Reduction of operational costs
Project summary
Groupe Shift was commissioned to design and deploy a custom production software for an industrial company in full expansion. With the opening of a new plant, the customer needed a centralized solution to manage all its operations efficiently while integrating existing internal processes.
The choice of Groupe Shift was naturally imposed because of our expertise in custom software development, proven during previous collaborations. Thanks to a long-standing partnership, we have designed a modular solution, perfectly adapted to the specific needs of the customer. The core of the application is based on a proven platform, to which we have added specialized modules according to the client’s business rules. We worked closely with their teams, meeting tight deadlines and adjusting the software as their needs evolved.
Our application includes modules covering administration, metallurgy, sales, orders, finished products, deliveries, raw materials and finance. The main objective was to ensure a smooth transition and enhance operational efficiency while diversifying product offerings.
Key elements and issues of the client
Prior to the project, the client faced major challenges related to the opening of the new plant. It was essential to ensure that new processes integrate seamlessly with existing systems, while minimizing production downtime. In addition, the management of orders, planning and deliveries became complex with the addition of new production lines. The main challenge was to ensure cohesion between old and new processes in order to maintain smooth operations.

L'expérience s'est très bien déroulée. Nous avions une personne de confiance à l'intérieur de l'équipe du Groupe Shift. Nous avons tissé de bons liens et à chaque fois que nous avions des questions, ils étaient là pour nous. C'est ce qui a permis de créer quelque chose qui correspond à nos besoins.
Results
- Centralization and automation of processes
The smooth integration of the different modules (administration, orders, production, finance) has made it possible to centralise all operations in a single system. This automation has reduced manual tasks and errors, increasing the accuracy and reliability of production and management processes.
- Optimization of deadlines and logistics
The implementation of the software has enabled us to optimize delivery planning and management, reducing lead times and improving customer satisfaction. Thanks to better coordination between orders, raw materials and finished products, the logistics process has become more fluid and efficient.
- Improved management of raw materials
The module dedicated to raw materials management provided better visibility and precise tracking of stocks, which allowed for their optimal use. The risk of a breakdown or surplus has been reduced, contributing to more efficient resource management and cost reduction.
- Reduction of operational costs
Process automation and improved resource management have directly reduced operational costs. With more accurate planning and optimized workflow management, the company was able to improve margins while maintaining high quality production.
