EVO introduces a new app that allows employees in production and manufacturing control to independently create order and shipping documents for external service providers – without involving the administrative purchasing department.
In many production companies, it is a common occurrence: components must be sent to external service providers during the ongoing manufacturing process – for example, for surface treatment, heat treatment, or special processing processes. Until now, this required the involvement of purchasing or administrative staff, leading to delays, coordination efforts, and unnecessary hustle in the operation.
With the new app in the ERP system EVOcompetition, authorized employees in production and manufacturing control can now prepare and trigger the necessary order and delivery documents for external services themselves. The app intuitively guides the user through the process – from component capture to the provision of all shipping-relevant documents.
In practice, the advantages of the new app are clearly noticeable. It leads to time savings because production does not have to wait for approvals or documents from administration. Flexibility is increased because employees at the shop floor level can directly and also at short notice create the papers for shipping components to external service providers. At the same time, purchasing and administrative staff are relieved from on-demand tasks, and the risk of errors regarding the scope of external services and quantity deviations is reduced, as the employees on-site know the requirements and projects better.
Ultimately, the external services app empowers production employees to trigger processes themselves – without bureaucratic hurdles and yet anchored in the consistently digital business processes. Thus, the new app for the ERP system EVOcompetition is a concrete step towards agile and decentralized organized manufacturing.
