reduce costs
run your business better with Quantum
do more with less
To stay competitive, you need to ensure that your money is going towards things that make you money - jobs, orders, properly stocked inventory, and well-scheduled teams. Your financial system gives you a rear view mirror look at things. If you want to sit in the driver's seat, you need to look out the front window. Quantum improves your current performance; helps you do your work better.
identify your spend
You need to know where you're spending to know where you can save. Quantum gives you real-time access to your Production Operations. It tracks expenses in your production cycles, feeds your team the right information at the right time, and tells you which work centers, jobs, tasks and team members are more (and less) efficient. You prioritize the work and Quantum optimizes it for you.
reduce your spend
You need to know if you're carrying too much inventory, if rush shipping is driving up costs and if those are a result of orders being late. Quantum tracks the time and money you're spending on your shop floor. It knows when you're over or under what you expected, and where the overruns happened. Identify problems early and focus on the highest priority and highest profit jobs.
identify costs before they become a problem
know your spend
Your financial system can report this in arrears, but can't always pinpoint costs of things in-process, and that's where your spending all your current time and money. By the time the finance team has found overages, it's too late to do anything about it. Compare work over a period of time with Quantum and see if your team is trending up or down in costs. Compare one team member to another to see performance across the group.
reduce production time
When you automate your processes, it saves precious planning, scheduling, re-scheduling and observation time. With a digital production assistant, you will always have access to the information you need. Quantum will run your entire shop from scheduling through to job performance so you can see where you're making and losing money as it happens and make adjustments in real-time. If a critical resource is not available today, Quantum quickly provides alternate paths or adjusts to push the work off until tomorrow and backfill with the next highest priority work, reducing the time you spend planning all day and the time to do the actual job.
solve problems faster
You need to solve problems as they happen in the shop. It's rare that a day goes perfectly if you have people and materials that you work with. You need to solve problems fast to minimize the impact they have on your team. Quantum gives you access to every workflow, every job, every operator, every issue. Get the information you need real-time, so you can really solve your problems. Move even faster by solving problems before they happen. Quantum gives you early warnings on inventory, jobs, people, work centers and other critical areas of your shop so you can solve the problem before it becomes a real issue.
