactory.
