Case Study: DKW Engineering Ltd achieves increased profits and productivity with Vero Software

Javelin Production Control Increases DKW’s Profits

DKW Engineering Ltd, a Portsmouth-based precision engineering subcontractor serving sectors such as aerospace, medical and automotive, was held back by an aging Jobshop system and fragmented processes that caused machine idle time, limited shopfloor visibility, slow quoting and incomplete traceability—constraints that reduced output and squeezed margins.

Upgrading to Javelin (2013/2014 R1) and refreshing IT and plant linked 26 CNC machines as work centres and deployed Scheduling, Shop Floor Data Capture, MRP and integrated estimating/CAD. The system delivers real-time factory views, instant works‑order visibility and full traceability, cutting single-part quote processing by ~75%, boosting productivity and quality control, and adding several percentage points to DKW’s profit margin.
