Trakware ETO MES New Version Endorsed by HWI

PRLog (Press Release) – Mar 21, 2008 – Trakware Systems (www.trakware.com) announced the business availability of TRAKware v6, the leading software solution for To-Order enterprises which have deep interdependencies between engineering and manufacturing processes. From the initial customer order to final installation, TRAKware is poised to deliver an experience unmatched in the industry, including significant enhancements over earlier version 5.

According to Randy Richel, P.Eng., CEO and General Manager of Canadian-based Trakware, “Enterprise software built for repetitive manufacturing needs massive amounts of customization to even begin to adequately handle the complex, unique, one-time requirements of custom-engineered products. The newest TRAKware Solution is ready to meet these challenges by bringing an “on the manufacturing floor” innovated application to allow To-Order (engineer to order, make to order) environments a competitive edge to manufacture today’s complex products.”


TRAKware v6 was whole-heartedly endorsed by Connie Fuller of HWI, who noted, “The upgrade was quick with minimal down time. Our staff was able to access the new version in less than one hour…Doc links supports our need for drawings, documents, specs and communication to be accessible and shareable between users and linked appropriately to the right locations such as purchasing specs linked to Purchase Orders and Drawings linked to work orders. New features in Material Management will empower our production staff to manage inventory; these improvements will directly provide a financial impact in inventory control, work order costs and production schedules by having adequate quantities on hand, the ability to fulfill demand from exiting stock and accurately track work order/project costs as the system was designed to do. New filters and views present opportunities to drill down to details for better evaluation of inventories, products and project detail. Accounting interface with our SAGE Timberline accounting software supports our business design of keeping the production details in Trakware and sending summary financial information to our accounting system.”



Richel also noted, “Early adopters of TRAKware v6 expect dramatic gains in profitability and productivity through capabilities that address core business issues in new ways. Over 40% of our customers have already upgraded to v6.”
