Edmonton, AB -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/18/2012 -- Trakware Systems Inc., a leading software company focused on business management solutions for engineer to order, custom, and project-based manufacturers. Trakware CEO, Randy Richel, commented, "Parametrics involves the ability to adjust based on parameters. The dictionary definition of a parametric equation implies that such parameters are based on coordinates. For a project-based manufacturer using a manufacturing execution system (MES), those coordinates take on great importance. MES technology solutions should include parametrics which go far beyond using parameters only to represent coordinates," according to Randy Richel, and added that, "Coordinates should have the capacity to dynamically adjust bills of materials, bills of labor, routings, costs, selling prices, and sizes."

Few MES solutions have an advanced parametric configurator that allows users to build parts and products that have full parametric capabilities. And yet, to increase lean productivity and profitability, complex parts and products with unlimited variations must be represented by a single item.

Trakware Systems is the worldwide leader in manufacturing execution system (MES) solutions for engineer-to-order (ETO) and project-based manufacturers maximizing both profitability and productivity. Trakware specializes in lean business-critical functions such as estimating, advanced scheduling, job costing, production management and labor as well as material shop floor data collection. TRAKware software fully integrates with existing ERP systems, as well as major software providers for financials, engineering design, optimization, payroll and wireless interaction for mobile workers. Trakware recognizes ETO manufacturing as a process and includes a wide range of industry sectors including Architectural Woodworking, Cabinets, Store Fixtures, Doors and Windows, Furniture, Oil and Gas Fabrication, Solid Surface, Metal Fabrication, Yachts-building, and Custom Electronics.

About Trakware Systems
Founded in 1995, Trakware's partners include Microsoft, Oracle, ADP, Sage, and SolidWorks, Dell and TouchSystems.

Wood Working and Fabrication Firms find Engineer to Order Profitability with Trakware

Edmonton, AB -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/13/2012 -- Trakware Systems Inc., a leading software company focused on business management solutions for engineer to order, custom, and project-based manufacturers, announced that Watson Wood Works selected TRAKware and has realized maximization of profit margins by identifying which products and departments create value and which drag on profitability. Trakware CEO, Randy Richel, also noted that Watson Wood Works was able to coordinate the front and back office processes, communication and critical project oriented data.

Richel commented that, "Engineer-to-Order wood working, fabricators and metalworking organizations must be able to accurately estimate all projects rather than "guesstimate". It is equally important to automate material changes between purchasing, estimating, and project management."

Cost savings are often achieved through the elimination of redundant data entry for all project work orders. Fully automated shop floor data collection in real-time (per project and per employee) with TRAKware drives profitable completion of every project.

Established in 1984, Watson Wood Works has become a dominant participant in the architectural woodworking industry. Located in the central region of North Carolina, Watson Wood Works is readily accessible to the state's major commercial markets. A modern 42,000 square foot manufacturing facility equipped with precision CNC capabilities enables Watson to meet the ever changing and technically challenging demands of their custom manufacturing environment. Watson Wood Works began the search for a solution to integrate data collection and key performance metrics reporting into a powerful decision support system in order to more efficiently accommodate the rapid project evolvement inherent to construction projects. This needed to be accomplished through tight integration of estimating, engineering, project management, and production within the company.

"TRAKware is the infrastructure that allows Watson Wood Works to be agile and powerful as we respond to market conditions and strive to deliver incomparable customer service. TRAKware quickly met our top priority: giving management clear visibility into each project through our architectural woodworking operation," said Jesse Watson, 3rd generation employee at Watson Wood Works.

TRAKware software empowers business-critical functions for the custom manufacturer such as estimating, advanced scheduling, job costing, production management, inventory, capacity management and planning, labor-material shop floor and field installation data collection. TRAKware integrates with existing ERP and MRP systems, and leading software providers for financial accounting.

Edmonton, AB -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/12/2012 -- According to CEO, Randy Richel, "Many woodworking companies make amazing custom products and are truly engineer-to-order manufacturers. Many woodworkers do not identify themselves as ETO. They are. ETO manufacturers, in woodworking, (or any custom manufacturing process), can no longer sustain an internal legacy or home-grown database solution to run the business. Visibility to real-time business data is an essential requirement to make strategic and tactical business decisions. Trakware Systems is a leading provider of profitability and productivity business optimization software for small to midsize project, contract, engineer-to-order (ETO) manufacturing, fabrication, and construction companies. ETO companies are turning to Trakware (http://www.trakware.com) for a cohesive solution starting with estimating that automatically populate the contracts or projects won to enable:

- Production management
- Automatic creation of Bills of Material (BOM's)
- Material requirements
- Inventory management
- Labor scheduling and tracking (shop floor and field)
- Work order creation
- Change management and releasing

Many woodworking businesses struggle with getting essential data from manual processes, disparate software programs, and remote employees. The result is often lost data, poor customer service, and management decisions based upon inaccurate or untimely customer, project and financial data. Norm Fink, Trakware's VP Sales commented, "Companies fully evaluate the ProjectTRAK Suite commencing with a TRAKware demo, then implement the fully integrated manufacturing solution to dramatically improve the effectiveness and profitability of their woodworking business."

Bear Wood Leverages Quickbooks Investment with TRAKware ETO Software

Edmonton, AB -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/18/2012 -- Trakware Systems is a leading provider of profitability and productivity business optimization software for small to midsize project, contract, engineer-to-order (ETO) manufacturing, fabrication, and construction companies. The company announced an agreement with Bearwood Concepts, a high end hospitality industry fabricator and manufacturer to provide and implement the ProjectTRAK suite of software. Bearwood based in Tulsa, Oklahoma designs, develops and manufactures commercial environments with a special focus on fixture related products for the retail and high end hospitality Industry. The firm specialties include Custom Perimeter Walls, Center Fixtures, Showcases, Back Islands, Dressing Rooms, Service Counters, for customers like Dillards, Macy's, Saks 5th Ave, 7-Eleven, Cherokee Nation, AAFES & Nexcom. Bearwood has strong growth projections and selected TRAKware to power their business into the future based on TRAKware's scalability and scope.

Bearwood could no longer sustain an internal legacy or home-grown database solution to run the business. Visibility to real-time business data was an essential requirement to make strategic and tactical business decisions. The goal was to find a cohesive solution starting with estimating that would automatically populate the contracts or projects won to enable:

- Production management
- Automatic creation of Bills of Material (BOM's)
- Material requirements
- Inventory management
- Labor scheduling and tracking (shop floor and field)
- Work order creation
- Change management and releasing

Seamless integration with Intuit's QuickBooks was also key requirements. Many businesses struggle with getting essential data from manual processes, disparate software programs, and remote employees.

Companies, like Bearwood, see a TRAKware demo, then implement a fully integrated manufacturing solution from Trakware and dramatically improve the effectiveness and profitability of their small business. More than 50% of Trakware's customers run QuickBooks.
