Background

For years, zweifel metall ag prepared quotes using Excel calculations, which became increasingly complex. Due to personnel changes, these could no longer be developed further. The existing calculation solution from a machinery manufacturer could not process all quotes due to the very high initial effort and the requirement that items and laser geometries must already be entered into the system.

Evaluation

During the evaluation of a new calculation solution, it became clear that steelit met all the requirements outlined in the specifications and even offered additional functionalities. steelit proved to be a professional solution with a practical design and easy handling.

In close collaboration with zweifel metall ag, steelit was tailored to meet their needs. With testing and parallel operation, it took only 12 months to integrate steelit into the workflow of zweifel metall ag, and to bid farewell to Excel spreadsheets.
