To maintain their leading position in the high-tech market, NTS needed to eliminate inefficiencies and risks caused by fragmented data management. The lack of synchronization between engineering data in Teamcenter and procurement data in Navision not only slowed down product development, but also introduced costly errors in parts ordering and production planning. Ensuring a single source of truth for BoM data across systems became essential to reduce manual work, improve data governance, and enable engineers to focus on innovation instead of repetitive cross-checking.
Business Need: To maintain their leading position in the high-tech market, NTS needed to eliminate inefficiencies and risks caused by fragmented data management. The lack of synchronization between engineering data in Teamcenter and procurement data in Navision not only slowed down product development, but also introduced costly errors in parts ordering and production planning. Ensuring a single source of truth for BoM data across systems became essential to reduce manual work, improve data governance, and enable engineers to focus on innovation instead of repetitive cross-checking.
Solution: The solution was a Mendix app seamlessly integrated with Teamcenter and Navision. This app not only compared BoM structures but generated insightful reports on data governance and inconsistencies. Engineers used the first report to link incorrect parts between Navision and Teamcenter. Other reports streamlined the creation of new parts and BoM adjustments in Navision.
Results: The impact was remarkable. What once took up to 50 days for an engineer was now accomplished in just one. Manual errors were minimized, and efficiency soared.
