References – Overview of Some of Our IT Projects

Centralization of Various Individual Applications and Data Sources

The customer’s ERP system couldn’t cover all the requirements of the operation. Various company departments and different systems needed to be merged and evaluated. Several internal departments and external technicians worked together in a comprehensive system from both the office and the construction site.

Implementation by Infosim®

  • Expansion and maintenance of complex Access databases and Excel templates
  • Development of a web application that centralizes and retrieves various individual applications and data sources (Excel, Access, ERP, MSSQL, Datev/Payroll/Vacation, Time tracking), processes them, and displays them for user-specific evaluation and editing in the browser

Linking various individual applications and data sources led to a better overview and efficient management

Planning and Control of Production

In close collaboration with our Microsoft Business Central (formerly Navision) partner Anaptis®, we handle the integration of production with the ERP system.

Implementation by Infosim®

  • Integration of ERP system with production: Linking various applications with Microsoft BC (formerly Dynamics NAV / Navision)
  • Control of PLC via OPC: Punching machines, foaming machines, presses
  • Information exchange within production using MQTT: Tracking material movement within the halls using microcontrollers
  • Integration of various scanners
  • Software for industrial tablets and rugged handhelds within production

Increased product capacity and improved robustness against disturbances

3D Visualization of Advertising Spaces

The advertiser at a German airport uses Dynamics NAV as an ERP system to manage the rental of all advertising spaces. For easier selection of advertising spaces, a 3D visualization of the airport was necessary.

Implementation by Infosim®

  • 3D visualization of the airport based on Three.js (Javascript)
  • Intuitive navigation for touch and mouse navigation
  • Two-way flow of information with existing data in the ERP system (Dynamics NAV)

Overall booking process could be simplified and accelerated

 

Extension of ERP Data with Excel and Access Analyses, Monthly Closing, and Inventory Management

The customer requires advanced analysis capabilities for their ERP data. The ERP system does not offer extension possibilities and is very static. In order to be able to quickly implement the customer’s frequent requests for changes to the database queries, Microsoft Access was used as the front end with a direct connection to the ERP data from Oracle and MS-SQL for additional data storage. To enable employees to easily make additions to the required lists themselves, corresponding Excel templates were created with a direct link to the database so that the required data could be called up directly in the spreadsheets.

Implementation by Infosim®

  • Consolidation, extension, and maintenance of complex Access databases and Excel templates
  • Collection of standalone, application-specific tools (e.g., bill of materials tool)
  • Application for inventory management (creation of count lists, input, correction, and ERP validation)
  • Automated analysis of key financial data

Work processes were optimized and accelerated through the use of different tools, increasing clarity.

6 Steps : 1 Solution – Project Workflow

There are countless models for software development, and buzzwords like ‘Agile Development’ and ‘Extreme Programming’ are on everyone’s lips.

In our experience, the classical model with the six phases of requirements analysis, design, implementation, testing, deployment and maintenance usually comes quite close to reality.

1. Requirements Analysis

The client describes their requirements, and through mutual dialogue, we capture the requirements for the software. This process may result in a specification document.

2. Design

We create a solution proposal based on your specifications.
All requirements and ideas are taken into account in order to find the optimum solution for you. At the end of the process, you will receive a requirement specification or offer.

3. Implementation

With the plan in place and the contract signed, software development begins. During this phase, there is typically close collaboration with you to accommodate any last-minute changes in requirements. Through iterative cycles of development and testing, your new software takes shape.

4. Testing

Once everything is technically complete, the software undergoes testing and acceptance.

5. Deployment

The goal is to ensure a smooth transition to the new software. Individual training on how to use the software is provided.

6. Maintenance

Every actively used software requires maintenance to ensure long-term stability and to implement any changed requirements. We ensure that your software is always operational. Additionally, we are happy to continue supporting you beyond your current project and provide assistance whenever needed.

Too Complex for a Simple Task?

 

The exact process required for a specific project may vary depending on a number of variables. For a small adjustment, a detailed functional specification may not always be necessary, as it could unnecessarily increase administrative overhead, outweighing the overall effort.

Standard Software vs. Individual Software – When to Use What?

What is Standard Software and When Do I Need It?

Standard software refers to pre-made programs that cover widely-used business processes, such as accounting, human resources management, or inventory management. These programs are typically cost-effective, readily available, and require minimal customization.

Standard software is particularly useful when your company has basic business requirements that can be addressed by existing solutions. They provide proven functionality and are often easy to use since they are already used by many companies.

However, companies sometimes encounter limitations when their requirements exceed what standard software can offer. In such cases, developing custom software solutions may be necessary to meet specific needs and further increase efficiency.

What is Individual Software and When Do I Need It?

In contrast to standard software, which provides pre-made solutions for general business processes, custom software development allows for the creation of tailored applications precisely suited to your company’s specific requirements.

Custom software solutions can address a variety of needs, from developing a custom app to integrating different software systems. They offer the flexibility to implement functionalities precisely tailored to your business processes, enhancing efficiency and productivity.

It is particularly advisable to develop custom software when your company has specific requirements that cannot be met by standard software. This may be the case if you have unique business processes, need to manage complex data structures, or require seamless integration of different systems. Custom software development provides a solution precisely tailored to your needs, helping your company achieve its goals more effectively.

What is the Right Solution for My Use Case?

When deciding between standard software and individual software development, it is crucial to consider the specific requirements of your company. Standard software offers a cost-effective and quick solution for general business processes, while custom software development provides tailored solutions for unique requirements.

Regardless of your choice, it is essential that your software solution aligns with your business goals and optimizes your workflows. If you have any questions about selecting the right solution and implementing it, we are here to help. Our experts provide comprehensive advice and assist you in finding the optimal software solution for your company. Contact us today for personalized consultation!
