The nAxiom platform supports the digitalization of production

An increasingly competitive business environment puts manufacturers under constant pressure to modernize technology, optimize costs, improve the quality of their products and the way they work with suppliers, partners and customers.

Most companies have or plan to implement or modernize an ERP system. It offers a wide range of ready-made functionalities. It supports the main processes and organizes the company's activities. However, the expectations of the management staff often go much further. This results from the need to have a personalized application or systems and functions that allow the company to stand out on the market and thus reach the customer. It is expected that the solutions used will help to react quickly to changes and will be the answer to the following challenges.

Challenges of manufacturing companies 

Time-to-market, or the time from idea to implementation. Business needs solutions "right now", the pace at which the market changes does not allow the implementation of changes to take half a year or longer, as in the case of traditional development of new functionality. Manufacturers need processes, technologies and solutions that connect information between systems and provide intuitive applications for employees. Without them, rapid introduction of products to the market and driving organizational changes may be impossible.

• Prototyping. Agile approach to change. It often happens that a company has great ideas that could build a competitive advantage or improve the company's operations. However, the experience of employees or management associated with the enormous effort and very long time of implementing changes means that the issues of modernization and new solutions are becoming a thing of the past. What if it was possible to quickly test an idea at low cost and low risk?
• Omnichanel. Once created, the application is available on various devices. From a typical browser, through native mobile applications downloaded from the Google Play or App Store, to various devices, e.g. data collectors or touch screens in production.
• IT resource capabilities. Often, the number of ideas generated by business exceeds the capabilities of IT departments. The lack of processing power means that the development of the company can be severely limited. What if it was possible to transfer the element of application creation from programmers to analysts?
• Multi-company. In the case of capital groups, there is often a problem of diversity of ERP systems. There is a need for a solution that will allow for the common interface, process management in one application and will enable data consolidation.

The answer to such expectations is the use of a low-code platform, nAxiom, which allows for the implementation of all the above-mentioned postulates. It supports the management of people, processes and data. It is used to create efficient and secure software supporting digital transformation by streamlining and automating business processes. It allows for building solutions integrated with key IT systems without interfering with their source code.
