Mass Customization

Manage the manufacturing of custom products.

Examples

Case Studies

Designer Products
Perennials & Sutherland
Manage the end-to-end process of manufacturing custom rugs – from quoting custom rug orders, sending renderings to customers for approval, providing samples, coordinating the production of the rug with the factory in India and then running quality control back in the United States.
Food Packaging
Transcontinental
Creating custom packaging solutions for each client from an array of choices was very difficult to manage. In the absence of a robust work management system that supports mass customization projects, templates were copied and customized for each unique order. This is a time-consuming, error-prone way to accomplish the goal.

Internal Operations

Manage complex, time-sensitive internal processes

Examples

Case Studies

Vendor SKU Management
Home Depot

Franchise Onboarding
Re/Max
The solution included processes to automatically manage dependencies, and to track and schedule all the tasks so they only appear in the franchisees task list when required, along with their due dates.
