HIGH PRAISE FOLLOWING SUCCESSFUL 13-YEAR PARTNERSHIP
» SINCE 2010 , EUROCELL HAS BEEN utilising Virtual Shopfloor , PST ’ s innovative manufacturing-based software that allows fabricators to choose from a library of 3D model templates or create custom designs from scratch using a free form tool .
Matt Rick , Eurocell ’ s Conservatory Roof System Technical Manager , comments : “ The main reason we approached PST was due to the positive feedback from their other customers , and since then , we ’ ve been using Virtual Shopfloor for our conservatory roof system . We also now use it for our garden rooms and LUMA , our recently launched roof light product .
“ Virtual Shopfloor has brought numerous benefits to Eurocell ’ s operations , and one of the notable advantages is the significant reduction in processing time . Previously , we would generate multiple quotes for a single contract when clients requested various colours and materials . With Virtual Shopfloor , these options are combined and presented on a single sheet , resulting in substantial time saving .
“ Additionally , Virtual Shopfloor enables seamless custom integration . When progressing through a contract status , the software automatically generates export files for purchase orders of thirdparty items , eliminating the need for manual data entry and further enhancing efficiency .
“ The way in which the Virtual Shopfloor interface is structured is completely different to anything else we ’ ve used in the past . Previous products we ’ ve used have been dated and have had minimal focus on driving the development on the roofing side – PST ’ s software is better in terms of the visuals and manufacturing output , and is capable of producing more designs which enables us to achieve a higher flat pack capability .
“ It ’ s not just the product that has benefitted us , but working with PST too . With previous software suppliers , we often found that the programmers had no engineering experience , and information was often lost in translation .
“ PST ’ s customer-focused and agile approach has played a big part in Eurocell ’ s growth – not only has Virtual Shopfloor given us an incredible advantage through streamlining our conservatory roof department , but it has also enhanced our design and production capability .”
