Case Study: Schlotterer achieves Industry 4.0-ready, paperless production with A+W Software

Schlotterer - Customer Case Study

Schlotterer, Austria's market leader in exterior sun protection, sought to modernize its operations and advance towards Industry 4.0. The company needed a holistic software solution to network its entire business, from order entry to production and shipping, and to provide a more efficient and error-proof ordering process for its customers. They partnered with A+W Software and implemented the A+W Cantor ERP system alongside the A+W iQuote webshop configurator.

The solution from A+W Software integrated all commercial and production areas, deploying over 100 A+W Cantor monitor workstations to create a paperless, highly automated production environment. The A+W iQuote webshop allowed customers to configure products seamlessly using Schlotterer's master data, eliminating ordering errors and lengthy clarifications. The results included 100% system availability, significantly sped-up processes, and reliable status updates across all departments. As a measurable impact, Schlotterer expanded its capacity with a €15 million facility that created 30 new jobs and guarantees product delivery within 10 days.
