Case Study: Maier Machines achieves streamlined BOM management and efficient scheduling with abas ERP

Maier Machines - Customer Case Study

Maier Machines, a 35‑employee industrial machinery maker with sites in Germany, England, France, the USA, China and Saudi Arabia, struggled to map its extensive bills of materials using a previous merchandise management system. The company engaged abas to deploy an ERP solution to handle complex BOM management, scheduling and production planning for its Swiss and lathe CNC machines and special mechanical engineering work.

abas delivered a close‑to‑standard ERP implementation with custom infosystems, intensive scheduling and BOM management, allowing Maier Machines to shift from full fabrication to more assembly‑oriented production without disruption. The integrated scheduling reduced purchasing-related expenses, the Linux-based server ran stably (no reboots or interventions for four consecutive years), and the quick deployment plus plans for barcode integration improved warehousing and service efficiency.
