Case Study: Reinhold Koch GmbH achieves cost-effective digitalization and 100% production transparency with Ninox

Reinhold Koch - Customer Case Study

Reinhold Koch is a long-established metal machining company in Balingen, Württemberg (founded 1938, seven employees) that faced slow, manual order and production workflows and costly, complex PPS/ERP options. Managing director Ralf Hirsch selected Ninox to digitize administrative processes—managing customers, orders, products and material stocks—while avoiding the expense and implementation burden of large-scale industry systems.

Ninox was paired with a cloud-based MES to create an integrated solution: Ninox handles order processing, stock control and production order creation, transfers orders to the MES for planning and execution, and receives real-time status back; customers can log into Ninox to check order progress. Implemented in under three months, the Ninox + MES setup delivered faster, end-to-end workflows, on-demand visibility of stock, production progress and delivery dates (100% transparency), and significant time savings for both the company and its customers.
