Manufacturing

Maximize productivity and sales channels and improve customer service by sharing files with clients and partners the safe and easy way.

Effective team collaboration and quality customer service give you the competitive advantage when manufacturing and selling industrial products and services. Providing partners and customers with quick and easy access to the information they need when they need it strengthens team coordination, accelerates productivity, and helps secure long-lasting client relationships. Meanwhile, keeping your product descriptions, price lists, and technical information out of reach from your competitors is also the trick of the trade.

Murray Controls

Murray Controls designs and produces electrical control panels for major manufacturing and automotive firms. For each project, teams involving clients, subcontractors, subject matter experts, and employees need to share extremely large CAD / CAM documents with each other while maintaining document quality. With ftopia’s solution, each customer is invited into a dedicated, secure, and customized environment where they will find useful information that is always available and up-to-date.

ftopia gives our projects a sense of professionalism and quality unattainable through email or other document sharing tools.

In such a competitive industry that relies so much on effective communication and collaboration, traditional file management and sharing methods just aren’t up to speed. The lack of a system that ensures reliability, accessibility, confidentiality, and the ability to transmit large multimedia files slows down the cycle. Technical challenges can easily cost your company business…especially when they prevent your team from meeting your clients’ needs before your competitors get to them.

The Challenges with Traditional Systems

Email Attachments

  • File size limits and server rejection/delivery failure issues
  • Confidentiality risks and poor security
  • Inability to sort multiple revisions of documents circulating among numerous parties creates file clutter and leads to costly mistakes

FTP Sites

  • Costly to operate and overly complex for non-technical users – IT staff support required for account setup, standard tasks, and frequent maintenance
  • Firewall policies/IT network restrictions, delivery failure issues, and slow downloads
  • Confidentiality risks and poor security

Network File Servers

  • Costly to operate – requires hardware purchase and IT staff support for installation, setup, and ongoing maintenance
  • Limited to internal use
  • Confidentiality risks

Document Management Systems (DMS) and Enterprise Content Management (ECM)

  • Costly to purchase, install, setup, and run
  • Overly complex for casual and external users
  • Confidentiality risks

Customer Portal or Extranet

  • Custom-made and very expensive to develop and maintain
  • Lack of flexibility required for serving projects with small teams and limited periods of time
