THE BUSINESS CHALLENGE. THE CHANGE. THE RESULT.
Production planning and reporting varied across locations, and an ERP without a useful graphical interface limited access to operational information. With no developers in-house, the manufacturer needed delivery expertise as well as a new application.
Two developers built an OutSystems planning application in six months, connecting ERP information to a graphical production schedule and delivery-date view. The approach supported collaboration across production and warehouse locations.
The source reports worldwide use by production, planning, logistics and dispatch teams, along with more reliable schedules and earlier operational action. It describes qualitative efficiency and service improvements without a quantified cost or productivity return.

DIGITAL ALCHIMIA’S DELIVERY PERSPECTIVE
The useful next step is to connect the story to your own operating reality. Here are the questions we would bring into that conversation.
01
A graphical board needs consistent order, capacity and delivery information underneath it. Agree how changes flow back into the ERP and who resolves conflicts between locations. OutSystems professionals can reinforce the integration and workflow design while production owners define the operational rules.
02
A manufacturer without an internal development team still needs clear product ownership and support decisions. Identify process experts, acceptance tasks and maintenance responsibilities before the first release. That helps specialist capacity produce an application the business can operate and evolve, rather than simply a successful initial demonstration.
