A+W Cantor ERP + CIM
You are guided through the entry of offers and jobs and incorrect entries or technically incomplete entries are ruled out, as extensive rules for technical checks are entered in the master data alongside items such as fittings or profiles. Thanks to integrated materials management, data is only entered once in the job and is available for orders of purchased parts and stock.
A+W Cantor creates transparency in your company – continuously through to your production incl. shipping as well as service and installation planning. You always maintain an overview and work to schedule and according to requirements. You can display the current status of the order for example. This means that you can give your customers direct information and save searching for paper files in production, which takes time.

rules that apply for your company. - In the CAD, you can build complex special forms and have the system calculate the prices for these in
detail. - The Web configurators of adeco, dpi, OBUK, Rodenberg, ROMA, Schlotterer Sonnenschutz, and Warema are

entry. - With A+W Cantor, a remake order for a customer complaint can be generated with just a few clicks, and the
reference to the original order is retained. - The software is multilingual, so you can serve customers around the world in your local language.
Purchasing and material management

necessary. This keeps your inventories at an optimal level. - For all order-related purchased materials, completely priced purchase orders are generated for the stored
suppliers. - Automated order management and electronic communication with your suppliers can be handled via openTRANS®.
- Incoming and outgoing goods can be booked automatically or using a mobile scanner.

process throughput. - Use the integrated SQL tool to create queries in order to depict, analyze, and optimize any area of your
company. - A personal overview – your cockpit – can be used to control your company as needed.
- All documents and communication between departments are stored in the system, which contributes to paperless
office organization, lean administration, and thus great efficiency at every step.
