In today’s customer-centric experience economy, meeting every customer’s unique requirements and keeping a profit is hard. Customers need products faster and cheaper and have personal preferences. To meet the ever-changing market, you need to build products based on customer profiles and requirements and adhere to regulatory compliance to fulfill the products. The OpenJanela Software helps Window and Door manufacturers build better, faster, and cheaper products and manage the product’s life cycle better than other products. We have worked in the Window and Door Manufacturing industry for so long. We have created formulas and product templates for Windows and Doors. You do not have to manually draw pics of the product. This makes it easier for you to create a production report for the customer’s specifications and requirements provided in the Quote. OpenJanela Software gives the power of ERP software coupled with Quoting Software in a single application.
To build customer-centric configured products, OpenJanela Software uses mass customization technology to offer tailored products to end customers at the cost of mass production [1]. According to Anderson, Mass customization is ‘the ability to design and manufacture customized products at mass production efficiency and speed’ [2]. Nowadays, it has become a common practice for manufacturers to move from traditional make to stock and make to deliver to Mass Customization.
OpenJanela Software uses Mass Customization to pull the customer’s needs and behaviors in the design process. This is to develop the intelligence to design products to properly meet their expectations.
